Angina
Hi all, Can I ask what your angina pains you get, as I am having different pains recently like electric shock to the heart they only last for a second, the other night I had about 8, I took gtn and the pain did go eventually. My doctor at the hospital said that shooting pains are not a symptom of angina

New girl unsure of what things mean
Hi Im new here & unsure of what this all means. I have had a few episodes of chest pain with pain in my jaw. (Four times it has happened in 7 weeks) GTN spray does help, I have needed to use it twice in two of my funny turns & three times twice. No evidence of a heart attack from ECG or blood tests

Angina and ECG
I have just come home after 2 days in hospital following an episode of prolonged chest pain which I treated with GTN spray, but which kept coming back over several hours. Doctor in A&E diagnosed heart pain and I was admitted. Kept having episodes and was put on a GTN infusion, which helped the pain

New and nervous about Angina and how to cope with it until CT Angiogram diagnosis.
I have recently been treated for suspected angina and awaiting CT Angiogram diagnosis. From getting symptoms when walking, I now get regular attacks whilst sitting relaxing. I’m on Bisoprolol, aspirin and GTN spray. Having fainted with early use of GTN I’m nervous about using it. I don’t get pain

Angina progressively getting worse
Just wondering if others have had similar experiences of Angina symptoms getting worse over 6-12months. Had a stent fitted in main left artery at the end of April20 instead of having a bypass because of Covid. They sent me home with the standard meds and I thought I was fixed, sadly I still got Angina

Coronary Artery Narrowing - help with symptoms
I have severe narrowing of 3 arteries. When it is really cold, even tiny exersise leaves me out of breath, which is a problem at work and also at home crossing the car park and climbing stairs to 1st floor flat. GTN spray does nothing. Any suggestions how to minimise until I have my Stents fitted?

I am after your thoughts, currently having talking therapy at my local Hospital, trying to overcome dread of second Heart Attack/Stroke, warned by Doctors to expect second of each at some time, therapist has suggested trying deep breathing exercises before reaching for my GTN spray, to see if that relaxes
