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

Possible heart attack
Hi all I had a small heart attack in Oct 2015, had one stent then and another in January and then another in July of 2016. I haven’t felt right all the way through, continual chest pains at rest and walking and breathlessness. Nobody can seem to get to the bottom of things. I’ve had 5-6 angiograms, stress

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?

Carpbait
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

Imdur and frequent urge to urinate

When to use GTN spray?
Hi all. I’m struggling today and just wanted some advice. I’m on Nicorandil and Monomil at the moment and also have a gtn spray but I’m really not sure when to use it. I feel like I’ve had a fat cat strapped on my chest all day and also breathlessness- this is nothing new but can be varying degrees
