angina pain

[Madk]

Hello everyone, I hope you're all doing well and enjoying good health. I have a question regarding angina pain. Earlier this year, in January 2023, I experienced a heart attack. I'm 37 years old, and following the balloon procedure, my doctor prescribed regular medication. However, I have continued to experience chest pain on multiple occasions, leading me to visit the A&E. The healthcare professionals suspect that I may be dealing with angina pain. As a result, they prescribed additional medication and referred me to a cardiologist. Unfortunately, I am still waiting for my appointment with the specialist, which has been scheduled for over a year.

I would greatly appreciate any guidance on how to approach this matter with my doctor. I want to discuss all my concerns and clear any uncertainties. It's been a long wait, and I want to make the most of my upcoming specialist appointment. Thank you in advance for your advice.

Dear Madk,

I see that you are also a member of the British Heart Foundation and I'm guessing that you intended posting there and not on our Weight Loss Support forum.

That's not to say that you aren't very welcome here and if you have any weight related questions, we'd be more than happy to try and help you with them.

I would suggest writing down all your concerns. Make an appointment with your GP and deliver a copy of your questions to the surgery before your appointment to give the doctor time to address your issues in advance. They'll then be able to put your mind at rest when you have your face-to-face appointment.

I hope you get the answers you're looking for

Thank you for your response. I think it happened mistakenly. 🫠
