It could be the flying or the change in climate or both.
Hi Gasp1, I too suffer from microvascular angina. Last year I suffered terribly with swollen feet and hands, especially when I'd flown to Athens on a business trip and my feet were so swollen I couldn't get my safety boots on. My fingers looked like fat Sausages. I put it down to flying and the heat but I started getting it when I woke in the morning and when it wasn't so warm. I contacted my cardio team and had a n echo heart scan to make sure there wasn't any muscle damage that could have been causing it and was told it was a common side effect of Felodipine. My dose was reduced from 10mg to 5mg a day and the issue went away. Its worth just getting it checked out.
