I get jaw pain which spreads to the other side down my arm and up my back. The cardiologist says I have coronary artery vasospasm. My angiogram is clear but I have a funny ecg so she has asked for a 24 hr ecg and stress test and says I am OK to drive and work. Has anyone else experience of this condition and these tests. Do you work full time and drive? Are you on any medicine?

Hi, I am being treated for this - no I don't expect to die suddenly. I am prescribed statins, aspirin and a calcium channel blocker.

I am a SAHM but drive fine. Have no problems but do get tired easily. But I've always been this way, possibly exacerbated by the medication.

I have had loads of tests, diagnosis was by default as nothing else was found except something called a PFO. (google it), but no big deal, 25% of the popultation have it. My doctor said don't go deep sea diving and reckoned there weren't many marathon runners with it either.
