My wonderful father is 78 and has been diagnosed with angina. He has had a few attacks but none of them serious it seems. Main problem is that he is scared and a very down. He keeps saying how sad he feels when he thinks of all the things he has done and won't be able to do again WHen the DC and I turned up he got quite tearful (not like him at all)
He is also claiming that his spray doesn't work - he has a tight feeling in his chest and can't take a breath but as this is happening all the time and the GP didn't hospitalise him I am assuming it's not that serious. I wondered if he was suffering from panic attacks - when I had them I experienced that horrible tight chest feeling.
GP is making an appointment with a consultant - apparently he is si fit otherwise there may be 'further options'. What options?
Anyone, medical bod or otherwise, tell me anything about angina please. I am feeling quite shaken and sad after today.
