During the last few weeks or so, I’ve had a niggling discomfort now and then ,Id best describe it as bad indigestion, Centred in the middle of my chest, Thought nothing of it but something just didn’t feel right.
This morning I decided to jump on zwift and do the 3 sisters route which involves a bloody big climb, while climbing I noticed the discomfort getting worse the more I pushed, heart rate was around the 140-150 bpm, I’m not a fast climber, just a plodder really, but knew at the top of the climb something wasn’t right ?
Cant say it was painful just really really uncomfortable, had mild pins and needles in my hands and the hair on my arms was standing up ???
Phoned doctors straight away and explained how I felt and within 30 mins I was sitting in the waiting room of the local doctors waiting to have bloods and a ecg done .. all looks ok on ecg etc, doc gave me a good look over checking heart, lungs etc, all seems fine apart from this chest pain, Booked in to see a cardiologist asap and see what they say ? .. doctor thinks its Angina, and prescribed me asprin and a GTN spray to use if it gets bad , also atorvastatin to help with cholesterol levels despite mine being ok ??
anyone in STW world live with Angina and how has it affected you and what if anything has helped ?
If I’m honest its scared the shit out of me today, not just health wise , but livelihood as well being a hgv driver, thankfully angina doesn’t need to reported to the dvla if its controllable , which I’m hoping this is
Thanks for any advise
