I Have Unstable Angina, Every Time I Have Gone To Hospital Blood Tests And ECG Ok, Is This Typical?
In the last 6 months I have had to go to A&E being admitted 3 times. Each time all the tests come back negative, blood tests and ECG good. One of the Cardiologist suggested the chest pain could be from my stomach. I don’t think so.
My chest pain is strong 7/ 10 and doesn’t respond to GTN sprays.
My doctors are not in agreement. So what’s my options
I have angina and was prescribed Ranexa 500 mg twice a day. Pain and fatigue disappeared after taking a week. Hopefully when I go back in Dec I will be cut back to 500 mg once a day.
I am sure it is frustrating to not have an answer, it is scary because you know how you feel. Keep searching I am sure they will figure it out.
I had unstable angina and the spray worked ,I also had angioplasty for seven blocked vessels
I also have angina and am taking ranexa 500.
Has also taken away the pain and for the most part the fatigue...but my problem is my insurance only covers part and even with a manufacturer coupon it cost me out of pocket $300.00 a month. I don't want to stop taking it cause I know it's working!
You need to have a catherization. I went to a different cardiologist after my original cardiologist told me to stop being paranoid. When I went to the new cardiologist he asked me what my catherization showed. I told him I never had a Cath. He was surprised because I had three positive stress test. So move on and find a different cardiologist. I ended up having to have triple bypass when if they had intervened years before I could of had a couple stents.
