Thank you Rlw very much!! Glad you are feeling better..I have nitro patches I use too .ty
First of all, if your Drs are not addressing your issues, I would change Drs. I have had good and bad experiences with different cardiologists over the years and you need to find one who listens to you and helps. I have had angina for most of the last ten years and tried most of not all of the related drugs. My cardiologist suggested I try EECP about 90 days ago. I finished the treatment a couple of weeks ago and I feel great with no angina 90% of the time. The remaining 10% is handled with nitroglycerin tablet. This is not used by many cardiologists as it is relatively new, but I would highly recommend you check into it. The treatment was completely covered by insurance. Hope this helps and don’t let your health care provider get you down. There are answers out there.
I had a woman tell me she has 5 stents
