Angina is a Pain!

She won't go away, always lurking. Yesterday she pounced again. Perhaps she didn't like my 100m walk to Sainsburys. It was a cold morning but not as cold as today. I hadn't eaten anything and had just a cup of caffeine free tea.

Today she hid. Same walk; same amount of tea.

Well tomorrow the struggle continues, as we used to say in the early seventies. It's a different sort of struggle now!

I'm due to meet a Cardiac Rehab Psychologist. I'll report back.

I should perhaps mention that this Christmas has been a bit stressful so Angina has had every opportunity to play up. 

There was the shocking news that Carol had died.  Carol and I were friends and had been married. We'd not been in touch for 10 years or so but I fully expected to hear from her. Thanks Olly for letting me know. Carol was a very special and lovely person. More on this soon. 

Then there's been a problem with a member of the family who lives and works in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. I won't go into detail other than say it's been a massive challenge for Angina.

So far, the new mix of Amlodipine and Ranazoline is giving my Angina a hard time and whereas I'd have to use my GTN spray at least once a day, I haven't used it for several weeks....
