Angina at rest
by Heartsy71, Mar 30, 2008 09:18AM
My husband has had by-pass surgery involving three vessels. At three different times he has had stents put in. Three months ago when he went in for a check-up he was told that his heart was getting weaker. He has had some angina all along during the day, but for the past month he has been having angina at night, that would wake him up. It has been very severe in pain, but usually one or two nitrostats will stop it. It usually occurs from three to four times a week. This week it has been three straight nights. He said that the doctor told him that if the pain was stopped with the nitrostats, it was no need to call him, but this angina is occuring at night. From all that I have read, this is a very dangerous situation. What can I expect will happen and how do I get him to understand that this is serious. Thanks for your help.
