Certain Positions Bring On Angina
Can someone tell me why certain positions I sleep in bring on angina? I know it sounds strange, but it does happen. When I lay on either side with my arms draped down in front of me angina sets in and wakes me up. I have to take nitro in order to relieve this. At times once the angina starts I am not able to lie on my back until the angina subsides.
Thanks, Ally

Interesting article regarding sleep positions and the study shows there may be a problem with left-side lying position for some people.
I may have answered my question:
