Hi everyone

I'm not yet diagnosed with angina. But because of the problems I'm experiencing, such as neck, jaw and chest pain and breathlessness etc, I've been given a nitrate spray. I'm also taking Imdur (a tablet form of the nitrate spray). I also have high blood pressure and am on Losartan.

Over the last couple of weeks on and off I've noticed a vein in my neck bulging and you can see it pulsing. I also had pain in this area on the left hand side of my neck. I went to A&E and they did an ecg and were happy that my heart was not in trouble. Is this a problem for anyobe else having a visibly bulging and pulsing vein in neck thats also hurts a bit?

Many thanks!

    Hi,i have unstable angina, in relation to your question yes, i think so, i have heard that mentioned before in relation to angina.An ECG will not always diagnose angina unfortunately, i had to have an angiogram before they diagnosed mine. You'll get there in the end am sure, take good care of yourself

      Hi, i don't personally but i have read it as being one of the symptoms associated with angina. I have kidney disease which gave me severe hypertension and angina, i would talk to your doctor about this or ask for a referral as you need a definitive diagnosis
