So my dad has been diagnosed with Angina- he is on different meds but can't even walk far at Present without chest pain. He is currently off work but is self employed and so can't be off forever. He is in a manual job and he is worried he won't ever be able to go back to it as there is a degree of lifting items etc. So my question is will he ever recover enough to be able to return to a manual job or should he just sell up his business? How many of you are recovered to the extent that you are living a life where you can work in manual or other jobs without major issues? Thanks for any input

    Hi folks, so my dad went into his work today- he was feeling fine for a while but then he said he started getting a sensation that he was almost sweating internally and felt a great heat inside his chest. He then just came home and rested.

    Is this an Angina attack? Or is it because he just needs to build up his stamina again? Thanks for any input.
