text: waiting for angio! replies to your questions? thanks so much for your replies. i live in england and thats why i have to wait for the angiogram.i have to have a heart attack for them to do it any sooner. i really dont want that!!! i am pretty breathless on any excertion, so a light walk is all i'll do. you have all helped and explained alot more to me than the our doctors here.  thank you again x aged 40 i would strongly encourage you to bypass the medical system and pay for an angiogram out of pocket if need be. i had a 100% blockage and even with a private health care system i had to wait a few days.   keep your nitro tablets on you at all times and stay close to a hospital. i do not mean to scare you but you are facing a very serious situation. for some reason everyone gets blase about heart problems unless they are the ones with the problem. if you go to the emergency room they are pretty much obligated to treat you. at least that is the case here in the states. i would not recommend getting on a plane and going anywhere. i found out about my problem at 29000 feet. it was right after 9/11 and i thought i was having an anxiety attack. it turns out i was blocked.   take care and i wish you the best. what part of england are you located? if you want to get more information on this e-mail me at joespillman@hotmail.com  i have been through 4 angiograms.
