Don't let angina interrupt your life

Because angina can be triggered by daily tasks, the fear associated with experiencing angina may stand in the way of simple chores and leisure activities. Many patients with angina downsize their lifestyle in order to avoid angina, limiting physical activities and spending more time resting and sleeping.8

Limitations to your life can become emotionally burdening. Together, these physical and emotional burdens can lower your quality of life (the way you feel and your ability to perform as you would like to).9

There are things you can do to limit these interruptions. Don’t let angina interrupt your life.
