Angina 4
Living with Angina
If your symptoms are well controlled and you make healthy lifestyle changes you can usually have a normal life with angina. To reduce the risk of serious problems you should have a healthy, balanced diet, cut down your alcohol consumption, stop smoking, lose weight and become more active.
You can continue to work, though if your work involves heavy lifting you may need to speak to your employer about changes you can make to reduce the risk of a heart attack. Some people worry that having s*x will trigger an angina attack, but the risk of this happening is very low. Finally, you can usually continue to drive if you have angina. Ask your GP if it is safe for you to drive.
