"I have angina, and over the past year began a regime of Bayer (or Bufferin) starting at 500 mg every morning. Things got a little worse after six months, and I upped my dosage to 1000 mg per day. This was all self-medication without medical consult (I knew what the problem was). Finally, even the 1000 mg a day wasn't working, and I went to see the doctor. He put me on 50 mg of Lopressor per day, and things turned around within 2 days. The pain is gone, and I can get a whole night's sleep without waking up in the middle of the morning (usually 3-4 am, when the incidence of heart attack is the highest statistically) in major pain. So far so good. If you have angina, then DO see a doctor. Get the tests! After all, it's really your life you're dealing with."
