Hi neverdem,
I just posted to the thread for Judy as she approaches her death--(it's scary to even write that--God bless her!) So sad.
Anyway, I clicked a link to her list of posts and saw this thread.
This is an issue (perhaps) for me. I have been having chest pain off and on, but consistently, for about a year now.
I have tried to read about "typical" chest pain symptoms to see if my symptoms matched. They never really did...until I found some information about microvascular angina. I have yet to see the cardiologist because I have been dealing with skin cancer and, having gotten that resolved, hoped to get better health insurance. So I put the chest issues "on hold".
Do you mind if I ask if this is something you are dealing with? Is there a web site you know about that might be of interest to me regarding this issue?
Thanks for anything you can share.
Prayers for Judy and her family. It must have been such a shock--no matter that they warn you of possible serious risks with these procedures.

On microvascular angina in particular, no. Here are some general reference links for the public.
PubMed links to the professional literature. You could try entries such as (microvascular angina and women), therapy for a start. I would look at Review articles first. If you find an article that looks promising, look near the title to find the "Related Articles" link.
