State of the heart

I recently ran into a friend who told me about a scary experience she had a few months back, when she suffered sudden and severe chest pains. At first she thought she was having a heart attack but luckily the pains eased after a few minutes. It turns out she’d had an angina attack, and she’s now on medication for it. She says people tell her to be grateful it’s “only angina” and she wishes they understood how difficult it can be to live with.
