Can you drive a car with angina?

As a medical professional, I must emphasize the importance of safety when it comes to driving with any medical condition, including angina. Angina is chest pain or discomfort caused by poor blood flow to the heart, which can be a symptom of heart disease. It's crucial to understand the risks and guidelines associated with driving when you have this condition. Angina does not automatically disqualify you from driving, but there are certain conditions under which you should not drive. You do not need to inform the DVLA about your angina unless it affects your ability to drive safely. You may continue to drive even if you are on medication for angina, as long as your symptoms are well-managed and do not occur during rest, driving, or emotional stress. However, if your angina symptoms occur while you are at rest, during driving, or with emotional triggers, you must cease driving immediately and seek medical attention to get your symptoms under control before you resume driving. It's always best to consult with your healthcare provider to understand how your specific condition might affect your ability to drive and what precautions you should take.
