Can Heart Spasms Be Treated As Disability For Social Security?

I have coronary spasms on the bridge of my heart which occurs at anytimme day or night and at rest. I take cardizem 240 1 daily, imdur 30 mg twice daily, plavix 75mg for blood thinner,nitro pills and the nitro spray along with diovan for hbp. I had a heart cath last yr and my cardiologist saw my heart go into spasms and flushed it with nitro. I am in and out of the hospital cause of the spasms which the call variant angina. Could this be a disablilty for social security?

The disability question can only be answered by your treating doctor and the social security administration. Be sure that you have discussed additional sources of discomfort that may be confusing. It is more important to get control of the problem and be sure that you are treating the right problem. I have encountered people with variant angina who also had abnormalities of the esophagus making the control of symptoms very challenging.
