Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Unfortunately angina of any kind can affect life expectancy because it indicates that there is reduced blood supply to some aspect of the heart.

Weight loss may be helpful but with a history of angina, your doctor should guide you about which exercises would be appropriate.

I hope this helps.
