There is lots you can do.
Firstly, it is important to know that having an active sex life does not put you at significant risk unless you have very severe coronary artery disease. Despite what we think at the time, the average man doesn't use that much energy (in terms of metabolic equivalents) to "perform". If you have undergone a stress test on the treadmill and managed more than 3-5 minutes then the risks are very low.
There are lots of pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments available. Most hospitals will have an ED nurse either attached to the urology or cardiology department. Men surprisingly sometimes find it easier to talk about this with women, rather than other men.
If you use your sublingual GTN/NTG regularly then viagra etc are a no go area. But I would also argue that if you are needing to use the spray regularly then your angina meds should be optimised or your cardiologist should be considering if you would benefit from revascularisation (angioplasty or bypass surgery). Angina drug wise, a long-acting nitrate or potassium channel activator (nicorandil or ikorel) cannot be combined with viagra etc. If you are taking one of these then you could consider switching to another drug e.g. a calcium channel blocker (speak to your cardiologist about the options).
It is a very common problem that can be helped in the vast majority of cases. The first step is seeking help...best of luck!

So we understand that angina is the result of not enough blood being received by the heart. There are two possibilities to your problem; 1. since not enough blood is getting to the heart, then there is not enough blood to cause an erection. 2. The medication that you are on is a side effect, causing the problem. You know you need to get rid of the heart conditions anyway, so when you do you get your sex life back. I have seen men use mangosteen juice for both problems and see results in a matter of 30-60 days. I have listed some sources for you to read up on your question.

Erectile Dysfunction can be devastating to men, and unfortunately, millions of men suffer from the condition. Learn how to cure erectile dysfunction https://tr.im/kdb8R
If you go to the doctor to talk about the issue, you’re likely to get put on one or more of the popular medications used to treat the condition. While they can be effective (temporarily), these medications come with a raft of side effects, some of which are decidedly unpleasant. Even worse, these medications aren’t really a cure, they’re more like a temporary workaround.
Worst of all, they tend to be really expensive. Month after month, you’re having to pay to work around your condition. That’s what the Big Pharmaceutical companies want.
