Can Stable Angina Be Cured By Medication?

Hi, I am diagnosed with stable angina. The doctor prescribed me Vastarel MR and Concor 2,5, I wish to know if this is the correct medication I need? The doctor also talked about a possible surgery. I feel that this a little bit too drastic. Can the prblem be fixed/stabilized only with medication ? I am a male, 70 years old, in perfect physical conditions. Many thanks.

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
No need for surgery at present.
You should first take anti angina drugs and see for results.
If you are controlled with drugs, no need for surgery. Surgery is needed only in resistant cases where drugs are not giving symptomatic relief.
You are taking correct drugs for angina. So continue them.
You will mostly improve with drugs only.
Along with anti angina drugs you should follow these steps for better symptomatic relief.
1. Avoid heavy exertion. Start light exercise.
2. Strict control of blood pressure if you are hypertensive.
3. Strict control of diabetes if you are diabetic.
4. Avoid oil, fat and salt from food.
Don't worry, you will be alright with drugs only, surgery is not needed in your case.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
