Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Around 2010 diagnosed with stress related Angina - provided with a Nitrolingual Spray to be taken as & when-I have not experienced further attacks over several months-until around 05.00am this morning. I found my-self waking up from pains coming from the middle of my chest which has left me rather anxious-Please are you able to give me any advise?
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic. I can understand your concern. Stress related angina needs proper control of stress. In this condition there is no heart or coronary damage. But stress causes sudden coronary spasm and this gives chest pain. So proper management of stress is the only thing needed in your case. In my opinion, you should consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions. Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on it's solution. You may need additional anxiolytic drugs. Don't worry, you will be alright. Avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
