Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Your symptoms are suggestive of angina. Angina is usually due to
heart disease. A fatty substance called plaque builds up in your arteries, blocking blood flow to the heart muscle. This forces your heart to work with less oxygen. That causes pain. Treatment depends on how much damage there is to your heart. For people with mild angina, medicine and lifestyle changes can often help blood flow better and control symptoms. Kindly
consult a cardiologist.
Your doctor might prescribe medicines to:
1. Widen blood vessels, letting more blood flow to the heart
2. Slow the heart down so it doesn't have to work as hard
3. Relax blood vessels to let more blood flow to the heart
4. Prevent blood clots
If meds aren't enough, you may need to have blocked arteries opened with a medical procedure or surgery. This could be:
1.
Angioplasty /stenting
2. Coronary
artery bypass grafting (CABG), or bypass surgery
It's important that you listen to your body. If you feel pain, stop what you’re doing and rest. Know what triggers your angina, like stress or intense exercise. Try to avoid things that tend to set it off. For example, if large meals cause problems, eat smaller ones and eat more often.
These lifestyle changes can help protect your heart:
1. Stop
smoking . It can damage your blood vessels and increase your heart disease risk.
2. Eat a heart-healthy diet to lower your blood pressure and
cholesterol levels. When those are out of normal range, your chance for heart disease can rise. Eat mainly fruits and vegetables, whole grains, fish, lean meat, and fat-free or low-fat dairy. Limit salt, fat, and sugar.
3. Use stress-relieving measures like
meditation, deep breathing, or yoga to relax.
4. Exercise most days of the week.
5. See your doctor regularly.
