Control Angina Pain with Medications
Angina is a heart-related condition caused by reduced
flow of oxygenated blood to the heart itself. Stable angina,
the most common type, is brought on by the increased oxy
gen demand on the heart caused by exertion, such as climb
ing a flight of stairs, and typically lasts only a few minutes.
Unstable angina is a potential sign of a heart attack, which
may occur unexpectedly while a person is at rest. Medical
attention should be sought immediately when this occurs.
Sensations of pressure, squeezing, fullness, or pain in the
center of the chest are descriptive of the symptoms and dis
comfort associated with the the condition. Other symptoms
include dizziness, fatigue, and shortness of breath.
Mild angina pain may be controlled with lifestyle
changes, such as eating a healthy diet, starting an exercise
plan, and losing excess weight. Several medications are rec
ommended for the management of angina. Nuroglycerin
tablets may be place under the tongue to allow more blood
flow to the heart. Aspirin helps the blood flow through
arteries more easily by reducing the ability of the blood to
clot. Beta-blockers, calcium channel blockers, and
angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors also may
be prescribed. Ranolazine (Ranexa) is a newer medication
approved for the treatment of stable angina.
