Patient's question:
I have angina. Sometimes, when the pain comes on, I feel completely exhausted and unable to work for the whole day, having to lie in bed. It also hurts at night, making it difficult to sleep through the night. I have taken medication before and am currently taking it as well, but it hasn't been very effective. Could you please tell me how to treat angina?Doctor's answer:
With the multiple symptoms of this patient, we must first confirm whether it is angina. Angina is most common in middle-aged and elderly patients, while it is relatively rare in young people. For angina, most episodes last 3 to 5 minutes, and it rarely recurs all day. Therefore, it is recommended that the patient go to the hospital to clearly diagnose the cause of chest pain. Young patients who frequently experience heart conditions, such as myocarditis, rheumatic heart disease, or congenital diseases, must be clearly diagnosed.
