Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I've been feeling uncomfortable in my heart. Although I often take medication to control it, the effect is not obvious. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they also prescribed medication. How can I determine if it's angina?Doctor's answer:
For further confirmation of angina, it is recommended to hospitalize the patient for additional careful examinations such as echocardiography, coronary angiography, and radionuclide scans to further clarify the cause and provide targeted additional treatment. When a patient with angina experiences a recurrence, they should immediately rest locally, take nitroglycerin and isosorbide dinitrate sublingually, which can effectively relieve chest pain and reduce cardiac load. Additionally, in daily life, it is important to avoid triggers that can cause angina, such as overeating, cold, and emotional stress.
