Best Doctors for Angina Treatment in Khairatabad, Hyderabad

Angina is a medical terminology that describes chest pain. Angina can be of many types, which is generally caused by the blockage of arteries in the heart due to deposits of plaque, which in turn reduces the flow of blood to the arteries of the heart. Angina can occur during rest or even on minimal exertion. Sometimes, angina may also occur due to spasms in the arteries of the heart, which can mimic angina. The most common symptoms of angina include a burning sensation in the chest, tightness over the chest, nausea, and fatigue. In some cases, angina may also present as jaw pain, which is not taken seriously. Investigations that might be prescribed by the cardiologist to detect angina may include ECG, 2d echocardiogram, and blood investigations like Trop -T and fasting lipid profile. Treatment includes administration of I.V. NTG, antiplatelets, and statins. A hospitalization for 24 - 48 hours would be advised, followed by a coronary angiogram and intervention if needed.
