This is when one of the coronary arteries is temporarily narrowed or becomes constricted stopping the blood flow to the heart and when severe can cause a heart attack.
You asked the same question to this forum five months ago - the advice then was to go see your doctor or your heart specialist. No one here can advice you on medication to take. Hope you find your answers soon
Just a thought some of us on the forum live with poorly recognised and understood types of angina.
Microvascular and vasospastic angina.
As a group we quite often encounter Cardiologists who have no knowledge of the conditions and how they should be managed and treated.
Sometimes it can be the patient with the expertise by a lived experience of their condition who can be the ' expert in the room' not just the clinician.
I take it you are doing your upmost to be provocative with me? Because of the content of the post I did review the previous ones and noticed that they had asked the identical question some time ago and having read the answers, pointed out the best way to obtain the answers they required. To my untrained eye, I did not think they were asking for a medical prognosis rather the answers to two questions. If you see something different in the post, thats entirely up to you, however I do think you are overstepping the mark making such sweeping judgemental medical comments to, what was, a very specific enquiry where common sense should prevail and then going on to talk down to me in a rather patronising manner. If you disagree please make your further comments to the administrators, who can advise us both on medical advice
It describes the condition and the possible treatment.
Are you still having chest pain?
If so you do need to talk to your GP and Cardiologist?
It can take sometime for your Cardiologist to find the best combination of medications to treat your vasospastic angina best.
I have lived with microvascular and vasospastic angina for 7 years.
I have coronary artery spasms which showed up during my angiogram and I have certain changes on my ECG called a ST elevation when I have chest pain.
It can be very frightening as the angina episodes can last for much longer and be more intense than usual angina.
I suggest you read through the information I sent you printout a copy and go and discuss your concerns with your GP and Cardiologist.
I hope I have been able to answer your question.
When you say you have not had a satisfactory answer in the five months between asking this group the question, then I feel we need to confirm the questions you have asked and have asked them in a way that has no ambiguity for either of us..
1 - What produces the protein particles that collect inside an artery that causes the constriction and resulting blockage that eventually requires a stent to open them up again?
2 - What medication is available to avoid the production of the protein blocking the artery again? Does the medication stop the protein blocking the artery again?
I am sorry to have to say that both of these answers DO NEED A MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL TO ANSWER AND ADVISE YOU and although there is very good willed advice here, we are all patients here and only have our own experiences to guide us in our own heart problems where it would be inappropriate for anyone to advise on medication or any other medical matter that can be as personal to another person as a tailored three piece suit. GO VISIT YOUR DOCTOR WHO CAN DIRECT YOU TO THE APPROPRIATE PERSON - good luck
