No.

But stressful situations may constrict your blood vessels, which leads to high blood pressure.

And when you suffer from ischemia on first place, it can be dangerous.

No. As I replied earlier you need to discuss it with your cardiologist. You need to try and stop worrying as it solves nothing!

Cardiologist did my ETT. That became positive. He told i have micro vascular angina. He give me medicine for 6 weeks. I told my all situation that i can not walk , eat or take bath. He give me medicine.

He said your blockage is 50 percent. May be it is not bear able for u, so may be you need stent.

I m taking medicines from 2 day. But my condition is so down. I m on bed. Feel flaming in heart arteries. Presure on heart. Doctors dont admit me. Do i need to go for stent. What i do.

There is treatment for Microvascular angina. It is with medication. Lifestyle changes such as no smoking, heart healthy diet and maintaining a healthy weight.

Stress and anxiety management and a gradual increase in exercise.

Perhaps try Tai Chi or yoga ?

See my previous post to you with links to BHF information about Microvascular angina
