My name is Jamie Turner and when I turned 22, I started to form a horrible case of acne. I used every cleanser and lotion I could find and I even asked my physician for a topical steroid cream to clear up the zits on my face. After six months of treatment, my physician completed a blood test that concluded that a hormone imbalance was causing my acne. I started on therapy to control the amount of estrogen my body produced. The therapy along with a good diet and exercise regimen helped to clear up my acne. I am sharing my story, because acne is not just a condition that affects teenagers. It can affect adults at any age, and it can cause a great deal of embarrassment. Don't let your acne go untreated. Read my blog instead and learn about both natural and medical treatments that can help you.
Angina is a condition that causes chest pain due to narrowing in the heart's blood vessels. Angina can be either stable or unstable, with stable angina being more predictable because it typically occurs with exertion. There are several angina treatment options before surgery may be necessary.
Reduce Cardiac Stress
Many lifestyle variables can be responsible for increasing stress on your heart. Your doctors will encourage you to work on common lifestyle factors, such as being overweight, smoking, a sedentary lifestyle, and stress Your doctor will guide you on the types of exercises you can tolerate, depending on the extent of your heart problems. The goal of exercise, especially cardio, is to strengthen your heart. A stronger heart has to beat less often and less forcefully to move blood throughout the body, thereby reducing the workload on the heart. Another consideration to reduce work on the heart is controlling blood pressure. Your doctor will likely prescribe medications if your blood pressure is high.
Widen And Relax Blood Vessels
Chest pain associated with angina is caused by the heart struggling to push blood through the blood vessels. This can be due to stenosis (narrowing) of the blood vessels. There are several medications that can be used to widen and relax the blood vessels. For example, nitrates allow more blood to go through blood vessels because the vessels dilate. This is often why nitroglycerin is sprayed under the tongue during a suspected heart attack. When blood can more easily go through the blood vessels, there is a lower risk of heart attack and damage to heart muscle. Some blood pressure medications also work well for relaxing the blood vessels.
Prevent Blood Clots
Angina is generally caused by plaque formation in the blood vessels. When blood slows to pass through the narrow opening, there can also be an increased risk of clot formation. To minimize the chance of blood clots developing, which can cause a heart attack or stroke, your doctor may recommend anticoagulants. Depending on the extent of the problem and how much risk you have of blood clot formation, a daily, small-dose aspirin may be enough to reduce your risk. For some people, taking prescription anticoagulants is necessary. Taking prescription medications to reduce blood clots can be challenging because there must be a balance achieved between making blood flow easier and not causing unpredictable, potentially life-threatening bleeding.
Angina may be a sign that a heart attack could occur. To reduce your risk of a heart attack or other acute vascular problems, your doctor will recommend a treatment plan. In addition to reducing your risk of severe problems, treatment can reduce the instances of chest pain.
