Angina pectoris disease (often called " Angina pectoris is currently the leading symptom of coronary artery disease (CHD) associated with vasoconstriction or blockage.. The subjective sensations of patients with angina pectoris are very diverse, but several common signs can be distinguished, in particular: pressing pain in the chest, radiating to other parts of the body. As a rule, an attack of angina pectoris lasts no more than 5 minutes and goes away immediately after the person takes the appropriate medications or simply rests.

Currently, it is customary to distinguish two forms of the disease.. Stable angina is characterized by regular attacks over the years. In most cases, it occurs due to the same physical activity, and stops immediately after they are eliminated. In turn, unstable angina pectoris does not differ in the regularity of attacks, but this form is more dangerous, since the symptoms of the disease are more pronounced and often lead to death.. We also note that for both stable and unstable angina pectoris, the following features are characteristic that allow an accurate diagnosis:.

pain manifests itself in the form of attacks, that is, they have a more or less pronounced time of onset and termination;

unpleasant sensations almost always occur under the same circumstances. For example, stable angina follows certain physical activity;

pain decreases or subsides completely after taking nitroglycerin.

The provoking factors of seizures are: physical activity, walking, emotional stress. Moreover, the stronger the physical effort or stress, the more pronounced angina pectoris (symptoms, respectively, subside as the intensity of the load decreases). In principle, the above three features and a medical history (angina pectoris requires constant monitoring by a specialist) provide all the initial data for making an accurate clinical diagnosis, which is necessary when choosing the correct treatment method.

Angina pectoris - symptoms and clinical picture In the last section of our article, we listed the main signs of angina pectoris. In most cases, these manifestations will be quite enough.. We can only add that ischemic heart disease (angina pectoris is a constant companion of coronary artery disease) also manifests itself:.

increased blood pressure;

pallor of the skin;

sweat;

fluctuations in heart rate;

unreasonable feelings of fear and emotional distress.

However, the absence of these symptoms does not mean the absence of angina pectoris, therefore, the main role in the diagnosis of the disease still belongs to the doctor, who must make a balanced, informed decision based on the examination of the patient and the clinical picture of the disease..

Another important point: in recent years, people with heart disease have been increasingly diagnosed with so-called rest angina.. If angina pectoris is characterized by pain after physical exertion, then a calm form occurs regardless of the intensity of a person's efforts and, as a rule, manifests itself at night. At the same time, the symptoms coincide with the signs of angina pectoris, that is, the person feels suffocation and lack of air.

Finally, a few words about the attacks of the disease. Angina, which is not properly treated, contributes to the development of myocardial infarction. Therefore, if an attack of angina pectoris lasts more than 15 minutes, the patient needs to undergo an urgent electrocardiographic examination.. It is best to do this in the hours following the attack, as unstable angina is rapidly progressing and can be fatal. In order to provide the patient with proper care and timely diagnostic procedures, it is desirable to be admitted to a specialized clinic..

Angina pectoris - treatment with traditional methods The outcome of an attack largely depends on the correctness of the actions of the sick person. Both stable and unstable angina pectoris are manifested by severe pain in the chest region, so the first thing the patient should do is calm down and take a comfortable posture.. Sitting position is ideal. Next, you should definitely take nitroglycerin under the tongue (1 tablet or a couple of drops of 1% solution). In people with a diagnosis of angina pectoris, the symptoms are of unequal intensity, so it is possible that with severe pain you will have to take the drug again. Along with nitroglycerin, patients are also shown Corvalol (30-40 drops inside). During seizures, patients often have an increase in blood pressure, but you should not pay too much attention to this point, because after the pain stops, the pressure returns to normal. It should be noted that at this point in time angina is not completely cured in any clinic in the world.. Accordingly, the patient should be regularly observed by a specialist and take all necessary preventive measures in order to avoid serious consequences of the disease, in particular myocardial infarction..

Angina pectoris - treatment with folk remedies If you are diagnosed with angina pectoris, it is better to start alternative treatment after several courses of therapeutic fasting (7 days - restriction in food intake, then a seven-day recovery). If it is impossible to completely refuse food, adhere to at least partial fasting, that is, limit the standard diet, eating nuts, roots, fruits and vegetables. As for directly folk recipes, below we want to give the most famous of them:.

mix in equal proportions the herb of adonis and the three-leaf watch, pour the mixture with boiling water at the rate of 1 liter of water per 100 g of grass and leave for 3 weeks in a dry, dark place. The infusion is consumed 3 times a day 30 minutes before meals.. Standard dosage is 20 drops;

take dried apricots, raisins, walnut kernels and prunes, add lemon gruel without peel and honey to them (for 1 kg of the mixture - 1 lemon and 300 gr. honey). Take the resulting mixture as a preventive measure 3 times a day, 1 tablespoon;

if you are diagnosed with angina pectoris, treatment with folk remedies can be carried out using hawthorn. Both decoctions and tinctures are prepared from it.. In the first case, dry hawthorn flowers are poured with a glass of boiling water and boiled for 5-7 minutes.
