Chronic angina pain is a condition characterised by recurring chest discomfort caused by reduced blood flow to the heart muscles. It is often triggered by physical activity, stress, or underlying heart conditions and can significantly impact daily life.
Timely diagnosis and proper management are essential to prevent complications. Dr. Kavita Poply provides a personalised and patient-focused approach to managing chronic angina pain, helping patients improve comfort and overall quality of life.
What is Chronic Angina Pain?
Chronic angina refers to repeated episodes of chest pain or discomfort that occur when the heart muscle does not receive enough oxygen-rich blood. It is commonly associated with coronary artery disease.
The pain may feel like pressure, tightness, or squeezing in the chest and can sometimes spread to the shoulders, arms, neck, or jaw.
Causes of Chronic Angina
Chronic angina is usually caused by conditions that reduce blood flow to the heart, including:
- Coronary artery disease
- Narrowing or blockage of arteries
- High blood pressure
- High cholesterol levels
- Diabetes
- Smoking and unhealthy lifestyle
Managing these risk factors is key to controlling symptoms.
Symptoms of Chronic Angina
Common symptoms include:
- Chest pain or discomfort
- Pressure or tightness in the chest
- Pain radiating to arms, neck, jaw, or back
- Shortness of breath
- Fatigue
- Pain triggered by exertion or stress
If symptoms become severe or occur at rest, immediate medical attention is required.
