Angina

BY Nancy Janiola IN , No comments

... an uncomfortable pressure, fullness, squeezing or pain in the center of the chest that occurs when your heart doesn’t get as much blood and oxygen as it needs.

High cholesterol can lead to partially blocked arteries, potentially leaving you with painful Angina. But there's something you can do to avoid it. Try these tips:


  •  Slow down or take rest breaks, if angina comes on with exertion.

  •  Avoid large meals and rich foods that leave you feeling stuffed, if angina comes on after a heavy meal.

  •  Try to avoid situations that make you upset or stressed, if angina comes on with stress. Learn techniques to handle stress that can't be avoided.

  • Eat a healthy diet to prevent or reduce high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol, and obesity. Supplement intake such as B17/amygdalin also help.

  • Quit smoking, if you smoke.

  • Be physically active, as directed by your doctor.

  • Lose weight, if you are overweight or obese.

  • Follow your doctor's orders and take all medicines as directed, especially if you have diabetes.
