Suggest Treatment For Prinzmetals Angina
Question: my daughter has been diagnosed with prinzmetals angina. how serious is this?
Brief Answer:
Depends on the frequency of the episodes
Detailed Answer:
Dear Mrs,
Prinzmetals angina is a disease, when there are episodes of spasm of arteries which supply blood to heart muscle. During these episodes heart muscle doesn't receive adequate quantity of blood, which can lead to chest pain and even to arrhythmias if it is prolonged.
Severity depends on the frequency of the episodes and how long they last.
Usually episodes disappear on medical treatment.
In this case the prognosis is favorable.
So, don't worry, just wait for some time, while she receives the treatment.
And you should know that smoking and alcohol are contraindicated to her.
Hope I could help you
Wishing a good health to your daughter
