Suggest Treatment For Angina Pain
Gd morning doctor, My mother is 86 years old. She has been getting chest pain (like angina pain) She was taken to a cardiologist who took all the tests relevant to heart who put it down to unstable angina. Gave sorbitrate to be taken if and when she gets the pain and also had advised us to take her to a Gastro enterologist. Subsequently we visited the Gastro who gave her bifilac and Rifagut 400 mg for one week. While taking these tablets she never got the pain. Tablets finished yesterday and this morning again she got the same type of pain. Can these tablets be repeated or what is your advise please

Hello,
Those are interesting medications. The bifilac not only can be used all the time but it is also obtainable without seeing the doctor online. It is a bunch of good bacteria that probably are neither living nor doing anything, but if it removes the pain it is also extremely safe.
The other is a strong antibiotic. It is not necessarily safe long term and there are a lot of causes of chest pain but if unstable angina was found on testing that is likely the cause, it is serious, it needs specific treatment if not an intervention surgically.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Matt Wachsman
