Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Stress related angina needs proper control of stress.
In this condition there is no heart or coronary damage.
But stress causes sudden coronary spasm and this gives chest pain.
So proper management of stress is the only thing needed in your case.
In my opinion, you should consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions.
Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on it's solution.
You may need additional anxiolytic drugs.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
Avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
