Hi welcome to HCM.
I understand your query and concern.
Your symptoms are suggestive of Ongoing Myocardial ischemia which needs coronary angioplasty with or without stenting as the main treatment of choice.This needs prior assessment of cardiac reserve through angiogram and following set of investigations.I advise you to have a baseline 2 dimensional echocardiography,ECG and lipid profile to assess the basic cardiac reserve of your heart.Restrict the intake of salt to less than 6g/day.Regular physical exercise in the form of brisk walk for 20 min a day for 5 days a week is pretty useful.Drugs like antihypertensives and antiarrhythmics will help.Reduce the intake of fatty and fried food.One pomegranate a day will help to keep your heart at good pace without clot formation. Overall prognosis is good for early intervention.Consult a Cardiologist for further expert management.Post your further queries if any.
Thank you.
