Namaste Draupadi ji,

Thank you for reaching out. We understand that you're experiencing typical angina pain, and we're here to help you find the right treatment and support under the ABHA (Ayushman Bharat Health Account) card.

What is Typical Angina?

Angina is chest pain or discomfort caused when your heart doesn't get enough oxygen-rich blood. At the age of 70, it's very important to take chest pain seriously, especially if it's:

• Triggered by walking or exertion

• Relieved by rest

• Accompanied by fatigue, breathlessness, or heaviness in the chest

This could be a sign of coronary artery disease (CAD), which needs prompt evaluation and treatment.

Treatment Options for Angina

Your treatment will depend on the results of diagnostic tests like ECG, 2D Echo, TMT, or angiography. Based on that, doctors may suggest:

1. Medication Management

• Blood thinners, nitrates, and cholesterol-lowering drugs

2. Angioplasty (with stent placement)

A minimally invasive procedure to open blocked arteries, often done under Ayushman Bharat (PMJAY) scheme at empanelled hospitals.

3. Bypass Surgery (in more severe cases)

Performed if multiple blockages are present or angioplasty isn’t suitable.

Dear Vivek ji,

Aapka sawal hai ki angiography ke baad bypass surgery hoti hai ya nahi. Chaliye aapko simple tarike se samjhaate hain.

Angiography Aur Bypass Surgery Ka Sambandh

• Angiography ek diagnostic test hai jisme heart ke blood vessels (nasson) mein blockage ka pata chalta hai.

• Agar angiography mein dikhaye gaya blockage zyada severe (70% ya usse zyada) ho, aur multiple arteries affected ho, to bypass surgery recommend ki ja sakti hai.

• Har case mein bypass zaroori nahi hota – kuch logon ka angioplasty (stent dalna) ya sirf medicines se bhi treatment ho sakta hai.

Aapko Kya Karna Chahiye

• Angiography report doctor ko dikhakar poora evaluation karayein.

• Bypass ya stent dono ke pros & cons samjhein.

• Agar patient ko chest pain, breathlessness, ya diabetes hai, to early treatment lena zaroori hai.
