Can intermittent claudication is easily treatable ?

Dear Abdul Ji,

Aapke left side chest me dard gas ki wajah se ho sakta hai, lekin agar gas ki dawai lene ke baad dard sirf temporary thik hota hai aur phir se wapas aata hai, toh isse ignore karna theek nahi hai. Chest pain kabhi-kabhi heart ya lungs se judi problem ka bhi sanket ho sakta hai.

Aapko kya karna chahiye

1. Symptoms ko closely observe karein

   • Kya dard ke saath sans lene me dikkat, paseena, ya thakaan hoti hai?
   • Kya dard khaane ke baad ya kuch specific activity ke baad badhta hai?
     
     

2. Doctor se consult karein

   • EKG (Electrocardiogram), chest X-ray, ya blood tests ki zarurat ho sakti hai heart ya lungs ki problem rule out karne ke liye.
   • Agar ye sirf gas ya acidity ki wajah se hai, toh lifestyle aur diet changes recommend kiye jaa sakte hain.
     
     

3. Lifestyle changes

   • Spicy aur oily food avoid karein.
   • Chhoti-chhoti meals lein aur heavy meals avoid karein.
   • Stress aur alcohol consumption kam karein.

Hello Jeyasingh Ji,

Thank you for your question. A positive TMT (Treadmill Test) indicates that there may have been reduced blood flow to the heart during the stress test. However, a normal angiogram suggests no significant blockages in the coronary arteries. It is important to note that coronary angiogram is considered the gold standard for detecting blockages in the coronary arteries. This discrepancy can occur due to several reasons:

Possible Reasons:

1. Microvascular Angina: Small blood vessels in the heart may be affected and may not show up on a standard angiogram.
2. False Positive TMT: Factors like anxiety, technical errors, or certain medications can lead to a positive TMT result even without significant blockages.
3. Coronary Spasm: Temporary narrowing of coronary arteries due to spasms can cause TMT changes.
4. Other Conditions: Issues like anaemia or electrolyte imbalance may mimic ischemic changes.

Next Steps:

1. Further Tests: A repeat TMT or a stress echocardiogram can help evaluate your heart function under stress conditions.
2. Lifestyle Management: Focus on a heart-healthy diet, regular exercise, and stress management.
3. Follow-Up: Regular check-ups with a cardiologist to monitor your heart health.

Request for Additional Information:

To provide better guidance, could you share:

• Any symptoms during the TMT (e.g., chest pain, breathlessness)?
• Medical history (e.g., diabetes, hypertension)?
• Any medications or family history of heart disease?
