Treatment for Chest Pain

If the chest pain is sudden, severe, or accompanied by symptoms like shortness of breath, sweating, or fainting, emergency medical care is required. Initial treatment in such cases often includes giving oxygen, aspirin to reduce clotting, and nitroglycerin to improve blood flow to the heart.
When chest pain is related to heart problems such as angina or heart attacks, medications like beta-blockers to reduce heart workload, statins to control cholesterol, and blood thinners to prevent clot formation are commonly prescribed as part of ongoing treatment.
If the source of chest pain is gastrointestinal, such as acid reflux or ulcers, doctors may recommend antacids, H2 blockers, or proton pump inhibitors to reduce stomach acid and ease the discomfort.

In patients with narrowed or blocked arteries, chest pain may require interventional procedures like angioplasty or the placement of a stent. These procedures help open up blocked vessels and restore proper blood flow to the heart muscle.
Lifestyle modifications play a vital role in preventing and managing chest pain. These include quitting smoking, reducing salt and fat intake, managing stress, getting regular physical activity, and maintaining a healthy weight.
Continued follow-up with your doctor, regular heart check-ups including ECG, echocardiography, and blood tests are essential. These help monitor treatment effectiveness and reduce the risk of future heart-related issues.
