Treatment Options For Angina Pectoris

Get Regular Exercise

While exercise sessions can trigger angina, it is important for patients with the condition to continue exercising regularly for their overall health. Regular exercise can help angina pectoris patients have greater mobility and a higher quality of life. Before beginning an exercise regimen, patients should have a physical examination to ensure their heart is healthy enough to tolerate activity. Patients may wish to attend special exercise classes for individuals with cardiac conditions. Doctors can recommend safe levels of exercise intensity. Patients may also consider having a personal trainer supervise them during their exercise sessions. Gentle exercises such as restorative yoga, tai chi, walking, and swimming can all benefit angina pectoris patients. While exercising, patients should perform each movement slowly and carefully, and they may need to take a break between repetitions. Exercise should be stopped immediately if patients experience any discomfort or pain.
