Recommended Action

The person should immediately attempt to relax both mentally and physically. This will helpput an end to the pain as the relaxed heart muscle will cause the blood vessels to dilate(open), decreasing the need for oxygen while increasing the heart’s ability to pump bloodand deliver oxygen. Adopting a diet low in sodium and high in potassium and adding freshfruits and vegetables to the diet are essential for long-term relief. Muscle tone and bloodvessel flexibility are improved through the use of vitamin E and lecithin, while the entirecirculatory system is strengthened by the use of Vitamin C and natural B complex vitamins.Potassium is absolutely essential to proper heart function. Garlic is effective both as an anti-atherosclerotic, preventing build up of deposits on the artery wall, and as a vasodilator byopening the blood vessels. It should be noted that many apparent angina or heart attacksare really gas attacks. The pressure of gas in the intestine can be strong enough to causepain in the chest. Single Herbs: Lobelia Extract (relaxant); Elderberry Extract (potassium); Hawthorn Berrytincture (heart food and strengthener); Reishi, Cayenne or Cayenne Extract, Ginger(circulatory tonic and anti-arteriosclerotic); Garlic, Kelp. Combinations: NervaHerb (sedative, pain reliever), CleansaHerb (cleanse blood to preventrecurrence), Reishi Extract.

This condition, which can feel similar to a heart attack, lasts only a few minutes. It ischaracterized by chest pains that may be felt as a mild tightness or pressure, or may be soextreme as to produce intense aching. Sometimes pain radiates from the chest to theshoulder and down the left arm. These pains are a result of the heart tissue not receivingenough oxygen (due to a diminished blood supply from the coronary arteries) and are oftenquickly relieved by rest. This is known as myocardial ischemia and is generally caused byarteriosclerosis of the coronary arteries. (Refer to section on Arteriosclerosis) For a first-timesufferer, the distinct resemblance to a heart attack will generally result in great anxiety.Once aware of the condition, the individual can easily deal with it, lessening the overallanxiety experienced.
