Changes in St Depression , indigestion or angina?

by tattybear, Nov 06, 2009 03:19AM
Hi, Im 43 and recently went for a treadmill test as i experience throat tightening upon excertion. the result showed significant changes in my st depression and im due to go for an angiogram in december. the cardiologist has put me on tablets and aspirin and given me a spray to relieve symptoms. my gp tells me i am at risk of heart attack. could they have this wrong? i am diet controlled diabetic, mum had angina and died at 69 when arteries were so blocked around heart and her lungs filled with fluid; dad has mild angina. i am currently suffering with indigestion but i do actually burp with it so does this mean its not connected....any advise would be appreciated

There is evidence that you may have occluded vessels, that includes st depression and the  nitro spray relaxes the coronary vessels and improves blood flow to areas that have partial blockage.    

Sometimes there is a connnection with the cardiovascular system  and digestion as digestion requires good blood/oxygen flow to aid digestion.  And that increase for digestion may take away blood needed in other areas and causes a deficit at that site and also there may be less blood/oxygen for good digestion.
