Treatments for Coronary Artery Spasms

[HeIsAddison]

Hi,

I just have a quick question. What are all the types of treatment are available for coronary artery spasms? I am very young, 22 years old, and was diagnosed very recently.. they at first thought I had anxiety... It ***** because I was very athletic and stupidly abused stimulants some years ago... but I am still very much health oriented and I'm concerned that my condition will prevent me from exercise.

I have had 3 heart attacks and 3 stents in RCA.  I continued to have angina.  I had alot of episodes that would wake me out of a dead sleep.  I was put on Norvasc (calcium channel blocker) in additon to Lopressor and Altace.  Haven't had any spasms lately. Hope you feel better.

One of our family members had an artery spasming causing such pain she was taken by ambulance three times to ER.  They finally put two stents in the artery side by side to hold the artery open, so that it would not spasm.  She was 30 percent blocked.  Sometimes the blockage causes the spasming, but usually not until the artery is about 70 percent blocked.  In some people, the artery will spasm with a little blockage.  Her symptoms was shaking in the back and severe chest pain and pressure.
