HOMOEOPATHIC REMEDIES FOR ANGINA PECTORIS:

ANGINA PECTORIS:

- Angina is a term used for chest pain caused by reduced blood flow to the heart muscle.

- Angina  is a symptom of coronary artery disease.

- Angina is typically described as squeezing, pressure, heaviness, tightness or pain in your chest.

- Angina, also called angina pectoris, can be a recurring problem or a sudden, acute health concern.

- Angina is relatively common but can be hard to distinguish from other types of chest pain, such as the pain or discomfort of indigestion. If you have unexplained chest pain, seek medical attention right away.

Causes-

- Angina is caused by reduced blood flow to your heart muscle. Your blood carries oxygen, which your heart muscle needs to survive. When your heart muscle isn't getting enough oxygen, it causes a condition called ischemia.

- The most common cause of reduced blood flow to your heart muscle is coronary artery disease (CAD). Your heart (coronary) arteries can become narrowed by deposits called plaques. This is called atherosclerosis.

- This reduced blood flow is a supply problem — your heart is not getting enough oxygen-rich blood. You may wonder why you don't always have angina if your heart arteries are narrowed due to fatty buildup.

- This is because during times of low oxygen demand — when you're resting, for example — your heart muscle may be able to get by on the reduced amount of blood flow without triggering angina symptoms. But when you increase the demand for oxygen, such as when you exercise, this can cause angina.

Types:

Stable angina:

- Stable angina is usually triggered by physical exertion. When you climb stairs, exercise or walk, your heart demands more blood, but it's harder for the muscle to get enough blood when your arteries are narrowed.

- Besides physical activity, other factors, such as emotional stress, cold temperatures, heavy meals and smoking, also can narrow arteries and trigger angina.

Unstable angina:

- If fat-containing deposits (plaques) in a blood vessel rupture and a blood clot forms, it can quickly block or reduce flow through a narrowed artery, suddenly and severely decreasing blood flow to your heart muscle. Unstable angina can also be caused by blood clots that block or partially block your heart's blood vessels.

- Unstable angina worsens and is not relieved by rest or your usual medications. If the blood flow doesn't improve, heart muscle deprived of oxygen dies — a heart attack. 

- Unstable angina is dangerous and requires emergency treatment.

Variant angina:

- Variant angina, also called Prinzmetal's angina, is caused by a spasm in a coronary artery in which the artery temporarily narrows. 

- This narrowing reduces blood flow to your heart, causing chest pain. 

- Variant angina can occur even when you're at rest, and is often severe. It can be relieved with medications

Symptoms:

Symptoms associated with angina include:

- Chest pain or discomfort

- Pain in your arms, neck, jaw, shoulder or back accompanying chest pain

- Nausea

- Fatigue

- Shortness of breath

- Sweating

- Dizziness

Risk factors:

The following risk factors increase your risk of coronary artery disease and angina:

- High blood cholesterol or triglyceride levels

- History of heart disease

- Older age, Men older than 45 and women older than 55 have a greater risk than do younger adults.

Complications:

- The chest pain that can occur with angina can make some normal activities, such as walking, uncomfortable. However, the most dangerous complication to be concerned about with angina is a heart attack.

HOMOEOPATHY AND VARICOSE VEIN

HOMOEOPATHIC REMEDIES FOR VARICOSE VEINS:

- Varicose veins, also known as varicoses or varicosities, occur when your veins become enlarged, dilated, and overfilled with blood.

- Varicose veins typically appear swollen and raised, and have a bluish-purple or red color.

- They are often painful.

- The condition is very common, especially in women and policemen.

- In most cases, varicose veins appear on the lower legs.

Causes: 

- Causes of varicose veins can include:

Age:

- As you get older, your veins can lose elasticity, causing them to stretch.

- The valves in your veins may become weak, allowing blood that should be moving toward your heart to flow backward.

- Blood pools in your veins and your veins enlarge and become varicose.

- The veins appear blue because they contain deoxygenated blood, which is in the process of being re-circulated through the lungs.

Pregnancy:

- Some pregnant women develop varicose veins.

- Pregnancy increases the volume of blood in your body, but decreases the flow of blood from your legs to your pelvis.

- This circulatory change is designed to support the growing fetus, but it can produce an unfortunate side effect — enlarged veins in your legs.

- Varicose veins may surface for the first time or may worsen during late pregnancy, when your uterus exerts greater pressure on the veins in your legs.

- Varicose veins that develop during pregnancy generally improve without medical treatment three to 12 months after delivery.

Symptoms:

- Varicose veins may not cause any pain.

Signs:

You may have with varicose veins include:

- Veins that are dark purple or blue in color.

- Veins that appear twisted and bulging; often like cords on your legs.

When painful signs and symptoms occur, they may include:

- An achy or heavy feeling in your legs

- Burning, throbbing, muscle cramping and swelling in your lower legs

- Worsened pain after sitting or standing for a long time

- Itching around one or more of your veins

- Bleeding from varicose veins

- A painful cord in the vein with red discoloration of the skin

- Color changes, hardening of the vein, inflammation of the skin or skin ulcers near your ankle, which can mean you have a serious form of vascular disease that requires medical attention

Risk factors-

Age:

- The risk of varicose veins increases with age.

- Aging causes wear and tear on the valves in your veins that help regulate blood flow.

- Eventually, that wear causes the valves to allow some blood to flow back into your veins where it collects instead of flowing up to your heart.

Sex:

- Women are more likely to develop the condition.

- Hormonal changes during pregnancy, pre-menstruation or menopause may be a factor because female hormones tend to relax vein walls.

- Taking hormone replacement therapy or birth control pills may increase your risk of varicose veins.

Family history:

- If other family members had varicose veins, there's a greater chance you will too.

Obesity:

- Being overweight puts added pressure on your veins.

- Standing or sitting for long periods of time.

- Your blood doesn't flow as well if you're in the same position for long periods

Complications-

Ulcers:

- Extremely painful ulcers may form on the skin near varicose veins, particularly near the ankles.

- Ulcers are caused by long-term fluid buildup in these tissues, caused by increased pressure of blood within affected veins.

- A discolored spot on the skin usually begins before an ulcer forms.

Bleeding:

- Occasionally, veins very close to the skin may burst.

- This usually causes only minor bleeding. But, any bleeding warrants medical attention because there's a high risk it can happen again.

Blood clots:

- Occasionally, veins deep within the legs become enlarged.

- In such cases, the affected leg may swell considerably.

- Any sudden leg swelling warrants urgent medical attention because it may indicate a blood clot — a condition known medically as thrombophlebitis.
