Get a ‘Myocardial perfusion scan’ or ideally ‘stress cardiac MRI’ before embarking on treatments.
All the best.

Need complete detailed history. May he it's due to Anxiety only.
I would suggest you to stop Telmikind 40 and start Amlodipine 5mg for hypertension only after your cardiologist prescription.
Amlodipine is useful if vasospasm component.

Microvascular angina (also called Cardiac Syndrome X or INOCA – Ischemia with Non-Obstructive Coronary Arteries) means:
• Angiography is normal
• Major arteries are open
• But small coronary vessels (microcirculation) do not dilate properly
This causes:
• Chest pain
• Tightness
• Effort intolerance
Even though lipid profile and angiogram are normal.
Since you are already on Telmikind 40 (Telmisartan) for hypertension, BP control is good — which is important.
Microvascular angina is real, but it is usually not life-threatening like obstructive coronary disease. It requires symptom control and endothelial improvement.
Next Steps
Treatment depends on symptom pattern, but commonly used medications are:
First Line
✔ Beta blockers
• Metoprolol 25–50 mg daily
OR
• Bisoprolol 2.5–5 mg daily
(They reduce heart rate and oxygen demand — often very effective)
⸻
Alternative / Add-on
✔ Calcium channel blockers
• Diltiazem
• Amlodipine
Helpful if vasospasm component exists.
⸻
For Persistent Symptoms
✔ Ranolazine
• 500 mg twice daily
Very useful in microvascular angina.
✔ Long acting nitrates
Sometimes helpful but not always effective in microvascular cases.
⸻
Important Additions (even if lipids normal)
✔ Statin (low dose)
Improves endothelial function even with normal cholesterol.
✔ Continue ARB (Telmisartan)
Improves vascular function.
Health Tips
• Strict BP control (

Microvascular angina occurs despite normal angiography. Treatment usually includes beta-blockers, calcium channel blockers, nitrates, or ranolazine depending on symptoms and BP.
Next Steps
Since you have HTN and are on Telmikind 40, medicine choice must be individualized. Please consult me with your BP readings and symptom details for proper guidance.

Dear Patient,
Microvascular angina occurs when the small blood vessels of the heart do not function properly despite normal major arteries on angiography. It is a real condition and commonly associated with hypertension, stress, endothelial dysfunction, or metabolic factors. Your normal angiography and lipid profile are reassuring.
Treatment options (to be decided in person)
• Continue blood pressure control — Telmikind (telmisartan) is appropriate
• Beta blockers (like metoprolol or nebivolol) are often first-line to reduce heart workload
• Calcium channel blockers (like diltiazem or amlodipine) may help vessel relaxation
• Long-acting nitrates or Nicorandil may reduce chest pain episodes
• Ranolazine is commonly used specifically for microvascular angina symptoms
• Statins may be advised even if cholesterol is normal for vascular protection
• Low-dose aspirin may be considered depending on risk profile
Lifestyle measures (very important)
• Regular walking or aerobic exercise 30 minutes daily
• Stress reduction (yoga, breathing exercises, meditation)
• Maintain healthy weight and avoid smoking/passive smoke
• Good sleep and control of BP, sugar, and thyroid if applicable
When to seek urgent care
• Chest pain lasting more than 10–15 minutes
• Pain with sweating, breathlessness, or radiation to arm/jaw
• New or worsening symptoms
Microvascular angina is manageable, and many patients improve significantly with proper medication adjustment and lifestyle control.
For further guidance and personalized treatment you can consult or message me on Practo anytime.
