TextD
Last year my father was ill with angina pectoris. He suffered from constant attacks of chest pain. He was admitted to the in-patient department.
After he had undergone all the necessary laboratory examinations and several electrocardiograms had been taken both during the attack of chest pain and at the time when the chest pain was relieved the cardiologist administered him an adequate treatment.
To relieve a sharp pain in very severe attacks my father was given the injections of 1% omnopon solution. It was given in combination with 0.5 ml of a 0.1% atropine solution.
If the attacks were mild or moderate he took nitroglyc-erin in an adequate dose of 3 drops-. Nitroglycerin was dropped on some sugar which my father put under the tongue. My father said that nitroglycerin relieved the pain immediately and a moderate attack or a mild one was controlled within 3 or 5 minutes. The cardiologist explained that nitroglycerin relieved the spasm of 'coronary arteries which caused chest pain.
My father stayed in the hospital for about two weeks. Now he is followed- up at the out-patient department. His condition has considerably improved. The last electrocardiogram readings were neither diminished nor deviated.
