Some people develop unstable angina after having stable angina.

Treatment for Angina
You may be given medicine to:
- treat attacks when they happen (only taken when needed)
- prevent further attacks

If medicines are not suitable or do not help, an operation to improve blood flow to your heart muscles may be recommended.

One of the most important things to ensure you can continue to live a normal life despite having angina is living a healthy lifestyle. For example:
- eating a healthy diet

- not smoking
- losing weight if you’re overweight
- exercising regularly (gentle exercises are usually safe but please consult a doctor beforehand)
This can help reduce your risk of heart attacks and strokes.
