Krishna Sharma, a 58-year-old accountant from...
Krishna Sharma, a 58-year-old accountant from a close-knit family, had always been the picture of health, adhering to a vegetarian diet and daily walks. Over three months, he began experiencing a tight, squeezing pressure in his chest during his evening walks, which he initially dismissed as indigestion. The discomfort, which radiated to his left arm and jaw, became more frequent and was triggered by even mild stress at work. His wife insisted he see a doctor. After an abnormal stress test, his cardiologist, Dr. Kapoor, diagnosed him with stable angina pectoris due to coronary artery disease. Dr. Kapoor recommended starting with intensive medical management, nitrates, beta-blockers, and statins, alongside significant lifestyle changes. Krishna was terrified; he feared becoming a burden and missing his daughter's upcoming wedding. The initial weeks on medication were challenging, with side effects like fatigue, but the chest pain subsided. After three months of dedicated cardiac rehab, which included supervised exercise and dietary counseling, Krishna regained his confidence. He can now walk without pain and feels emotionally lighter, having transformed his fear into motivation. He feels grateful for the warning and is committed to his new heart-healthy lifestyle, enjoying a renewed sense of vitality with his family.
