Importance of Medical Follow-Up

• Consult a cardiologist promptly to assess symptoms and adjust treatment.

Symptom Management and Emergency Care

• Manage pain and seek immediate care for worsening chest pain, shortness of breath, or sweating.

Relevant Medical Specialties

• Cardiology for heart evaluation; gastroenterology or pulmonology for non-cardiac issues.

Treatment Options
