I feel uneasiness in my chest when walking or climbing stairs, sometimes with breathlessness. My doctor suggested an angiogram test and prescribed Nicorandil and Ranx 500 tablets until the test. How long should I take these tablets? Will the dye used in the angiogram affect my kidneys, given my mild kidney problem? Is it safe to proceed with the angiogram? I also sometimes feel tired. Could this be related to angina?
