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?
Talk about taking Nicorandil and Ranx 500 exactly as prescribed until your angiogram, but your doctor should confirm the exact duration. The angiogram dye can affect the kidneys, especially in patients with mild kidney disease, so your doctor may adjust the dose or take protective measures. Chest uneasiness, breathlessness, and tiredness can be signs of angina, so proceeding with the test under medical supervision is generally considered safe.
