Yes, there is an effective way to treat Angina. The most common treatment for angina is lifestyle modifications such as healthy eating habits, regular exercise and avoiding activities that might cause chest pain.

Medication can also be used to help control the symptoms of angina and reduce the risk of future heart problems. These medications may include nitrates ("nitroglycerin"), beta-blockers, ACE inhibitors or calcium channel blockers. Some people may find relief from their Angina with medications like aspirin or clopidogrel (Plavix).

In some cases, coronary artery bypass surgery or coronary angioplasty may be necessary to improve blood flow around narrowed arteries in the heart muscle. These surgeries can also reduce a person’s chance of having a myocardial infarction (heart attack).

In addition to Western medicine treatments, many patients have sought out alternative methods such as acupuncture and yoga which target stress reduction and relaxation techniques that aim to slow down respiration rates; both forms of therapy have shown promise in reducing symptoms associated with angina pectoris.

Lastly, it's important for those with Angina to avoid smoking cigarettes as well as limit alcohol consumption because these activities can worsen the condition by damaging your blood vessels further. Additionally, reducing any excess weight can help lower your risk for developing more serious conditions associated with Angina Pectoris such as heart failure or stroke.
