Can Ayurveda Help After Angioplasty? - #16578

Anonymously

A month ago, my father had an angioplasty after experiencing severe chest pain and breathlessness. The doctors found significant blockages in his arteries and placed a stent. Since then, he has been on multiple medications, including blood thinners and cholesterol-lowering drugs. While the procedure went well, he constantly feels weak, tired, and sometimes dizzy. Before the angioplasty, he had no major symptoms except occasional shortness of breath, which he ignored thinking it was due to age. But after the surgery, his digestion has weakened, he feels bloated, and his appetite is much lower than before. He is also struggling with anxiety, which he never had earlier. We are worried about his long-term heart health and whether the blockages might return. Can Ayurveda help in preventing further artery blockages after angioplasty? Are there any Ayurvedic herbs or remedies that can help keep his arteries clean and improve circulation naturally? We also want to know if there are specific foods that can strengthen his heart and help with recovery. Another concern is his dependency on allopathic medications. Can Ayurveda help in gradually reducing his dependency on strong medicines while still keeping his heart healthy? Also, are there any lifestyle changes or exercises recommended in Ayurveda that can improve his overall well-being after angioplasty? Would really appreciate your insights on how Ayurveda can support post-angioplasty recovery and prevent further heart issues naturally.

Doctors’ responses

Your father’s post-angioplasty concerns are completely valid, and Ayurveda can definitely support his recovery, improve circulation, and help prevent future blockages. While his prescribed medications are essential right now to prevent complications like clot formation, Ayurveda can work alongside them to strengthen his heart, improve digestion, and gradually restore his overall well-being. Weakness, bloating, and anxiety after angioplasty are common due to the impact of the procedure, medications, and underlying stress, but these can be addressed through a balanced Ayurvedic approach. From an Ayurvedic perspective, arterial blockages result from excess Kapha (cholesterol, plaque formation), Pitta (inflammation), and Vata (irregular circulation). The key is to cleanse the arteries while improving circulation and digestion. Arjuna (Terminalia arjuna) is one of the best Ayurvedic herbs for heart health, known to strengthen heart muscles, improve blood flow, and prevent plaque buildup. A simple Arjuna bark tea (1 tsp powder boiled in water) daily can help maintain arterial health. Other helpful herbs include Garlic (natural blood thinner), Triphala (detoxifier), and Guggulu (cholesterol regulator). Regular consumption of warm water with a few drops of lemon can also aid in keeping arteries clean.
