The pain is severe and crushing and it is characterized by feeling of pressure and suffocation, behind the breastbone.

Your doctor may advise you to follow lifestyle changes such as diet changes (taking foods low in fat, salt or sugar) and do regular mild exercises to achieve better results during treatment with this medicine.
