A calcium channel blocker (the high blood pressure pill) is often prescribed for people who have coronary arterial spasms. They can reduce the frequency of attacks as they relax the arteries. Statins are often prescribed as well, as they can reduce heart attack and stroke for those with risk factors even if you do not have bad lipid profile.

Have your doc explain the risks and benefits are various treatments for your particular situation.
