How Can Chest Pain Be Treated?

how can I treat my 97yr. old mom who has angina pain at home.I keep calling 911 and the hospital runs all there tests but nothing is done. She can t take nitro ,she bottoms out. she has a heart murmer and had 5 way heart bypass 18yrs. ago. sometimes pain is caused when her blood count gets down to 8 and has transfusions which help for a while.today she had another attack,but her blood count was 9.8.She also has dementia.I am her daughter who is her care taker,24/7.I just want to know if there is anything I can do for her when she has these attacks?

Ntiroglycerin is the only medication that she can take at home to treat chest pain.
For further examinations and treatment you should go to the emergency room.
