Treatments
Active_comparator: Standard Care (Control Group)
Routine ward care including semi-Fowler position and breathing exercises. Standard institutional care will be applied. Presence, number, and severity of dyspnea attacks will be recorded during the first 2 hours after ticagrelor administration.
Experimental: Standard Care + Fan Therapy (Experimental Group)
In addition to standard care, patients will undergo hand fanning for 5 minutes at 30, 60, and 120 minutes after ticagrelor administration. The fan will be directed toward the patient's face from a distance of \~15 cm. Dyspnea severity and number of episodes will be recorded during this period.~Device: Hand Fan
