Overview
It occurs when the heart does not get enough blood supply. This is due to the accumulation of plaque in the blood vessel which interrupts the blood flow. To restore the blood supply, heart starts beating faster and harder, and this condition is known as angina. Its signs and symptoms vary from person to person. However, some of them are common which are as follows:
- Discomfort, tightness or heaviness in the chest
- Ache in other parts of the body such as the back, shoulders, neck or jaw
- Shortness of breath
- Sweating and dizziness
- Nausea
People who experience these symptoms must visit cardiology hospital and seek medical assistance to avoid further complications. It must be noted that the severity of angina can be different in different people. Hence, getting it diagnosed is the best step one can take to identify the underlying issue.
