Angina

Angina is a type of chest pain or discomfort that occurs when the heart muscle doesn't get enough oxygen-rich blood. It's often triggered by physical activity, stress, or heavy meals. People with angina describe it as a feeling of pressure, squeezing, or heaviness in the chest, which may also radiate to the arms, neck, or jaw. Angina is a symptom of underlying heart conditions, typically related to coronary artery disease. While it can be uncomfortable, it generally lasts a few minutes and often improves with rest or medication, but it’s important to seek medical advice if it occurs frequently.
