angina pectoris

Angina pectoris is chest pain or discomfort caused by reduced blood flow to the heart muscle, often due to narrowed coronary arteries. It may feel like pressure, squeezing, or a burning sensation and can occur during physical activity or stress. Angina is not a heart attack but indicates an increased risk of one. It can be stable (predictable and manageable) or unstable (more severe and unpredictable). Treatment options include lifestyle changes, medications, and sometimes procedures to improve blood flow. It’s important to consult a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and management.
