Angina is a recurring pain or discomfort in the chest that happens when some part of the heart does not receive enough blood. It occurs when blood vessels that carry blood to the heart become narrow and blocked due to atherosclerosis (build-up of fat and cholesterol), and is a common symptom of heart disease. Angina feels like a pressing or squeezing pain, usually in the chest, but sometimes may be felt in the shoulders, arms, neck, jaws, or back.
Angina or chest pain can occur when the heart’s need for oxygen increases beyond the oxygen available from the blood. Physical exertion is the most common trigger for angina. Other triggers can be emotional stress, extreme cold or heat, heavy meals, alcohol, and cigarette smoking.
