Symptoms of angina
By Dr Ananya Mandal, MD
Angina is commonly manifested as chest pain or discomfort in the chest.
Angina is of two classical types – stable and unstable angina. Stable angina results from atherosclerosis and narrowing of the coronary arteries while unstable angina results from breakage of plaques or fatty deposits on the inside walls of the coronary arteries leading to formation of clots and obstructions.
All symptoms of angina arise due to ischemia or lack of oxygen rich blood supply to the heart muscles. The muscles develop fatigue, and increase in levels of toxic chemicals giving rise to the pain.
