What are the Symptoms of Angina That I Should Be Looking For?
Symptoms of angina include a heaviness or tightness, not necessarily pain, in the center of your chest which may spread to your arms, back, even your neck or your face.
Other symptoms of angina may start in your stomach and feel like indigestion, or they may include a headache, light headedness and shortness or breath.
Often the symptoms of angina occur during physical activity or a period of emotional stress
Symptoms of angina ordinarily disappear within 10 -15 minutes and are relieved by resting or by using nitrate medication (prescribed by your doctor)
The discomfort, or pain, of angina comes from the heart not getting the blood it needs. As with every other organ and muscle of the body, your heart needs a supply of blood to bring it oxygen and nutrients that it needs and the symptoms that you experience are the way your heart is letting you know.
Over time the arteries that bring the blood that the heart needs, develops deposits which interfere with the flow of blood, reducing the needed oxygen and nutrients.
This interference is often associated with diet and your weight. Both for treatment and for prevention you shold be eatting a healthy diet and keep your weight down.
