| 2007-08-20 general | | Angina Pectoris | | Symptoms of Angina Pectoris | | | | Classic or typical angina occurs predictably with physical exertion or strong emotional reactions, and goes away just as predictably with rest. Starting immediately behind the sternum (breast bone), the pain may radiate to the left arm and shoulder or up to the jaw.
Most people describe the pain as a kind of squeezing pressure, tightness or heaviness.
There may be anxiety, increased or irregular heart rate, paleness and cold sweat, and a feeling of doom. The symptoms are like the ones for a heart attack.
In some instances, chest pain results from other types of heart problems, including diseases that affect the heart muscle itself or the valves that control blood flow through the heart. Occasionally, ulcers, gallstones, abnormal contractions of the esophagus or severe anxiety and panic attacks can cause chest pain. However, if you do experience these symptoms, your best plan of action is to get immediate help. Stop doing whatever is causing the symptoms and call 911. Lie down with your head slightly elevated. If you are not allergic to it, take one adult aspirin.
