Angina (chest Pain)

Angina is a type of chest pain or discomfort caused by reduced blood flow to the heart. It is usually felt as a pressure or squeezing feeling in the chest, and can be accompanied by shortness of breath, sweating, nausea, and fatigue. Angina is a sign of coronary artery disease, which can increase a person's risk of a heart attack or stroke. Treatment for angina may include lifestyle changes, medications, or surgery. It is important to seek medical attention if angina symptoms occur, as prompt diagnosis and treatment can help reduce the risk of serious complications.
