Angina may feel like pressure or squeeze inside chest. The pain also may occur in your back, neck, arms, shoulders or jaw.

It can feel like indigestion. There are also many types of anginas like abdominal angina or angina tonsilliris but the angina which is heart related or inclusion of chest pain happens is the most common type and it is known as Angina Pectoris. This term Angina Pectoris is derived from two words one Latin and other Ancient Greek and therefore it means "a strangling feeling in chest". The word defines the meaning itself.

By a research, it is reported that most patients having angina make complain about discomfort in chest preferred to the actual pain. The discomfort in chest is normally mentioned or described as tightness, heaviness, pressure, burning, choking or squeezing feeling. Some people also experience "autonomic symptoms" which are vomiting, nausea and pallor. Sweating and breathlessness also occurred to this disease patient.

There are two types of angina, the stable angina and unstable angina respectively. The stable angina as name says can be stabilized. The typical presentations of stable angina are discomfort in chest. It can appear while doing any movement or exercise and when the exercise or movement is stopped the pain releases, therefore relatively a stabilized condition. While unstable angina can be worsen day by day and it is more dangerous type. It is very severe and occurs at rest (usually ten minutes).

Angina diagnosis is done by ECG. If the report is fine and still the patient is suspected of angina then exercise ECG test is done in which patient is monitored walking, running on a treadmill until he/she feels breathlessness and pain.

The treatment of angina aims about reducing the chances of symptoms, the disease itself and future dangers like heart attacks or failures etc. It is better or necessary for anyone who feels a chest pain to diagnose him/herself to a cardiac specialist to be saved and to work before the severe condition of anything worse like angina and other heart diseases.
