Symptoms Of Heart Disease

One of the most common symptoms of heart disease is angina, otherwise known as" Angina Pectoris". ( Latin for "chest pains").

Commonly, angina pains are typically described as chest discomfort rather than actual pain.

This discomfort and angina symptoms are typically precipitated by exertion or emotional stress, and exacerbated by having a full stomach or cold temperatures.

The discomfort or pain usually last for several minutes.

Chest pain lasting only a few seconds is normally not angina and is not considered one of the symptoms of heart disease.

There are other types of angina, where the symptoms of angina are the same but are not percipitated by exertion.

These are described as stable angina, unstable angina, prinzmetal angina, prinzmetals angina, variant angina, and microvascular angina.

The most common angina treatment is nitroglycerine. If the angina becomes unstable or occurs frequently it may be a sign that a heart attack may be occuring. At that point immediate medical attention is needed.
