Before I discuss the various symptoms of angina, it is important to know what angina pectoris is. Angina pectoris is differentiated by severe pains in the chest and is often confused with a heart attack. The question which arises is when does angina occur? It occurs when there is a narrowing of a coronary artery or there is a spasm of coronary artery. Over excitement or even over exertion brings it about. It rarely occurs under the age of 40 years and like a coronary thrombosis is more common in men than women. Normally the attack lasts for a few minutes and the pain then disappears on resting.
The symptoms of angina pectoris vary from person to person. Some of the generally symptoms include, pain in the chest up into the jaw or down the left arm and breathlessness. Some casualties are very pale and have blue lips. Fatigue and weakness is very common in people suffering from angina.
What should be down is you come across such a person. First is that you should remain calm. The sit casualty in a bed or armchair, reassure casualty and loosen clothing. Ask if the person has tablets for angina and administer (they are usually taken under the tongue)
