Can the symptoms of angina pectoris be very bothersome?
Yes, the symptoms of angina pectoris can be very annoying and uncomfortable. Angina pectoris is caused by restricted blood flow to the heart muscle. The most common symptom is chest pain or discomfort that may spread to the arm, neck, jaw, or back. In addition, other symptoms such as shortness of breath, nausea, fatigue, sweating, and anxiety may also occur. These symptoms can seriously affect daily activities and quality of life. It is essential to discuss these symptoms with your doctor, as angina can indicate serious heart problems, such as coronary heart disease.
