Angina is a chest ache due to inadequate blood flow to the heart muscle. A person experiencing angina may feel mild discomfort or squeezing pain in the chest area and may also feel like heartburn due to indigestion.

The common symptoms of angina pectoris are as follows-

• Chest pain or uneasiness, such as pressure and tightening of the chest below the breastbone.
• The person may feel like the chest pain is increasing in other areas like the back, arms, shoulder, neck, ear lobes and other body parts.
• The person may feel like an upset stomach or gas.
• Difficulty in breathing
• Excess tiredness
• Lightheadedness
• Nausea and vomiting
• Perspiration
• Dizziness

If left untreated, angina pectoris can lead to severe heart complications, sometimes fatal. Some of the difficulties of angina pectoris are as follows-

• Unstable angina is a form of acute coronary disease that results in unexpected chest pain even during resting. It happens because of decreased blood flow to the heart muscle.
• Irregular heartbeats occur when the electrical signals generated by the heart’s sinoatrial node don’t function properly. The defective signaling causes the heart to beat too quickly or slowly.
• Heart failure is when our heart cannot pump blood normally, and the condition worsens over time. Heart failure results in organ damage, and fluid gets collected in the lungs.

Some of the home treatment for Angina Pectoris is as follows-
