Angina Signs & Symptoms

Pain in the Chest

The main symptom of angina is a sharp pain in the chest, but it can also be sometimes felt in the neck, shoulders, and arms. SO, this means that pain that is “radiated” to the extremities of the body or back can be a very good sign that denotes the presence of angina. In addition, it can give the impression that the person is suffering a heart attack. It is important to note that the pain experienced in stable angina is usually between the ranges of 5 minutes to 10 minutes, and most usually subside after. However, the pain experienced in unstable angina is usually greater than 20 minutes and appear suddenly without any apparent cause or trigger.
