Facts About Angina What is angina? ANGINA PECTORIS ("ANGINA") IS A recurring pain or discomfort in the chest that happens when some part of the heart does not receive enough blood. It is a common symptom of coronary heart disease (CHD), which occurs when vessels that carry blood to the heart become narrowed and blocked due to atherosclerosis Angina feels like a pressing or squeezing pain, usually in the chest under the breast bone, but sometimes in the shoulders, arms, neck, jaws, or back. Angina is usually precipitated by exertion. It is usually relieved within a few minutes by resting or by taking prescribed angina medicine. What brings on angina? Episodes of angina occur when the heart's need for oxygen increases beyond the oxygen available from the blood nourishing the heart. Physical exertion is the most common trigger for angina. Other triggers can be emotional stress, extreme cold or heat, heavy meals, alcohol, and cigarette smoking. Does angina mean a heart attack is about to happen?

index search health books site map Angina Angina or angina pectoris refers to a pain in the centre of the chest which comes from the heart. Symptoms You experience a pain in the centre of the chest, which may also travel into the neck, jaw, and arms (especially the left). Angina is usually described as a crushing or heavy or gripping pain. It mostly follows exercise, but may also be triggered by emotion, digesting a heavy meal, or going out in a cold wind. Sometimes it is associated with breathlessness. Causes Angina is rather similar to cramp in a muscle during vigorous exercise. It is caused by the muscles of the heart not receiving enough oxygen (via the blood) for the work they are performing. This is because the blood vessels which supply the heart muscles with oxygen have become narrowed. The main cause of narrowing of the blood vessels is age, but this is accelerated by cigarette smoking. To a lesser extent people with a high cholesterol level, people who are obese (overweight), and diabetics are also more at risk. Diagnosis Diagnosis of angina is largely from the history. That is, there has been pain, usually brought on by exertion, which is situated as indicated above, usually goes off within a few minutes when you stop what you are doing, and is relieved by sucking a GTN (glyceryl trinitrate) tablet under the tongue.

Angina Patient Information What is angina? Angina (angina pectoris) refers to a temporary chest pain that is caused by not enough blood getting to the heart. It may be a feeling of tightness, heaviness, dull discomfort, numbness, burning, pressure, or crushing pain that is usually felt behind the breastbone. It can also spread to the arms, neck, and jaw. Angina is often brought on by exercise, eating, or stress. Not all chest pain is that of angina; only your doctor can make the proper diagnosis. How long does it last? In most cases an attack will last for less than five minutes,but can range from less than 30 seconds to more than 30 minutes. You will learn to recognize your own pattern - that is, when attacks are likely to occur, how long they will last, and what kind of pain you will feel. If your pattern of pain changes, you should notify your doctor. When are you likely to have an attack of angina? Angina usually occurs when your heart has to work harder like when you climb uphill, eat a big meal, go out in very hot or cold weather, or react to stress. This can be caused by Atherosclerosis which is the buildup of fatty deposits within the arteries. This narrows the space through which the blood can flow. It can also be caused by Vasospasm which is a spasm (sudden contraction) of one of the coronary arteries that causes it to narrow temporarily. A spasm can occur at any time in some patients, even when they are at rest. This type of angina is called variant or vasospastic angina.

This recurrent chest pain in patients despite no apparent heart abnormality is not a new diagnosis. Physicians have been confronted with it for centuries. The cause, despite extensive research continues to evade medical science. The relative significance of abnormalities seen in the coronary microcirculation, esophageal motility, acid reflux and psychological and psychiatric problems (panic disorder, anxiety disorder etc.) and mental stress need to be resolved. Recent studies implicate a heightened state of nociperception in the pathogenesis, angina, anxiety, and mental stress reflux. The chest pain of GERD can feel like atypical or many a times typical angina or heart attack promting many patients to rush to the emergency room. Many a times, neither a patient or physician can distinguish the pain related to GERD from the heart attack. Remember, heart attack can kill, but not the GERD attack, so it is important not to jump to the conclusion that the pain is caused by acid reflux.

7. Natural Angina Pectoris Cure A discussion on the use of zinc for treatment of this disorder. http://www.coldcure.com/html/angina.html

NATURAL ANGINA PECTORIS CURE According to Halcomb, complete control of angina pectoris with as little as 60-mg zinc tablets 3 times a day occurs in one-half of patients in clinical practice allowing either termination or substantial reduction in nitroglycerin intake. More patients may respond to higher oral dosages, as long as zinc serum concentrations remain in the high part of the normal zinc serum range (about 140 micrograms zinc per deciliter). Halcomb's findings are in agreement with long-term zinc, lead, and cadmium environmental pollution studies reported in Poland involving thousands of people with angina and ischemia of effort. Workers in zinc smelters had about 40% of the incidence of angina pectoris and ischemia of effort compared with controls (P > 0.01). Workers in lead smelters were not affected compared with controls. Workers in cadmium smelters had more than double the risk of controls. Administration of zinc beneficially depletes excess stores of iron and cadmium in people resulting in the reduced incident of angina pectoris and ischemia. Zinc is well known to compete with iron for gut absorption sites and blood transport proteins. Zinc also prevents arterial scarring from viral infections of the arteries. Cadmium is directly below zinc on the periodic table of elements. It has great chemical similarity to zinc albeit extremely toxic and carcinogenic where it has replaced zinc in biological systems. Zinc ion is also strongly anti inflammatory. Halcomb WW. Mesa, Arizona. Personal communication, 1992.

Videos About Us Healthcommunities.com Pressroom Testimonials Overview Angina is a term for the discomfort felt when a blockage in a coronary artery prevents enough oxygen-rich blood from reaching part of the heart. In some people, this discomfort manifests not as pain, but as a sensation of tightness or heaviness across the chest. Angina pain or discomfort often is felt not only in the chest, but in the neck, jaw, back, and/or arms. Patients with blockages in their coronary arteries (atherosclerosis) also may experience the following symptoms during an angina attack: sweating or "clamminess," shortness of breath, nausea, and a feeling like indigestion. Unstable angina is understood as anginal pain that occurs with lesser degrees of exertion, increasing frequency, or at rest (i.e., without exertion). Unstable angina, which occurs at rest, represents the condition in its most serious form. It usually is caused by the formation of a blood clot in a coronary artery at the site of a ruptured plaque and, if left untreated, it may result in a heart attack and irreversible damage to the heart.

Information from Your Family Doctor Angina and Heart Disease What is angina? Angina (say "ann-gye-na") is chest pain. Angina is like a squeezing pain or a pressing feeling in the chest. This pain may come from blockages in the arteries that supply blood to the heart. This condition is called coronary artery disease (sometimes simply called "heart disease."). Angina can bother you when you are doing activities like walking, climbing stairs, exercising or cleaning. The pain of angina may make you sweat or make it hard to catch your breath. You may feel pain in your arm or neck as well as in your chest. If the pain is mild, it may go away after a minute or so of rest. If the pain is more severe, medicine may be needed. A medicine called nitroglycerin often is used to treat severe angina. Some people have angina that comes on with a certain level of activity and goes away easily. They may have this kind of angina for a long time. This is called stable angina. When the pattern of angina changes a lot, it's called unstable angina. This is a sign of danger. Angina in someone who hasn't had it before, more episodes of angina with less exertion, and angina that comes on while you're resting are also danger signs. Unstable angina may be the first sign of a heart attack. If you get angina, you should call your doctor or go to the nearest emergency room right away. Another sign of danger is chest pain that doesn't go away with rest or after taking medicine. If you have chest pain that doesn't go away, go to the emergency room right away.
