Angina is associated with acute chest pains that distress the patient for hours. He / she experiences an indescribable feeling of pressure exerted on his chest muscles. According to many patients, the angina pain gives a delusion that the chest is full and set to explode. This pain typically pertains to the center of the chest while experiencing an attack. In women, this pain takes a severe shape which can be associated to stabbing or pulsating forms. Patients are often taught to keep all the pacifying angina medicines ready-to-use whenever they experience an angina attack as it often follows heart attack and strokes. 

Nausea is yet another common sign of Angina. This feeling is mostly accompanied by abdominal problems like gas, indigestion etc. This nauseous feeling eliminates only when the patient takes some angina medicine. In some cases, this feeling naturally alleviates within minutes by lying down in some recommended rest positions.

Few people experience symptoms like fatigue, dizziness, unusual sweating at the time of the emergence of angina pain. People undergo shortness of breath, particularly at the time of doing some tough physical activities. At times, this pain spreads to other body parts like arms, jaws, throat, back and teeth.
