What is the meaning of angina?

Option D

Angina is a type of chest pain that is caused by lack of blood flow and oxygen to the heart. Angina feels like a squeezing, tightness, or pressure in the chest. The pain or discomfort may also radiate to the shoulders, arms, back, neck, and even the jaw.

Angina in women may have additional symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, shortness of breath, abdominal pain, or sharp chest pain.

Angina itself if not a disease, but rather, a symptom of underlying heart disease, usually coronary heart disease (CHD).
