Angina

Angina is the way of body telling you that there is some area of the heart that is not getting enough oxygen due to disturbed oxygenated Blood Supply. The oxygen is carried through a variety of blood vessels, and if one of them gets clogged up by plaque1, then the heart manifests that deficit through an angina. When you experience an angina, then you get feelings of pain or discomfort in and around the area of your heart. The pain can be so low that it feels like indigestion or it can be so high that it feels like a heart attack. The medical term for this pain is known as angina pectoris even though that only describes one type of angina.
