What are the symptoms of coronary artery disease? Coronary artery disease (CHD) reduces blood flow to the heart.

 Atherosclerosis occurs when the arteries that supply the heart muscle narrow and harden. In atherosclerosis, fat and other substances accumulate in arterial plaques. use

 CAD can weaken the heart and disrupt the rhythm. Over time, it can lead to heart failure.

 Chest pain, shortness of breath, and other symptoms are associated with CAD.

 Angina, a common symptom of CAD

 A common symptom of CAD is a type of chest pain called angina.

 Angina can feel like tightness, heaviness, and tightness in the chest. There is a feeling of pain, burning sensation and numbness. You may also feel full or oppressive. you can feel

 angina that spreads to these areas:

•  back
•  Jaw
•  neck
•  shoulder
•  weaponry
•  The discomfort may also radiate from the shoulders to the fingers or upper abdomen. You usually don't feel the pain of angina above or below your ears.

 Angina can only cause a vague amount of heaviness, pressure, or discomfort. You may be disguised as indigestion or shortness of breath.

 Women and the elderly are more likely to suffer from this type of angina than men and younger people.

 Angina can also cause other symptoms, such as sweating and a general feeling that something is wrong.

 Causes of angina

 Angina is caused by ischemia. Ischemia occurs when organs, usually the heart, do not receive enough blood with oxygen. This can cause the heart muscle to cramp and behave differently than normal.

 Ischemia usually occurs when engaging in activities that require oxygen supplementation, for example, sports and eating. When you're suffering from stress or cold and your body is struggling to cope, your heart may also be deprived of oxygen.

 CAD ischemia does not always cause symptoms.

 Symptoms of angina may not appear until a person suffers from a catastrophic cardiac event, such as a heart attack.

•  Heart disease
•  cardiac arrhythmia

 This condition is called asymptomatic ischemia.

 Stable angina and unstable angina

 Angina can be categorized as stable or unstable.

 Stable angina

 It is sometimes called chronic stable angina. This is because when it happens, each episode caused by the heart's work harder is similar and predictable over a long period of time. It happens at a predictable time. For example, it usually occurs during stress and exercise when the heart works harder and needs more oxygen. It usually lasts a few minutes and disappears peacefully. unstable angina

 This condition, also called resting angina, occurs when there is no special need for the heart. It is believed to result from the acute rupture of atherosclerotic plaques followed by the formation of coronary thrombosis. A blood clot suddenly and severely blocks blood flow to the heart muscle.

Other symptoms of CAH

 In addition to angina, CAD can cause the following symptoms:

•  shortness of breath
•  exude
•  weakness
•  dizziness
•  nausea
•  fast heartbeat
•  heart palpitations (feeling of your heart beating hard and fast and fluttering or skipping a beat)

 Angina vs. heart attack

 How do you know if you're having angina or a heart attack?

 Both of these conditions can include chest pain and other similar symptoms.

 However, you could be having a heart attack and need to be evaluated by a doctor if you have pain:

•  changes in quality
•  takes more than 15 minutes
•  Not responding to nitroglycerin tablets (Nitrostat) your doctor may have prescribed
•  In these cases, seek medical help immediately.
•  The following symptoms may indicate the onset of a heart attack caused by angina or underlying CAD:
•  pain, discomfort, tightness, pressure, numbness, or burning sensation in your chest, arms, shoulders, back, upper abdomen, or jaw
•  dizziness
•  weakness or tiredness
•  nausea or vomiting
•  indigestion or heartburn
•  sweating or moist skin
•  fast heart rate or irregular heart rhythm
•  anxiety or a general feeling of not being well
•  Do not ignore these symptoms. People often hesitate to see a doctor because they do not know if there is a serious problem.

 This can delay treatment when you need it most. It's better to be safe than sorry.

 If you suspect a heart attack, see a doctor immediately. The sooner you are treated for a heart attack, the more likely you are to survive.
