Angina is chest pain or discomfort caused by a lack of oxygen-rich blood to your heart muscle. In your chest, you may feel pressure or a squeezing sensation. In addition to your shoulders, arms, neck, mouth, belly, and back. You may experience discomfort in your shoulders, arms, neck, jaw, abdomen, and back. This pain might mimic the symptoms of dyspepsia. Furthermore, some persons do not experience pain but do have other symptoms such as shortness of breath or weariness. An “anginal equivalent” occurs when these symptoms are caused by a shortage of oxygen to the heart muscle..
