Your doctor may suspect you have CAD based on symptoms, such as
chest pain or
shortness of breath.
Your exam and test results may also
confirm certain factors that make heart disease more likely. After
your evaluation, your doctor may talk with you about angina and risk
factors. |

Angina is often described as a
painful, heavy or tight feeling in or near the chest. But symptoms
do vary from person to person.
Some people feel angina in the
arm, back, neck, throat or
jaw. Sweating and feeling tired or
short of breath often occur along with the discomfort.
Angina is a common sign of CAD. |
