How to judge yourself for angina pectoris

Angina can be self-identified by chest pain characteristics, triggers, and accompanying symptoms, as follows:

1. Chest pain characteristics

Angina is often characterized by severe and persistent chest pain, such as pressure, tightness, pain, or burning. Pain can be in the center or left side of the chest, or it can radiate to the neck, jaw, left arm, or back of the shoulder.

2. Trigger factors

Angina is usually triggered by activity or emotional agitation, and relieved after rest. If the patient's chest pain triggers are similar to those described above, angina may be present.

3. Accompanying symptoms

Angina can also be accompanied by other symptoms, such as difficulty breathing, sweating, nausea, vomiting, or dizziness. If the above symptoms occur, angina may occur.
