Answer 2

WEll i am a doc and if u have angina u must see ur doc immediatly , also let me explain , angina means heart pain due to temporary stoppage of blood flow to heart itself, can be due to many reasons, but angina does'nt not means u have a heart attack, but simply that u were just short of heart attack, as u c the body rescues heart and blood supply is restored so it is rescued, but if for some reason , the blood supply could have not been restored , what would have u ended up with would have been a heart attack , se ur doc before u get another one , plus if u were sure that it was an angina , alternatively could be gas or muscular ache , but u would need to get an EKG done then it can be decided and an angio , and if u have some problem with ur heart it can easily be fixed these days with out even a bypass !

angina is chest pain caused by a lack of blood supply to your heart

1) unstable angina
2) stable angina

unstable angina is chest pain that is getting worse - this may mean you're on your way to having a heart attack soon and you should go to the emergency room right away
