This might help you out a bit:
Angina Symptoms
Angina feels like a pressing or squeezing pain, usually in the chest under the breast bone, but sometimes in the shoulders, arms, neck, jaws, or back. Angina is usually precipitated by exertion. It is usually relieved within a few minutes by resting or by taking prescribed angina medicine.
It may relieved by sublingual nitrates but after taking 2 to 3 tablets of sublinguals if the pain persists seek Emergency Help.

You would know. It can be extremely painful, you end up sweating a lot and being absolutely soaking wet. Asprin is given to thin the blood a little after an attack but asprin would not fix the pain of angina.
