Decreased oxygen supply to the muscles of heart (myocardium),due to any cause resulting in heart pain, either sitting, lying, or walking is called angina.
It is a symptom not a disease.

Angina Pectoris is chest pain. It is usually worse when you are cold, under stress or working hard or exercising. The common treatment for angina is nytroglycerin. No chest pain should be self-diagnosed or ignored. Even angina can lead to heart attack. See your doctor, or go to an ER if you are having chest pain.

Angina: chest pain caused by reduced flow of blood to the heart muscle

Angina is an uncomfortable feeling of crushing pain in the chest. It is a sign of heart problem. Areas involved includes the central chest, radiates to left arm and up to jaw area. Though their are atypical presentations as well. The pain cannot be reproduced (i.e. if you press on it). It comes on with exertion and gone with rest, except when actually having heart attack.

Its a heart condition where there is pain in the chest similar to a heart attack, it is usually a warning, can be treated with a special spray or nitro glycerine pills popped under the tongue. Its where the arteries constrict...hence the pain and shortness of breath.
