What are the common symptoms of coronary heart disease?
Patients usually present with Chest pain which radiates to arms or neck (Angina), breathlessness, sweating, tiredness and fatigue. All these symptoms are increased after exercise. But silent heart attack may occur in diabetic patients. Q: How is angina different from a heart attack? An episode of angina is not a heart attack. Angina is a recurring pain or discomfort in the chest that happens when some part of the heart does not receive enough blood temporarily. It is usually relieved within a few minutes by resting or by taking prescribed anginal medicine. People who have been diagnosed with angina have a greater risk of a heart attack than do other people. Q: What is heart attack? Here, the classic symptoms may be triggered or exacerbated by exertion, but it may also occur at rest, will be severe and will not come down with usual anti anginal drugs. This may persist for more than 30 minutes. In heart attack (Myocardial Infarction) the damage to the heart muscle is usually permanent. T
