How to determine if its angina pain?

Pain from angina can occur in the arms, shoulders, neck, throat, jaw or back. It may also feel as if it is indigestion.

Some patients say that angina discomfort is hard to describe or that they cannot tell exactly where the pain is coming from.

Symptoms including nausea (or feeling sick to your stomach), fatigue, shortness of breath, light-headedness, sweating, or weakness may occur. Women are also more likely to feel discomfort in their shoulders, back and abdomen.

Symptoms vary based on the type of angina you have. It is wise to see your doctor for a more proper assessment.
