Solution

Angina pectoris: It is a type of coronary heart disease when one or more arteries are blocked by the accumulation of fatty substances along the inner walls of the arteries.

The symptoms of angina pectoris are as follows:

  1. Chest pain: pain occurs in the chest region, under the chest bone, and muscles where it feels like a squeezing and a crushing for the person.
  2. Shortness of breath: as the chest tightness the lung chamber volume decreases and holds less oxygen the shortness of breath occurs.
  3. The strenuous activity of the heart: as arteries get blocked so the heart pumping gets difficult, it tries to work harder, and also the blood pressure increases with it.
