10 Common Angina Symptoms

Shortness of breath

Shortness of breath is another common symptom of angina and other heart diseases. However, this condition could also be caused by other reasons, so make sure to ask your doctor for the exact underlying trigger. Basically, you suffer from breath shortness as a result of heart failure during angina. When you are doing exercises or working, your body will require more nutrients and oxygen to operate. However, angina narrows the blood vessels and causes a lack of these components to important parts of the body. As a result, the whole body can work as usual and lead to shortness of breath. [4]
