Pain in other parts of the body
In addition to chest pain, angina might also cause pain in other parts of your body such as shoulders, jaw, neck, back, and epigastrium. This is known as referred pain, a condition triggered when the spinal level which gets the visceral sensation from your heart simultaneously gets the cutaneous sensation from other skin’s parts. It is typically specified by that dermatome of the spinal, without the capability to discriminate between them. Typical areas for referred pain are the neck, shoulders, and arms. The condition might be worsened by cold temperatures or a full stomach. [6]
