Typical cardiac pain will be like this
1. Location: The pain is typically located in the chest, often described as a pressure, heaviness, or tightness. It is usually retrosternal, meaning it occurs behind the breastbone.
2. Radiation: The pain can radiate to other areas, such as the shoulders, arms (especially the left arm), neck, jaw, or back.
3. Quality: It is commonly described as a squeezing, pressing, or burning sensation rather than sharp or stabbing pain.
4. Duration: Anginal pain usually lasts for a few minutes, typically 2 to 5 minutes, but it can persist for up to 15 minutes. It is usually not a fleeting pain.
5. Triggering Factors: The pain is often triggered by physical exertion, emotional stress, cold weather, or heavy meals. It tends to subside with rest or after taking nitroglycerin.
6. Relief: The pain is relieved by rest, stopping the activity that triggered it, or using medications like nitroglycerin, which dilate the coronary arteries and improve blood flow.
7. Associated Symptoms: Angina may be accompanied by other symptoms such as shortness of breath, sweating, nausea, or dizziness.
