Angina and Its Different Types

If you suffer from Angina and high blood pressure - See the natural remedies at the bottom of this article!

Heart muscle requires regular supply of oxygen and coronary arteries supply the required amount of oxygen by carrying blood to the heart. When the coronary arteries get blocked or narrowed the supply of oxygen will get reduced and as a resultant factor, people will experience chest pain or discomfort. Blockage of the coronary arteries occurs primarily due to blood clot or hardening of the arteries also known as atherosclerosis.

Angina cannot be considered as a disease and in usual circumstances it is a symptom of coronary heart disease.

Angina is classified into different categories and they include stable angina, unstable angina and variant angina. Stable angina also known as exertional angina can be described as the most common one and a feeling of squeezing or discomfort or pressure will be felt in the chest during the time of stress or exercise. When people walking up a hill or climbing the stairs they need more oxygen and the narrowing or blockage in coronaries due to the buildup of plaque will deny the required amount of oxygen to the heart. When a person abstains from exercises or other stressful events they will not feel any discomfort in the chest.

Unstable angina can be described as a more severe one and there will not be any regular pattern for the occurrence of the symptoms. The possibility of getting affected with heart attack will be higher with unstable angina and blood clots in the artery lead to the restrictive supply of oxygen to the heart muscle. Variant angina also known as Prinzmetal’s angina is rare one in comparison with stable angina and people will experience severe pain during midnight and early morning. The pain associated with this type of angina can be controlled with medication and it occurs mainly due to spasm of the coronary artery.

Lack of exercise and unhealthy eating habits can be considered as the two prominent reasons behind all types of angina complications and more are more people are showing great interest towards home remedies because they will not invite any side effects.
