Yes a patient suffering from angina can feel severe chest pain that can move to left arm of body. This type of chest pain can be burning, sharp, dull and stabbing mainly caused due to insufficient supply of blood and oxygen. Patients should undergo for certain lab tests such as ECG and Exercise tolerance test to diagnose angina properly. Most commony prescribed drugs to counter anginal pain are nitrates such as nitroglycerine.
