Anginal pain usually lasts for no more than 2-10 minutes. It is relieved by rest or nitroglycerin. It is commonly found in the chest area. Angina is usually a sign of coronary artery disease(CAD). It occurs when the blood vessels leading to the heart are blocked. The blockage decreases the blood and oxygen flow to the heart muscle. When the heart muscle is deprived of oxygen you will feel chest pain and other symptoms.
