Jakarta, CNN Indonesia —
Angina or often called angina sits is a type of chest pain caused by reduced blood flow to the heart. Here are the causes of angina or sitting wind that should be wary of.
Angina occurs when the blood supply to the heart is drastically reduced. This fairly common condition is often accompanied by a feeling of pressure in the chest, pain elsewhere in the upper body, nausea, sweating, and dizziness.
Symptoms of angina include chest pain and discomfort, perhaps described as pressure, burning or tightness. You may also feel pain in your arms, neck, jaw, shoulders, or back.
Some types of angina occur when a person is physically active, which makes the heart pump blood harder than usual.
As reported Mayo Clinic, these symptoms need to be evaluated immediately by a doctor who can determine whether you have stable angina, or unstable angina, which can be a precursor to a heart attack.
Stable angina is the most common form of angina. This usually happens when you push yourself and go with a break. For example, pain that occurs when you walk uphill or in cold weather may be angina.
While other types of angina can appear at any time, including when a person is in a relaxed state. The latter angina needs serious attention because it can increase the risk of heart attack.
Then, what causes angina?
according to NHSThe cause of angina is usually caused by the arteries that supply blood to the heart muscle become narrowed by a buildup of fatty substances.
Things that can increase the risk of causing angina include:
– Unhealthy eating patterns
– Lack of exercise
– Smoking
– Increasing age
– Family history of heart disease
– High blood pressure
– High Cholesterol
– Diabetes
– Obesity
Once you know the cause of angina, it can still be difficult to distinguish it from other types of chest pain, such as indigestion. If you have unexplained chest pain, seek medical attention immediately.
