1. Stable angina
Generally, this condition is triggered by physical activity, such as sports. When a person exercises, his or her heart will need more oxygen from the bloodstream. This need will not be met if there is blockage or narrowing of the coronary vessels.
Stable angina attacks can also be triggered by other things, such as smoking, stress, overeating and cold air.
2. Unstable angina
This situation is triggered by fatty deposits or blood clots that reduce or block blood flow to the heart. Even if the sufferer has taken medication and rested, the chest pain from choppy wind will still be present.
If not managed properly, a bout of volatile wind can turn into a heart attack.
3. Variant angina (prinzmetal seated wind)
In this condition, the heart arteries narrow temporarily due to spasm or stiffness of the blood vessels. Even people who are resting can be affected by a variant of the sitting wind. This is because variant seat winds can occur at any time.
This temporary narrowing of blood vessels decreases the supply of oxygen from the bloodstream to the heart and causes chest pain. Angina symptoms in this variant can be relieved with medication.
