Angina
Angina is pain in chest due to reduced blood flow through the arteries and weakening of the heart, and there are four types of angina. The first is chronic angina, and it occurs with physical exertion and stress. The second type is unstable angina, which can happen at rest or even while sleeping.
Variant angina happens without warning, and it occurs with a spasm or tightening of the coronary artery. Microvascular angina is more severe, lasts longer, and occurs in the arterial blood vessels. These types of angina can be helped with certain treatment protocols.
