Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Angina (an-JIE-nuh or AN-juh-nuh) is a type of chest pain caused by reduced blood flow to the heart. Angina is a symptom of coronary artery disease. Angina is also called angina pectoris. Angina pain is often described as squeezing, pressure, heaviness, tightness or pain in the chest.
Detailed explanation-2: -The term derives from the Latin angere ("to strangle") and pectus ("chest"), and can therefore be translated as “a strangling feeling in the chest".
