| | Angina - Patient UK |
| | Angina is a pain that comes from the heart. | | | If the symptoms are not typical then it is sometimes difficult to tell the difference between angina and other causes of chest pain such as a pulled muscle in the chest, or heartburn. | | | Therefore less oxygen is needed by the heart, and angina pains are prevented, or occur less often. |

| | Unstable angina |
| | Unstable angina describes a syndrome that is intermediate between stable angina and myocardial infarction (heart attack): it is characterized by an accelerating or "crescendo" pattern of chest pain that lasts longer than in stable angina, occurs at rest or with less exertion than in stable angina, or is less responsive to medication. | | | Unlike stable angina, in which chest pain can be induced by exercise or stress, chest pain in unstable angina may occur at rest and without any precipitating factors. | | | You should promptly seek professional medical care if you have any concern about your health, and you should always consult your physician before starting a fitness regimen. |
