As a cardiac specialist, I can tell you that angina pain is not permanent. Angina is a symptom of coronary heart disease and occurs when there is not enough blood flow to the heart muscle. This reduced blood flow is typically due to the narrowing of the coronary arteries, often as a result of atherosclerosis, which is the buildup of plaque in the arteries. Angina can manifest as chest pain or discomfort and is often described as a feeling of pressure, squeezing, or fullness in the chest. It's important to note that the pain associated with angina is temporary and typically subsides once the heart receives an adequate supply of oxygen-rich blood. This can be achieved through rest or by using medications that improve blood flow to the heart. However, while the pain of angina is not permanent, it is a sign that there is an underlying issue with the heart's blood supply. It's crucial for individuals experiencing angina to seek medical attention to determine the cause and to implement a treatment plan to manage and reduce the risk of further heart problems. read more >>
