Question 2

why does angina causes pain in the chest and arm?

Accepted Answer

Common nerve roots: The pain fibers in the spine innervate areas of the body (dermatomes) in relation to their proximity to the spine during development.  The heart, upper chest and left arm develop with the same set of nerves.  When you get angina, the heart hurts and co-stimulates the nerves of the arm and upper chest.  Always keep in close contact with your cardiologist if you have this.

Angina: Can be any part or none, generally we speak of the inside of the left arm but that is not specific.

Question 4

when under stress, i get left collarbone and arm discomfort immediately when the stressor occurs. is this different than angina?

Accepted Answer

Testing needed: Since angina and muscular pain can feel exactly the same, one can't tell without some testing: your symptoms are a perfect indication for doing a stress test. If it's negative, you can rest comfortably that your pain is not angina .If it's abnormal, additional heart testing would be indicated (at least in the usa)

Question 5

i have mild to moderate exercised induced angina. am i right in assuming that i should restrict my activity if i experience arm back, or chest pain as this would indicate possible damage to the cells or tissues of the heart?

Accepted Answer

Not : Not only should you limit your activity, you should get yourself immediately to your doctor.  This is a very concerning warning sign.  You need to be aware that just because the symptoms occur at exercise doesn't mean there's not a problem at rest.  Please be seen by your primary care doctor today if possible!

Accepted Answer

Intervention: Have surgery or percutaneous intervention.

Question 7

is there usually left shoulder/arm/jaw pain associated with angina pectoris?

Accepted Answer

Referred pain: The heart isn't typically an at where the body feels pain, so when pain sensations from angina occur, the brain essentially looks for a way to translate them. This typically is translated as pain in the shoulder, arm, and sometimes jaw. Since the heart is slightly offset to the left side of the body, thats where the pain radiates to.
