Angina is...: the medical term for pain that is caused by inadequate blood flow to the heart. This can happen when there are blockages in the coronary arteries, or when the arteries go into spasm. Often this is felt as chest pain, a sense of crushing chest discomfort, and/or pain in the left arm. If you are having this, see your doctor at once. Chest pain that doesn't stop or gets worse is an emergency.
