What is stable angina?

Stable angina is caused by a blockage in the arteries, affecting blood supply to the heart. It is characterized by short episodes of chest pain that go away on their own. It may be triggered by physical exertion and/or stress. Risk factors include high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, and smoking.

Symptoms of stable angina

  • Stomach pain or tummy ache in a specific place

  • Feeling breathless

  • Chest pain

  • Left-sided chest pain

  • Previous or active smoker

  • Pain across my entire chest

  • Chest discomfort with exercise

  • Feel the heart is pounding

Questions your doctor may ask to check for stable angina

Your doctor may ask these questions to diagnose stable angina

  • Do you have abdominal (stomach) pain in any particular location?

  • Are you breathless or having hard time breathing?

  • Do you have any chest pain?

  • Do you have left sided chest pain?

  • Do you currently smoke, or have you ever smoked in the past (including electronic cigarettes)?

Treatment for stable angina
