Angina pectoris / chest pain?
do the symptoms like chest tightness, pressure, squeezing and burning sensation always come with shortness of breath?
or they all happen not at the same time?
----------
No, - they don't . Shortness of breath is often absent.
Feelings of "heartburn" come first, and can be mistaken for indigestion or heartburn.
The chest pains and "tightness" come later. It is possible to test the symptoms by undertaking stress and seeing if the pains come and go, -or not. If you have access to medications such as nitroglycerine sprays, you can also test whether they relieve the pains or not. If they do, then Angina seems likely. If they don't, then it's probably something else.
Remember, many things can produce chest pains, but it isn't any use ignoring them. Get them properly tested by a doctor. (

is cardiomyopathy linked to angina pectoris?
Sort of depends what type, but....
"The symptoms of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy include shortness of breath on exertion, dizziness, fainting and angina pectoris. (Angina is chest pain or discomfort caused by reduced blood supply to the heart muscle.) Some people have cardiac arrhythmias. These are abnormal heart rhythms that in some cases can lead to sudden death. The obstruction to blood flow from the left ventricle increases the ventricle's work, and a heart murmur may be heard."

angina pectoris decubitus?
Angina Decubitus is a form of angina that occurs when a person is lying down (not necessarily during sleep). It occurs because the fluids in the body are redistributed in this position due to gravity, and the heart has to work harder.
Angina pectoris, also called angina, is temporary chest pain or a sensation of pressure that occurs while the heart muscle is not receiving enough oxygen.

Angina pectoris is a symptom not a disease. If you have chest pain it could be from a heart attack or from other diseases like heart failure. The chest pain won't kill you but the cause of the chest pain can. (

what is the meaning of 'angina pectoris'?
releted to heart problems
----------
'Angina pectoris' is an ailment in the nerves when there is any blockage that interrupts blood supply to the heart, posing risk for its survival... these blockages result due to deposition of junk on the inner walls of the nerves making then passage narrow... the reasons are excessive fats and cholesterol in the body...
Lipid profile tests on blood are conducted to detect cholesterol contents in your body...
angiography is a system of scanning the nerves leading to your heart for detection of any blockage... thereafter the blockage can be removed by medication or by surgery... viz angioplasty and engioscopic (? Please check in webMD site) surgery similar to laparoscopic operation (I think I am using right terms)...
'Angina pectoris' patients should constantly take medication and get regularly checked up...
It is recently claimed by certain sources that angioplasty can be safely substituted with proper medication for opening the blockages from the nerves...

How do you know the difference between angina and heartburn?
For a few days I have this burning like stabbing pain in my chest under my left breast that comes and goes a few times a day. I don't have acid reflux or anything but how can I know if it's angina without getting an EKG. I am not overweight and I don't have high blood pressure but I am constantly fatigued.
----------
you should get an EKG just to be safe. Chances are it's nothing serious, but it's best to rule it out. There are a lot of weird things that can happen in that area of the body. (

Is Angina always accompanied by a sense of pressure on the chest or heart, and located more mid-thorax?
I've been researching Angina on internet and it appears that pressure on the chest is symptomatic. What about a simple, non-throbbing but continuous dull pain in the heart region on the left side of the chest but not mid-chest in location and no feelings of pressure? Could that be Angina? Or something else?
Please provide your information reference or source as this is a medical question where credibility, versus laymen's guess, is key.
----------
I had angina for 3 years. Then I had a heart attack
Then I had a triple by-pass .. That's my source, and I trust it is good enough for your purposes?
I never once experienced any "pressure" on my chest, (either mid- or LHS.. .) Many people I spoke with on the ward said the same, and my opinion is that the expression "pressure on the chest" is heard so often is (a) because it's difficult to describe angina pains, and this is one way of trying to get the 'feel" of it across, and (b) once it's been said, the phrase trips off the tongue very easily. It even sounds plausible, like the other phrase "tight bands round my chest"... which also crops up many times.
The most accurate description of the symptoms I felt is as follows:
First, a dull 'heart-burn' - like pain and discomfort in the pit of your stomach, which then got more and more intense, cold, and hostile, spreading from the centre outwards into the whole chest cavity, but then becoming an intense dull ache, not just pain.
This radiated out as the attack progressed and the heavy painful ache radiated into the upper arms, neck, and shoulder-blades.
Because the cause is pulsed blood trying to pass into the heart, it is a throbbing pain, obviously.
TNT alleviated it, as with the inhaler. This I would suggest, is one of the surest ways of telling if your dull throbbing pain is angina. Get a spray and try it.
The other way is to experiment, and exert yourself physically.
Angina will come and go, precisely in line with the exertion. You can induce it, and then alleviate it. THat's Angina.
If it doesn't, then it's not.
But when the heart attack came, the additional symptom was a steadily rising pulse (up to about 200 bpm +) and falling BP readings. (
