Answer 1

Answer:

B. Angina pectoris

• Angina pectoris, also known as angina, is a type of chest pain or discomfort that occurs when the heart muscle doesn't receive enough blood and oxygen. 
• It's usually caused by a partial blockage or spasm of the arteries that supply blood to the heart, which is also known as ischemia. 
• Angina is often a symptom of coronary artery disease (CAD), but it can also have other causes. 

Symptoms of angina include: 

• A pressing, squeezing, or crushing pain in the center of the chest, usually under the breastbone 
• Pain that may also occur in the upper back, neck, both arms, or ear lobes 
• Pain that feels like gas or indigestion 
• Pain that spreads to the arms, back, or other areas 

Angina can be triggered by a number of factors, including: 

• Physical activity 
• Emotional stress 
• Extreme cold and heat 
• Heavy meals 
• Drinking excessive alcohol 
• Cigarette smoking
