What symptom is slight angina pectoris?
The location of angina pectoris in the elderly is often atypical. Because the elderly are less sensitive to pain, the pain points are not easy to identify, and they often point out with the palm in a large area of the chest. The typical site of angina pectoris is located behind the upper or middle part of the sternal body, and may also affect most of the precordial area. It can radiate to the left shoulder and the anteromedial side of the left upper limb, reaching the ring finger and little finger. The range of angina pectoris is the size of the palm, and it can radiate to the two shoulders and the upper limb. A small number of patients with angina pectoris do not appear obvious typical symptoms, but appear toothache, sore throat, stomachache and other symptoms.
The onset time of angina pectoris after physical activity is short, generally 1-5 minutes, the elderly can reach about 15 minutes. But angina pectoris after a full meal often lasts for a long time, sometimes as long as 1 hour. Unstable angina attacks at rest can last up to several hours. Therefore, we must pay attention to the pain lasting for a long time, and do not easily negate the diagnosis of angina pectoris, especially for the elderly.
