Unrest
It is normal to feel restless from time to time, but it can sometimes be a sign of angina. The patient feels stirred up, tense or irritable. This sensation can last for some minutes, a few hours, or during the time that the angina episode lasts.
Patients with heart disease may trigger episodes of angina after periods of physical or emotional stress. At the same time, we mentioned that angina triggers the parasympathetic nervous system, which turns on the alert system of the body. Thus, unrest can be either a cause or consequence of angina, and patients with chest pain often come to the emergency room with anxiety and emotional distress, which often makes the medical situation even more severe.
