6. Angina
Angina is a condition caused when your heart is not getting enough oxygen-laden blood. The main symptom of the condition is a pain in the chest. It is often described as though somebody is standing on your chest. It tends to occur in the middle of the chest or sometimes toward the left of the center.
Angina can be brought on by stress or through exercise. It is not necessarily a dangerous condition in itself, but it is an indicator of a potentially serious underlying problem. It should be enough to encourage the patient to seek medical assistance when they can.
