Al-Marsad Newspaper; The Mayo Clinic reports that pain in the jaw, neck, throat, upper abdomen or back are symptoms of coronary heart disease — also known as coronary artery disease.
The health organization explains this as follows: “Coronary artery disease is a common heart condition that affects the main blood vessels that supply the heart muscle. Usually, cholesterol deposits (plaques) in the arteries of the heart are the cause of coronary artery disease. The buildup of these plaques is called atherosclerosis.” by ‘express’
Atherosclerosis reduces blood flow to the heart and other parts of the body. It can lead to a heart attack, chest pain (angina), or stroke.
Symptoms of coronary artery disease may differ in men and women. For example, men are more likely to have chest pain, while women are more likely to have other symptoms besides chest discomfort, such as shortness of breath, nausea, and extreme fatigue.
The foundation warns that “you may not be diagnosed with coronary artery disease until you have had a heart attack, angina, stroke or heart failure. It is important to monitor heart symptoms and discuss concerns with your health care provider. Cardiovascular disease can sometimes be detected early in life.” During regular medical examinations
