Chest pain caused by a decrease in the amount of blood flowing into the arteries of the heart. The pain can be severe and crushing and may also be felt in the shoulders, arms, neck, jaw, or back. It is caused by a buildup of plaque in the arteries of the heart, which reduces the supply of blood and oxygen reaching the heart. Physical or emotional stress can trigger angina. The pain usually stops within minutes after the stress ends.
