Angina, or chest pain and discomfort, is the most common symptom of CAD. Angina can happen
when too much plaque builds up inside arteries, causing them to narrow. Narrowed arteries can cause
chest pain because they can block blood flow to your heart muscle and the rest of your body.
Coronary heart disease often develops over many years. As plaque builds up and narrows the coronary
arteries , you're more likely to have symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, or neck pain when
you exert yourself. Symptoms often go away with rest and return when you are active or under stress.
You can't reverse coronary artery disease. But you can manage your condition and prevent it from
getting worse. Work with your healthcare provider and follow your treatment plan. Doing so will
give you the strongest possible chance of living a long and healthy life.
