artery disease symptoms
Coronary Artery Disease. Coronary Artery Disease. The most common symptoms of coronary artery disease are angina (say ANN-juh-nuh or ann-JY-nuh) and shortness of breath when exercising or doing other vigorous activity. Women are somewhat more likely than men to have other symptoms like nausea and back or jaw pain.
Not all people with coronary artery disease have chest pain as a symptom. Some may have signs and symptoms of indigestion, or exercise intolerance where they cannot perform activities that they normally once could. Coronary heart disease is initially diagnosed by patient history and physical examination.
