Angina
The word angina is used in medicine with more than one meaning, and it's worth clarifying. On one hand, angina pectoris is pain or pressure in the chest that appears when the heart doesn't receive enough oxygen; on the other, in everyday speech "anginas" refers to inflammation of the tonsils in the throat.
Angina pectoris: it usually feels like tightness in the chest, sometimes with physical activity, and can be a cardiac warning sign that requires evaluation.
Tonsil inflammation: it presents with sore throat, discomfort when swallowing, and, at times, fever.
Who treats it? The cardiologist and the internist evaluate angina pectoris, while the throat condition corresponds to the otolaryngologist or the general practitioner. Because of the difference between the two conditions, the safest thing is for a professional to clarify which one your case refers to.
