Accelerating Angina
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Accelerating angina, also called unstable angina, is a type of chest pain of cardiac origin that changes its pattern: it appears more often, with less exertion, or even at rest. It reflects that the heart is not receiving enough blood flow.
How it shows up: pressure or pain in the chest that may radiate to the arm, neck, or jaw, sometimes with shortness of breath or sweating.
When to seek care? Because of its changing nature, this type of angina requires prompt evaluation; if chest pain is severe or does not let up, seek help immediately.
Which specialist treats it? The cardiologist is the one who evaluates accelerating angina and heart health. If you have chest pain that is worsening or becoming more frequent, do not put it off and seek medical care.
