Angina is pain, heaviness or tightness in the centre of your chest that is brought on by exercise and usually gets better with rest. The pain or discomfort can spread to the neck, jaw and arms. It can also be brought on by emotions, cold weather and heavy meals. As well as the central chest feelings, you may also experience sweating, a sick feeling or feeling faint.
Altering your lifestyle is the most important part of management - stop smoking, do more exercise and lose weight if necessary. Drugs such as aspirin and beta-blockers can be useful in some cases, on top of lifestyle changes.
If you currently suffer from this condition and require guaranteed cover in the future choose a policy with a fixed moratorium.
