. It usually happens because the arteries supplying the heart become hardened and narrowed
. The pain and discomfort of angina feels like a dull, heavy or tight pain in the chest that can sometimes spread to the left arm, neck, jaw or back
. The pain is usually triggered by physical activity or stress and typically only lasts for a few minutes. This is often referred to as an angina attack
