A real angina generally occurs after exertion of some kind, be that exertion ever so slight. False angina may occur at any minute with or without exertion. Pain referred to the heart which awakens a patient at night is not likely to be a true angina; nervous patients are prone to have such night attacks of cardiac disturbance of various kinds.

I strove to divert suspicion by insisting that Jimmie died from angina pectoris, and then you came, Helen, and demanded an autopsy." "I had to," Helen broke in. "I could not believe that Jimmie's death was due to natural causes," her voice quivered. "He had been so loyal so faithful I could not be less true to him, even if, as I feared, my own dear father was guilty of the crime."
In serious pain morphin becomes a life saver. While a number of causes of true cardiac pain may be eliminated by improvement in any loss of compensation, by improvement of the heart tone, by more or less recovery from myocardial or endocardial inflammation, and by the withdrawal of nicotin, which may cause cardiac pains, still, true angina pectoris once occurring is likely to be caused by a progressive, incurable condition, and the attacks will become more frequent until the final one.
"Certainly, I authorize M. Leveque to do so, and tell him that I thank him a thousand times." Then this matter being settled, the young man, remarking the doctor's pallor, and questioning him as to its cause, Pascal answered with a smile: "Imagine, my friend, I have just had an attack of angina pectoris. Oh, it is not imagination, all the symptoms were there.
An attack of angina pectoris usually comes on with a sudden seizure of pain, felt at first over the region of the heart, but radiating through the chest in various directions, and frequently extending down the left arm. A feeling of constriction and of suffocation accompanies the pain, although there is seldom actual difficulty in breathing.

I have seen it before twice. If I had only had some nitrite of amyl! But there was nothing nothing I could do." He paused, and then added timidly, "I am a Catholic; I said some of our prayers."
But he looked very pale as he passed me, and I noticed that he put his hand to his left side as if he had a twinge of pain, or something of that sort, spasm or neuralgia, I don't know what. I wondered whether he had what you call angina pectoris. It was the same kind of look and movement, I remember, as you trust, too, in my uncle who died with that complaint." The doctor was silent for a moment.
Now, angina pictoris or brist-pang is not curable through the lungs, nor the stomick, nor the liver, nor the stays, nor the saucepan, as the bunglintinkerindox of the schools pretind, but only through that mighty mainspring the Brain; and instid of going meandering to the Brain round by the stomick, and so giving the wumman lots o' time to die first, which is the scholastic practice, I wint at the Brain direct, took a puff o' chlorofm put m' arm round her neck, laid her back in a chair she didn't struggle, for, when this disorrder grips ye, ye cant move hand nor foot and had my lady into the land of Nod in half a minute; thin off t' her husband; so here's th' Healer between two stools spare the whipcord, spoil the knacker! it would be a good joke if I was to lose both pashints for want of a little unbeequity, wouldn't it Lash the lazy vagabin!
