It can also occur outside the chest, and pain or discomfort in the upper abdomen (under the saber) is common; secondly, it can radiate to the left in the left chest, left back, left shoulder, left upper arm front inner side straight to the ring finger and little finger; it can also radiate upward to the neck, pharynx, jaw, teeth and head; radiate downward to the abdomen; radiate to the right to the right shoulder and arm.  2.Nature of chest pain: The nature of pain is constricting and squeezing sensation, smothering and suffocating sensation, occasionally with near-death-like fear, forcing patients to stop activities immediately.  3.Duration and relief mode: the pain lasts about 3-5 minutes, usually not more than 20 minutes. The symptoms can be relieved within 1-3 minutes after resting or taking nitroglycerin.  4, attack triggers: often triggered by exertion, exertion, satiety, cold, emotional excitement, etc.; but quiet and lying down state can also occur.  5, concomitant symptoms and combined diseases: chest pain is often accompanied by anxiety and fear of dying; patients with a history of diabetes, hypertension and hyperlipidemia should be highly suspicious of angina pectoris.
