This campaign explores some of the common, but less well-known signs of angina, and explains why it’s key to not only act now, but act early in angina.
Ignoring the symptoms of angina
A lot of people either ignore or don't fully recognize angina because symptoms can be expressed in many ways. Instead, it is easy to brush symptoms off as stress or fatigue.

The 3 A's of angina awareness
AWARENESS
Seemingly unrelated symptoms like breathlessness, back or jaw pain, and indigestion on physical effort could be angina. Symptoms vary from person to person, so don’t ignore them if they persist.
ACT
Just as angina symptoms vary from person to person, appropriate treatment also needs to be tailored to every individual’s needs. Talk to a doctor about your symptoms for a personalized treatment.
ADHERE
Even the best medicines don’t work if they aren’t taken. Use medications as prescribed, see your doctor regularly and follow through on recommended lifestyle changes.
