So don't worry........ other than to see a doctor just to double check that all of us that play doctors on the internet are correct or not.

And if you are old enough to be in this forum, you should probably have a heart doctor as a matter of course just like a family doctor or GP and that dreaded Gastroenterologist that likes to run a camera up us.

Angina is a concern mostly when you get it while not doing anything considered stressful.
I'm sorry. Angina is a very specific condition with a specific defitnition and certainly not something everyone gets or can get, at any age--thank goodness.
