Angina is an infection caused by bacteria on the floor of the mouth. It is a form of cellulitis that inflames the tissue under the tongue. It often occurs after an oral injury or an infection of the individual roots of the teeth like a tooth abscess. The disease does not usually occur in children. Swollen tissues may block the airway or prevent the swallowing of saliva.

Symptoms :

            Fever

            Neck pain, swelling or redness

            Confusion

            Difficulty breathing

            Weakness and fatigue

            Some people who have this disease also experience additional symptoms like drooling or            earache

Eating a heavy meal, experiencing severe emotional stress, and physical exertion can trigger an episode of angina, which can last anywhere between one and 15 minutes. Because narrowed coronary arteries can't deliver a sufficient supply of oxygen to the heart muscle, either stable angina or unstable angina develops.

Types of Angina

1. Stable angina - pain is experienced only while doing physical activities or during intense emotional episodes. Taking a rest will usually make the pain disappear.

2. Unstable angina - chest pain experienced from this type may occur more frequently and even while resting or doing minimal activity. Oral medications can usually relieve symptoms but because the pain is unstable, it may be a precursor to a heart attack.

3. Prinzmetal's angina - pain comes even if you are at rest, sleeping or just being exposed to cold temperatures. Pain is caused by diminished blood flow to the heart's muscle or due to spasms of the coronary artery very near the blockage.

Angina treatment beyond rest and medication involve more complicated medical procedures such as coronary angioplasty or coronary artery bypass graft surgery to correct the problem.

Heart problems should not stop you going on holiday though and you should get good cover if you've had major heart problems in the past.
