There are several types of Angina
Unstable angina

Unstable angina maybe caused by sudden narrowing of a coronary artery & may mean you're at risk of having a heart attack or stroke. There is often no pattern to your symptoms so they may last for 30 minutes or more. Symptoms of unstable angina often come on after only a small amount of effort or even when resting. Discomfort & pain may develop very quickly, be more severe & frequent than with stable angina.

Stable angina

Stable angina is when you get regular or predictable symptoms that you have had for several months. Symptoms of stable angina may develop gradually over time & you may notice a pattern to your symptoms eg only get symptoms when you do physical activity or if under a lot of stress. Symptoms of stable angina that get worse with physical activity often pass within a few minutes of rest.

Angina and heart attacks

If the coronary artery becomes completely blocked, part of the heart muscle may be starved of oxygen so become damaged - This is a heart attack. The pain is usually more severe & lasts longer than that of angina. If you have angina, your usual treatment may not relieve the pain of a heart attack.
