Dizziness

Dizziness or lightheadedness are common symptoms of angina pectoris. They occur because of the reduced supply of blood to the brain, which means it does not have sufficient oxygen to maintain normal function. In some instances, confusion can also ensue. Severe cases of dizziness can result in episodic fainting.

Like several of the other symptoms of angina pectoris, dizziness will usually come on suddenly. Lightheadedness can occur in isolation or alongside other symptoms, such as chest pain and shortness of breath.
