Angina Pectoris- 9 Best Homoeopathic Medicines

This narrowing or blockage of the coronary arteries can be caused by the buildup of plaque, a substance made up of fat, cholesterol and other substances. Other factors that can contribute to angina include- 

• High blood pressure
• Smoking
• Diabetes
• High cholesterol levels
• Obesity
• Lack of physical activity and
• Stress.
