What are the symptoms of a coronary thrombosis?
Some people get chest pains (angina), which are a sign that atherosclerosis has narrowed the coronary arteries. Other people have no symptoms until the plaque ruptures and causes the following: • sharp pain behind the breast bone or on the left-hand side of the chest, which may spread down the left arm • pain can also radiate towards the hands, jaw, ear, stomach or the right arm • a constricting sensation in or around the throat • breathing difficulties • sudden fainting or severe dizziness, often accompanied by pain.
