I have had the "usual" experiences of road accidents, toothache, etc., but nothing comes even close to a bad angina attack.
There's no description to do the pain justice: the best I can manage is that it's like having your whole chest held tightly in a vice. It almost paralyzes you because the very slightest movement has an effect like someone spinning the bar on the vice to tighten it more.
Fortunately nitro-gylcerin spray works like a miracle and a few minutes after you have put some under your tongue you are just left with a bad headache.
