Chest Pain

Supplementing with vitamin E can significantly reduce angina episodes and improve the oxygen-carrying capacity of the lungs. Men with heart disease and angina no longer experienced symptoms while exposed to nitric oxide in the dynamite factory. Digestive causes account for 42% of chest pain cases, exceeding the cardiac percentage. Only 31% of people presenting with chest pain have a cardiac connection. 64% of all heart attacks are silent, producing no chest pain or symptoms. Angina is chest pain related to heart disease. Multiple organs beneath the sternum — including the esophagus, liver, gallbladder, stomach, and pancreatic ducts — can each produce chest pain when irritated. Without adequate vitamin E, the heart tends to cramp under exertion or stress, producing chest pain. A heart attack specifically requires lack of blood flow to the heart that causes actual tissue damage — chest pain alone does not constitute one. Vitamin E deficiency elevates the risk of angina by reducing oxygen availability to the heart muscle.
