Angina Pain
by F. Batmanghelidj, M.D.

If you suffer from angina pain - that sudden, terrifying tightness in your
chest that makes it difficult to move or even breathe - you've probably
also been told you have coronary artery disease. Doctors will tell you it's
cholesterol that's causing your arteries to narrow, and prescribe beta
blockers and ACE inhibitors, balloon angioplasty or major, life-threatening
surgery like coronary artery bypass.

But it's not cholesterol that's blocking your arteries. Angina is actually
caused by dehydration. As prolonged drought sets in, your body becomes more
acidic. Acid-like chemicals are produced that burn into the cell membranes
in the linings of your arteries, causing painful angina spasms.

Cholesterol actually plays a protective role, bandaging the damaged
membranes and keeping them from peeling away. Only water can correct this
acid imbalance and relieve the tortuous pain it causes.
