re and squeezing." When she becomes nauseous and light-headed, her son insists that he take her to the emergency room.

She has been overweight for most of her adult life, but has gained 20 pounds in the last few years, which increased her BMI to 34. The last time she had a physical exam was when she turned 50.

HDL: 62 mg/dl
LDL: 190 mg/dl
Triglycerides: 174 mg/dl

Answer:

The correct option is B

Explanation:

Angina is described as pain in the chest and its described as pressure and squeezing pain. Followed with the fact that she started smoking very early with the increase in blood pressure and diabetes. So this will reduce the blood supply to the heart and cause pain. There would be narrowing of the blood vessels reducing blood flow.
