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

HDL: 62 mg/dl
LDL: 190 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.
