If the fatty deposits are attached to the blood-vessel wall, you will have symptoms of stable angina. This means that you will probably feel pain at the same level of stress or exercise.
As your angina develops, it is possible for the fatty deposits (also known as plaques) in the blood vessels to break down and form a blood clot (known as a thrombosis). You may be in pain even when you are resting, and your medication may not ease the pain. Unstable angina is a very severe and dangerous form of angina, and you will need hospital treatment for pain relief and specialist treatment as the risk of heart attack is very high.
