And as we know PND is a symptom while unstable angina is a disease
1. B
Paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea (PND) occurs when there is an accumulation of fluid in the lungs (pulmonary oedema) at night. The patient is waken from sleep fighting for breath, a dramatic and frightening experience. Sitting on the side of the bed or getting up may relieve the breathlessness. Sometimes the patient will get up and open a window to gasp for fresh air.
2. D
The pain of pericarditis is felt in the center of the chest and like that of pleurisy is aggravated by movement, posture, respiration and coughing, but may be relieved by sitting forward.
3. F
Angina pectoris literally means a strangling sensation (angina) in the chest (pectoris). It is a gripping or crushing central chest pain (or discomfort) that may be felt around the whole chest or deep within the chest. The pain may be radiate into the neck or jaw ,and rarely, into the teeth, back or abdomen. It is associated with heaviness, paraesthesia or pain in one ( usually the left ) or both arms. It is typically provoked by exercise and is promptly relieved by rest. Angina of increasing frequency, or coming on at rest or unpredictably is called unstable ( or crescendo ) angina.
