Can this be angina

Can this be angina

My husband has PAD as well as CAD. He had a stent placed last year.  He has multiple symptoms of PAD but no pain with the CAD. However he does get a squeezing feel in his mid back often during the day or night. It can last minutes to hours. It is not pain, but more of a pressure. Can this be angina?
Thanks

Hi,
     Angina manifests with feeling of pressure or heaviness or squeezing sensation accompanied by radiation of pain to the back, jaw, teeth, arms etc. As, your husband has a history of CAD, further evaluation is a must to prevent any untoward reactions. Diagnosis of angina is made with EKG, stress echocardiography, stress exercise test, CT coronary angiogram etc.
I would recommend that you consult a cardiologist for further assistance on this. Best.
