I have a Polish friend who has just been diagnosed with angina, she is very worried about this condition and does not feel that her Scottish doctor is giving her good information. So I was wondering if anyone knew where I could find any information on the WWW about angina and the treatments of angina written in Polish.
not quite. it's tonsillitis (severe bacterial infection of the tonsils).
if the lady is in Scotland though, and her doctor is Scottish, I rather think he is talking of angina pectoris - dusznica bolesna. there is probably a wiki.pl site for this.
Yes, in Poland they call a severe throat infection (tonsilitis) angina which is usually treated with antibiotics. It's just an inflammation of the tonsils but very very painful.

If you are talking about the angina pectoris then she probably feels pain and pressure on her chest which is caused by the heart muscle not getting enough blood. This could be caused by a blocked artery.

It is a common problem in many western countries but especially in Poland. It is the stress of daily life linked to high levels of stress, alcohol and smoking which is a big killer in Poland and always has been. The other thing that comes out of the daily turmoil of life in Poland are strokes-also very common in Poland.

oh my dear God michal, what other lies are you gonna tell us? i had angina when i was a kid, dont think i was stressed out, smoking loads and binge drinking then, even though i am Polish. its a sore throat but more painful, its not a KILLER disease you feckin MORON.
angina is TONSILLITIS idiot! Polish people dont die of tonsillitis everyday, will you shut your stupid face! i looked angina up, are you by any chance referring to this:
In very rare cases, diseases like rheumatic fever or glomerulonephritis can occur. These complications are extremely rare in developed nations but remain a significant problem in poorer nations.
Poland, as a "3rd world country", must have a problem with it in your opinion?
sorry, but if you ask Polish people about angina they will tell you its sore throat/tonsillitis. michal suggested Polish people died of angina (not angina pectoris) and i thought it was ridiculous. thanks for the info!
I was also shocked when my student told me she had angina. I called her to ask if she was ok and she told me about her sore throat so I said, 'yeah, but what about ur angina?" Strange conversation it was. As long as they don't have a second meaning for vagina I guess, LOL.
Nie can sound a bit like yeah as well. Anyway, about angina:
'I know you've started going out with my daughter. Please be careful with her, she has acute angina' 'Don't worry. I know about that. She has a cute pair of tits too!'
Did you ever get caught out ? I always thought a member of the family was being polite and speaking in English when he said 'no'. So he never got a drink when I offered one.
Okay, so being serious - in an environment where language can shift from one to another mid-conversation or mid-sentence, these yeah/nie and no/no things do become important. Some people can use it as an opportunity to evade answering a question.
putting your nose into other people's arguements?
Luckily my nose is too big to fit in anyone else's argument - it would just knock everyone else out of the hay. I mean out of the way.

I think this might be true, but usually we find ourselves speaking to friends. So problems shouldn't really occur. In my example it was me who made the mistake not the other person.
Now for a serious comment about angina, even though it will look strange at first.
I had some heart pain a few years ago due to overwork; I also have a slight heard defect. I saw specialists in Poland, who detected the defect but said it was nothing to worry about and certainly didn't warrant any treatment.
Nevertheless, the pain continued - little stabbing pains so I decided to self-treat by ... eating 99% Lindt chocolate! The effect is instantaneous - the pain simply melts away immediately.
The mechanism involved is as follows: Metabolising the chocolate involves the production of nitric oxide, which dilates the arteries - hence relieving heart pain. Doctors actually prescribe drugs to do this - but you can eat this god-awful chocolate instead. 70% Lindt doesn't have the same effect - it has to be the vile stuff.
