3 hrs confidence: peer agreement (net): +1
peer agreement (net): +1squeezing retrosternal discomfort/pain Explanation: You confirmed this is Flemish Since the most characteristic symptom of AP is a 'beklemmend gevoel' and 'nijpende last' sounds like it, and since 'nijpende last' sounds like Flemish and as I never heard of 'nijpende last' in Dutch... 'retrosternaal nijpende last' may refer to 'een onaangenaam gevoel (last) van beklemming (nijpend) retrosternaal/achter het sternum' on second thoughts I think 'last' more likely refers to 'discomfort/pain' than 'a sensation of heaviness' so I would suggest sqeezing retrosternal discomfort /pain a sensation of tightness beneath the sternum and the like the patient experienced squeezing retrosternal discomfort / pijn the patient experienced a sensation of tightness beneath the sternum |
