Angina Support Group
Angina pectoris is chest pain due to ischemia (a lack of blood and hence oxygen supply) to the heart muscle, generally due to obstruction or spasm of the coronary arteries (the heart's blood vessels). Coronary artery disease, the main cause of angina, is due to atherosclerosis of the cardiac arteries.

Is jaw/throat/ear pain angina?

I would say yes it can be . Having had great amounts of pain in my teeth and jaws I googled the possiblity of jaw and teeth angina and sure enough some people only get angina in the jaw and teeth . An internist I met from Toronto agreed that yes angina does occur in the jaw . It is very hard to determine but if even the dentist can't find why you are having pain in the teeth and jaw then the likelyhood is great . One doctor banged on all my teeth and because I didn't jump through the ceiling he told me I wasn't having any dental pain . First I looked at him like he was nuts and then I laughed at him . I'm beginning to believe that the only reason why there are any doctors in Saskatchewan is because they can't get a job anywhere else . Throat problems can be from Medications , altace being one of them .Its a little complicated to diagnose the reasons for things but as long as tests are being conducted the process of elimination will work . Beware of doctors who rely on experience to give you off the cuff answers .
