    flu or bad cold
    la gripe
    la gripa

    When you hear someone say, “Tengo gripe” or “Tengo gripa,” they’re usually saying that they have a bad cold and are not referring specifically to LA INFLUENZA.

    Chest

    7:35

    chest pain
    el dolor de pecho
    el dolor en el pecho

    Often, people with angina will deny having chest pain. Instead, they’ll describe a discomfort or pressure in the chest.

    chest discomfort
    las molestias en el pecho

    chest pressure
    la presión en el pecho

    rapid heartbeat
    los latidos rápidos del corazón

    la dificultad para respirar

    wheezing
    la sibilancia

    Not all patients will know the word SIBILANCIA, so you could also use another word for wheezing, which also means whistle.
