What are the symptoms of clogged arteries?

I am a 56 year old male. I want to know what are the symptoms of clogged arteries?

Clogged arteries in your heart limits the amount of work you heart can do. This shows up initially as increasing fatigue on walking uphill or other strenuous exercise. If you push yourself harder you can get a feeling of pressure or tightness in the middle of your chest which settles quite quickly when you rest. It is made worse by cold air, exercising soon after a meal or being stressed.
