What are the symptoms of heart pain

There are many problems with the human heart, and the symptoms of each problem are different in the human body. For example, under the category of heart pain, there is a type called angina pectoris. The pain in the foot is too far away. Unlike general heart pain, it does not have very obvious symptoms in the human body, but just slowly erodes the human body. In fact, angina pectoris not only causes heart pain, but also has other symptoms in the body. So let me introduce to you the symptoms of angina pectoris.

The symptoms of angina pectoris are not like feeling like a knife cutting, needle pricking, or even nerve pain, which means that angina pectoris does not cause obvious pain.

First of all, when angina pectoris occurs, the patient feels a sense of tightness, as if the chest is being squeezed hard or a heavy object is pressing on the chest, which is particularly uncomfortable.

Secondly, the feeling of suffocation, because the chest feels squeezed or pressed by a heavy object, the second feeling of angina pectoris is suffocation and difficulty breathing.

Third, if the attack occurs during sleep, one will feel as if one is having a nightmare. After waking up, the person will experience symptoms such as accelerated heartbeat, cold hands and feet, pale face, and profuse sweating.

Fourth, many people will subconsciously take deep breaths when they experience symptoms such as abdominal pain, stomach pain, and stomach cramps, because deep breathing can relieve the pain caused by these symptoms. However, the symptoms of angina pectoris will not be alleviated or aggravated by changes in breathing or emotions, so this can also be used as a characteristic for judging angina pectoris.

Fifth, angina pectoris may also cause pain in the teeth, clavicle, and back.

There are many kinds of drugs for treating angina pectoris, the most commonly used are nitrates (such as nitroglycerin) and calcium channel blockers (such as hexinshuang). Nitroglycerin drugs relieve angina pectoris by relaxing vascular smooth muscle, especially the smooth muscle of small blood vessels, causing blood vessels to dilate. However, studies in recent years have found that although this type of drug can dilate blood vessels, it does not fundamentally improve vascular lesions. Moreover, the dilation is only temporary, so some patients still experience angina pectoris after taking the drug.

In addition to drug treatment, patients with obvious angina symptoms, severe myocardial ischemia, and coronary artery stenosis greater than 70% shown by coronary angiography should undergo interventional stenting treatment. The success rate of intervention is over 90%, but some patients still experience angina pectoris after interventional treatment. The reason may be restenosis of the coronary artery after intervention. According to clinical statistics, 25%-35% of patients will experience restenosis and recurrence of angina pectoris within 3-6 months of interventional treatment. Another reason is that the coronary arteries suffer vasospasm after being stimulated by factors such as temperature, exercise, and emotions.

Tongluo can dredge coronary artery blockage and relieve vascular spasm

Coronary artery blockage and coronary artery spasm are the main causes of angina pectoris, so the key to treatment is to clear the blockage and relieve spasm. Traditional Chinese medicine for clearing the meridians has the dual functions of clearing blood vessels and relieving spasm. For example, Tongxinluo Capsule uses leeches, earthworms, red peony root and other drugs that can dissolve blood stasis and unclog the meridians. It prevents the formation of atherosclerotic plaques by lowering blood lipids and reducing the deposition of lipids in blood vessel walls. It also treats angina pectoris by ablating plaques and unblocking coronary artery blockages.

The characteristic of Tongxinluo Capsule is that it uses scorpions, centipedes and cicada shells, which have the functions of clearing wind, relieving spasms and unblocking meridians. The advantage of using them together is that it relieves coronary artery spasm. The mechanism of relieving spasm is to improve endothelial dysfunction, reduce the level of vasoconstrictor endothelin (ET), and increase the level of vasodilator nitric oxide (NO), thereby regulating vasoconstriction function. Tongxinluo can not only unclog coronary artery blockages, but also relieve vascular spasms, so Tongxinluo must be chosen as a traditional Chinese medicine for the treatment of angina pectoris.

Being heartbroken to the point of suffocation is not only an expression of emotion, but sometimes it is also a true portrayal. Only those who have suffered from angina pectoris can understand the pain that is about to burst out but cannot be expressed in words. Although the pain of family members cannot be shared, if we can find some clues from the detailed changes in family members, we can also prevent some tragedies from happening.
