Why do I feel chest tightness after eating?

It is very common for people to encounter some special situations in their lives. Many people have experienced chest tightness after eating. However, most people who encounter this situation are very confused about it and don’t know what causes it. So, what is the reason for chest tightness after eating?

First, why do you feel chest tightness after eating? If you have chest tightness symptoms, you should be alert to the possibility of myocardial ischemia, myocardial strain, etc. It is recommended to check the myocardial enzyme spectrum, electrocardiogram, etc. You can also ask a Chinese medicine doctor to diagnose the specific symptoms, which may be caused by chest pain, qi stagnation, etc. Medication should be used only after a clear diagnosis. Myocardial strain refers to the long-term overworking of the myocardium under high load, such as excessive obesity, high blood pressure, work stress and high mental pressure, which lead to myocardial damage. At this time, the myocardium may be ischemic or have normal blood supply. If myocardial ischemia is confirmed, long-term development may lead to coronary heart disease, myocardial infarction, dilated cardiomyopathy, heart failure, heart failure, etc.

Second, in general, the elderly, people whose jobs require high mental stress and who exercise less, and obese patients with hyperlipidemia, if T wave changes occur, myocardial ischemia should be suspected, especially those who have had angina pectoris in the past. For young people, people whose work does not require excessive mental stress and whose blood lipid levels are normal, changes in T waves can be compared with previous electrocardiograms. If there are no obvious changes, they are of little significance. Myocardial strain is an electrocardiogram diagnosis, and myocardial strain itself may not have any symptoms. However, it can also occur in the context of cardiovascular diseases such as coronary heart disease and hypertension, and treatment depends on the underlying cause. If it is caused by coronary heart disease or angina pectoris, appropriate use of vasodilators such as nitroglycerin can be sufficient.
