Left chest tightness and back pain

Dull pain in the left chest and back are typical manifestations of heart disease. For example, sinus arrhythmia can often cause this condition. In addition, you should also be alert to coronary heart disease and myocardial infarction. At this time, you should perform a dynamic electrocardiogram examination in time and take medication in time to prevent more serious situations. In daily life, you should get enough rest and maintain a good attitude.

Left chest tightness and back pain

Sinus arrhythmia can be physiological, more common in young people, sometimes staying up late or being nervous.

It is recommended not to worry. If this is angina pectoris, one is that the age is not similar, and the other is that you can do a 24-hour dynamic electrocardiogram for differential diagnosis.

What is sinus arrhythmia?

We need to know that the heartbeat is caused by the stimulation signal sent by the "sinoatrial node" transmitted through the conduction system, reaching the atria and ventricles in turn within a certain time range. After receiving the instructions, the atria and ventricles contract and relax.

The regular heart beat caused by the commands issued by the "sinoatrial node" is called "sinus rhythm", while "sinus arrhythmia" is caused by irregular commands issued by the "sinoatrial node", which are sometimes fast and sometimes slow.

"Sinus arrhythmia" is divided into respiratory and non-respiratory. Respiratory arrhythmia generally slows down during exhalation, speeds up during inhalation, and becomes regular during breath holding. This type of sinus arrhythmia mainly occurs in young children and adolescents and is rare in middle-aged people.

Non-respiratory sinus arrhythmia has nothing to do with breathing and is generally related to ventricular contraction and blood ejection. This type of arrhythmia requires symptomatic treatment of the primary disease, and this type of sinus arrhythmia is common in elderly people with heart disease.

Sinus arrhythmia in young children and adolescents is mostly respiratory. Young children cannot express themselves accurately and often lack a subjective description; while some older children and adolescents may describe symptoms such as chest tightness, panic, palpitations, and discomfort.

Since "respiratory sinus arrhythmia" is a normal physiological phenomenon, it has no clinical significance.

What should I do if I have arrhythmia accompanied by chest tightness and palpitations and cannot find the cause?

Some teenagers subjectively feel that the symptoms of chest tightness, panic, and palpitations are very serious, often accompanied by a feeling of suffocation, and feel bursts of heart pain, shortness of breath, etc. At one point, they thought they had heart problems and believed it without a doubt.

In addition, the electrocardiogram showed "sinus arrhythmia", which further confirmed his speculation. He believes that he has a heart disease and that he cannot get angry or upset. Once he gets angry, the disease will relapse and he will feel heartache and unable to breathe.

When your subconscious mind tells you that you have heart problems, every time you are stimulated you will have a stress response and you will feel that the symptoms are becoming more and more obvious.

When this self-awareness deepens, the self feels very painful. Because the patient does not have any substantial physiological organ damage, the cause cannot be found during examination. When one is deeply trapped in this pain and cannot get out of it, one can seek help from a psychologist. After cooperating with a psychologist for psychotherapy, this situation will disappear and will be cured naturally.

Of course, if you feel that your symptoms are not serious, or even if you have no symptoms, there is no need for psychological intervention. You just need to pay more attention to your daily living and diet and maintain a good attitude to restore your normal heart rhythm.
