I often feel chest tightness and pain

Everyone is under great pressure in their daily life and work, and many people have bad living and eating habits, which can cause damage to their health. If you experience chest pain occasionally, it may be caused by the environment or mood. If you experience chest tightness and pain frequently, you should pay attention, because it may be caused by some disease.

Frequent feeling of chest tightness and pain may be caused by myocardial ischemia, myocardial strain, etc. It is recommended to do an electrocardiogram and check the myocardial enzyme spectrum for diagnosis.

Symptoms of myocardial ischemia

1. If you experience pain behind your sternum when you are nervous or feeling tired, and even your left shoulder and upper left arm are affected, then you may have myocardial ischemia. The pain may be different for each person, some may feel dull pain, while others may feel tight pain.

2. If you experience palpitations, chest tightness, and shortness of breath after physical labor or exercise, you should consider the possibility of myocardial ischemia. Generally, these uncomfortable symptoms can be effectively relieved after the patient rests.

3. If you experience chest tightness and pain after drinking, feeling cold, or eating, you should also be alert, because this is also an early symptom of myocardial ischemia.

4. Some people like to use a higher pillow when they sleep at night, thinking that it is more comfortable to sleep this way. Once they change to a low pillow, they will feel uncomfortable, chest tightness, and some shortness of breath. In fact, this may also be caused by myocardial ischemia, so you need to pay attention.

5. If you don’t do any heavy physical work or exercise, but just feel very tired and have no energy, you should also consider whether your myocardial ischemia has occurred.

6. Some patients with myocardial ischemia do not have typical symptoms. They may just feel uncomfortable in their stomach, feel nauseous, or have symptoms such as toothache and cervical pain. Generally, people do not associate these symptoms with myocardial ischemia.

7. It stands to reason that after having sex, a person should feel comfortable both physically and mentally, but some people may find that they experience chest pain, palpitations or shortness of breath after having sex. This may also be caused by myocardial ischemia. Sometimes these symptoms may also occur when too much force is exerted during defecation.
