Chest pain when doing activities

Myocardial ischemia is a relatively common heart disease. When suffering from myocardial ischemia, it will have a great impact on the patient's daily life and work. Patients with myocardial ischemia should go to the hospital for treatment in time and arrange a reasonable diet in life. Good eating habits are also very helpful in relieving the symptoms of myocardial ischemia. At the same time, you should also pay attention to getting more rest and your emotions should not fluctuate too much.

Chest pain during activities is considered to be caused by myocardial ischemia, and may cause chest tightness, shortness of breath, and chest pain. Symptoms will worsen after excessive fatigue. It is recommended to eat a light and soft diet, avoid strenuous exercise, go to a regular hospital for examination in time, identify the cause of the disease, receive targeted treatment, and pay attention to rest.

Symptoms of myocardial ischemia:

1. Chest pain that tends to occur in the early morning should be paid special attention to around 6 a.m. Some elderly people endure the condition silently because they don’t want to disturb their family members, which can easily delay their illness.

2. Pain with a sense of oppression The chest pain symptoms of myocardial ischemia are a feeling of tightness, oppression or heaviness in the chest, often accompanied by anxiety or fear. Atypical manifestations include burning discomfort or dull pain in the chest.

3. Very similar to stomachache, the pain is located behind the sternum, slightly to the left or right, and the pain range is about the size of the palm. About half of the patients have chest pain that radiates to other parts of the body, such as the left shoulder, left arm, and inner side of the fingers. Also be aware that pain can sometimes occur in the upper abdomen, accompanied by nausea and vomiting, much like stomach pain.

4. Most chest pain symptoms caused by myocardial ischemia can be relieved. Generally, this type of pain attack can be quickly relieved by resting, removing the inducing factors, or taking nitroglycerin sublingually. However, if the pain is not relieved after taking nitroglycerin sublingually 2 to 3 times or spraying it in the mouth multiple times, it may be an acute myocardial infarction.
