I feel stuffy and painful in my chest

Some people often experience symptoms such as chest tightness, heartache, and chest congestion. In this case, it depends on whether there is a heart disease. It is not ruled out that the chest pain is caused by high blood pressure. After finding the cause and slowly treating it, recovery will be faster and some complications can be avoided.

prevention

1. Prevent colds and timely prevent and treat various respiratory diseases. For example, if you have repeated colds, you can regularly inject immunoglobulin or immunoglobulin G, and take some lung-nourishing Chinese medicine appropriately to enhance the body's disease resistance.

2. In warm and windy weather, go out to bask in the sun, take a walk, do some physical activities within your ability, or enhance your lung function. It is best to do 30 minutes of breathing exercises and deep breathing exercises every day. This can not only promote bronchial ventilation function, but also enhance the elasticity of alveoli and blood supply.

3. Pay attention to hygiene, proper nutrition, quit smoking, avoid staying in dusty places, and avoid contact with smoke and toxic gases that irritate the trachea and bronchi.

Coronary ischemia causes chest tightness first

Suffer from the disease in middle-aged and elderly people, with a trend of getting younger.

Chest tightness is a symptom that may occur in many diseases, but mainly in internal medicine diseases, the most common of which is cardiovascular disease. The incidence of sudden death from heart disease is higher in the cold winter, especially from December to February of the following year. In particular, the incidence of acute myocardial infarction increases significantly in continuous low temperature, rainy and windy weather. People in their forties and fifties should pay extra attention.

In the dead of winter, due to the stimulation of cold, the excitability of the body's sympathetic nervous system increases, and the secretion of fetal phenolamines in the body increases. The latter can cause the blood vessels in the limbs to contract, the heart rate to increase, the heart workload to increase, and the oxygen consumption to increase. At this time, the myocardium will suffer from ischemia and hypoxia, causing angina pectoris. Sympathetic nerve excitement and phenolamines themselves can also cause coronary artery spasm, blood concentration, and make platelets easily aggregate and form blood clots, which is also an important cause of myocardial infarction. In addition, because blood vessels contract at low temperatures, blood pressure is easily increased, which increases the burden on the heart, all of which may lead to sudden death from myocardial infarction.
