What are the early signs of myocardial infarction

The problem of myocardial infarction cannot be ignored, because once a myocardial infarction occurs, if it is not treated promptly and effectively, it will pose a great threat to the patient. Therefore, we must pay attention to understanding myocardial infarction and some early signs and manifestations, such as frequent body pain, sudden angina pain, difficulty breathing, profuse sweating, etc. We must be vigilant when such problems occur.

1. The patient experiences body pain when doing any physical activity or getting excited, and the pain disappears when he rests. An important characteristic of myocardial infarction is that it is related to fatigue. It is easy to get sick when you are tired, and it will get better after rest. The pain may not necessarily be in the heart-related area; it may be shoulder pain, back pain, stomach pain, or even toothache or diarrhea. But as long as the pain is related to fatigue, it is best to go to the hospital to check your heart.

2. Chronic patients with coronary heart disease may suddenly experience worsening angina pectoris and increased frequency of attacks. For example, if you could control angina pectoris by taking medicine once a day before, but now taking medicine twice a day still doesn’t work, or if medicine still can’t control it, you must be highly alert to myocardial infarction.

3. Without any warning, symptoms of palpitations and stuffiness suddenly appear. This shows that the patient's heart condition is already very bad and we must be vigilant.

4. The patient is not active and the weather is not hot, but he has difficulty breathing and sweats profusely. This should also alert you to myocardial infarction.

5. If you have chest pain at regular intervals every day, such as pain after eating or before resting, you should also be alert to myocardial infarction.

6. Patients who have never been diagnosed with heart disease suddenly and frequently experience symptoms such as chest pain and tightness. This is more common in young people. If young people work hard for a long time and stay up late all day, it is easy to cause sudden blockage of the cardiovascular system, trigger myocardial infarction, and the probability of sudden death is also high. Young people who often stay up late to surf the Internet or work night shifts must pay attention.
