Why does my heart feel oppressed?

In daily life, our heart carries our life, but there are many reasons that may cause some damage to the heart. When these injuries are relatively minor, they may not attract our attention, but when these injuries accumulate to a certain extent, the heart will show some symptoms. For example, feeling a sense of pressure in the heart is a common symptom. So what is going on when the heart feels pressure?

1. Caused by coronary heart disease

Some patients with coronary heart disease do not have chest pain attacks, but only show various arrhythmias such as atrial fibrillation, premature ventricular contractions, atrioventricular block, or heart failure symptoms such as shortness of breath and paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea as the first symptoms. This is clinically called "arrhythmia and heart failure type coronary heart disease," a rare type of coronary heart disease.

A small number of patients with coronary heart disease, especially those with acute myocardial infarction, only show symptoms of cerebrovascular disease, such as dizziness, limb paralysis, sudden loss of consciousness, convulsions and other cerebral circulation disorders. The reason is that during myocardial infarction, cardiac output decreases, resulting in reduced blood supply to the brain, and severe arrhythmia often leads to reduced blood supply to the brain. Therefore, when elderly people have cerebrovascular manifestations, they should undergo an electrocardiogram and short-term follow-up to rule out the possibility of acute myocardial infarction.

suggestion:

Go to the hospital to do electrocardiogram, myocardial enzyme spectrum, blood sugar and blood lipids, chest X-ray and other tests to determine the cause of the disease, and take medicines such as Guanxin Danshen Capsules, Nicorandil, Liqi Shuxin Tablets, etc.

2. Caused by heart disease

Be alert to the possibility of myocardial ischemia, myocardial strain, etc.

suggestion;

Go to the hospital to check the myocardial enzyme spectrum, electrocardiogram, etc. You can also ask a Chinese medicine doctor to diagnose the specific symptoms, which may be caused by chest pain, qi stagnation, etc. Medication should be used only after a clear diagnosis.
