Are there any symptoms of cardiac ischemia?

Because the pressure of life is getting higher now, myocardial ischemia, which used to happen in middle-aged and elderly people, often occurs in young people. If it is not treated in time, it will not only pose a serious threat to life, but may also cause a variety of complications. Myocardial ischemia can cause difficulty breathing, dizziness, and long-term symptoms of chest tightness, as well as palpitations and shortness of breath. In order to prevent these symptoms from worsening, treatment is needed as soon as possible.

Two types of tests can be performed to determine myocardial ischemia

1. Chest tightness, palpitations, and shortness of breath, which relieve themselves during rest, are also common symptoms of myocardial ischemia.

2. Symptoms of myocardial ischemia also include palpitations, chest tightness, shortness of breath, or chest pain during sexual intercourse or straining to defecate.

3. Chest pain and palpitations when eating a full meal, in cold weather or watching thrilling movies may also be common symptoms of myocardial ischemia.

4. Patients with myocardial ischemia may also experience exercise-related headaches, toothaches, leg pains, etc.

5. When tired or mentally stressed, patients with myocardial ischemia may experience dull pain behind the sternum or in front of the heart, or tightness-like pain, which radiates to the left shoulder and left upper arm, lasting for 3-5 minutes and resolving on its own after rest. This is a common symptom of myocardial ischemia.

6. When the pillow is low when sleeping at night, you may feel chest tightness and shortness of breath. Patients with myocardial ischemia need to lie with a high pillow to feel comfortable. If you suddenly have chest pain, palpitations, or difficulty breathing when you are sleeping soundly or lying flat during the day, you need to sit up or stand up immediately to relieve the pain.
