What to do if the heart is not getting enough blood? Experts teach you how to do it

Insufficient blood supply to the heart is very common, and patients should not worry too much. The most important thing in treating this disease is to improve daily diet, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, eat small meals frequently, live a regular life and exercise appropriately.

1. Myocardial insufficiency is a common disease, so don't be too nervous. The blood vessels that supply blood to the heart are called coronary arteries. They wrap around the heart like a hat and provide abundant blood supply. Because the heart has to supply blood to the entire body, it needs a lot of energy. Insufficient blood supply is caused by the narrowing of the inner diameter of some blood vessels due to various reasons, such as arteriosclerosis, or adhesion of substances such as fibrin and cholesterol on the inner wall of the blood vessel, which can make the blood vessel lumen smaller and reduce blood flow, which is commonly known as insufficient blood supply. If you have symptoms such as squeezing pain in the precordial area, chest tightness, or back pain, atypical stomach pain with or without cause that is not cured by stomach medicine, or unexplained toothache that is not cured by painkillers, you should pay attention to whether you have angina pectoris. If you have these symptoms, you should rest immediately and take quick-acting nitroglycerin sublingually to relieve the pain. Generally, the pain will be relieved within 3-5 minutes. Or get some oxygen. You can usually use some Xiaoxintong, compound danshen tablets, etc.

2. Insufficient blood supply to the heart is very likely to cause angina pectoris. Angina pectoris is a clinical syndrome caused by transient myocardial ischemia due to insufficient blood supply to the coronary arteries. The common cause is coronary atherosclerosis.

Insufficient blood supply to the heart affects heart function, and severe decline in heart function will affect blood supply to the whole body, including blood supply to the brain. Specific symptoms include decreased physical strength, decreased immunity, and reduced blood supply to the brain, which can cause dizziness and confusion (if standing, it is easy to fall and get injured)

The aging of the cardiovascular system in the elderly is the cause of increased blood pressure and orthostatic hypotension.
