Why does my heart hurt a little? Prevent diseases

The heart is the most important part of the human body. If there is a problem with the heart, it may threaten people's lives. Therefore, people must pay more attention to heart diseases. If they feel a little uncomfortable, they should go for examination and treatment in time. For some people who often experience heart pain, they must understand what causes it. So, the following will introduce to you what is going on when the heart hurts a little?

Pain in the heart area may be caused by a variety of reasons. To avoid delaying treatment, it is best to seek medical attention in time, find out the cause, and take targeted treatment measures. This pain may be related to organic heart disease, intercostal neuralgia, gastrointestinal diseases, excessive mental stress or anxiety, etc. It is impossible to judge based on symptoms alone. Consider electrocardiogram, stress test, cardiac color ultrasound, 64-row spiral CT and other examinations. If necessary, further coronary angiography is the gold standard for diagnosing coronary heart disease.

Factors such as age, medical history, symptoms, and physical signs are also important for understanding the cause of the patient's heart pain, but the severity of the symptoms is not directly related to the severity of the disease. Do not be careless and fail to seek medical treatment in time because the pain is mild. People under the age of 40 are generally less likely to develop coronary heart disease, and the pain symptoms may be caused by other reasons. If no obvious abnormalities are found in a comprehensive examination, the problem is generally not serious and no special treatment is required. Psychological counseling can be provided if necessary. The possibility of heart disease in middle-aged and elderly people is relatively high. If organic lesions are found during examination, active treatment is required to prevent the disease from progressing and affecting the patient's health.

Even if the pain in the heart area is not a serious problem, in order to avoid various cardiovascular diseases, you should start taking preventive measures and develop a good lifestyle from now on. The diet should be low in salt, fat and cholesterol, and spicy foods should be avoided. Quit smoking and drinking, ensure adequate rest, and avoid staying up late. Participate in physical exercise appropriately, do it according to your ability, and proceed step by step. Have regular physical examinations, maintain an optimistic and positive attitude, and it is best not to be too happy or too sad.
