What should you pay attention to when you have angina pectoris?

Generally, after an angina attack, the patient feels very intense pain in the heart, and it also causes pain in other parts of the body, so the patient will feel very painful. Because angina pectoris is a heart disease, it is easy to have more serious consequences if you are not careful. In severe cases, it can easily affect the patient's life. So, what should you pay attention to when you have angina pectoris?

1. Friends who suffer from angina pectoris should actively quit smoking. Smoking greatly increases the risk of acute myocardial infarction and increases the risk of death after coronary intervention by an average of 76%. Tobacco contains nitric oxide, carbon monoxide, free radicals and other substances that can damage endothelial function and increase blood viscosity, easily inducing or aggravating cardiovascular diseases.

2. Friends with angina pectoris should insist on exercising: regular exercise can reduce stress, control weight, and increase the amount of good cholesterol in the body, thereby preventing angina pectoris. When you feel tired from exercise, you should pay attention to rest and not overdo it: When angina pectoris occurs, you should sit down or lie down immediately. The mortality rate from coronary heart disease in people who do not exercise regularly is 1.9 times that of those who exercise regularly. Regular exercise can improve the body's endothelial function, enhance vasodilation and motor function, thereby alleviating the patient's symptoms. Friends with angina pectoris are advised to exercise for 30 minutes a day and at least 5 days a week. At the same time, friends with angina pectoris should lower their blood pressure: friends with angina pectoris should learn to check their blood pressure themselves. If they find that their blood pressure is high, they should take antihypertensive drugs under the guidance of a doctor and combine it with a reasonable lifestyle, diet and habits to lower their blood pressure.

3. Friends with angina pectoris can take aspirin: taking one tablet of aspirin a day can prevent platelet aggregation.

Patients with angina pectoris also need to pay special attention to their diet and avoid eating too much spicy and greasy food, foods with high cholesterol, pork and some hard and difficult to digest foods. Don’t eat too much at dinner, otherwise it will have a big impact!
