Patient's question:
My father has been suffering from high blood pressure for a while. Last night, he called me and said that he often feels chest tightness when sleeping and can't sleep peacefully. I looked up some information, but I couldn't figure out what the cause was. Hello, what should I do about my father's high blood pressure and chest tightness?Doctor's answer:
If this kind of chest tightness reappears while taking a nap, you have a history of high blood pressure. In such cases, it is essential to rule out coronary heart disease and myocardial infarction. For this situation, the first step is to rule out acute myocardial infarction. In this case, it is recommended to go to the cardiology department of your local hospital and be admitted for standardized treatment. You need to have a thorough examination, including an electrocardiogram and blood tests. In daily life, it is crucial to control blood pressure well, including managing many aspects of your diet. It is still about receiving standardized treatment.
