Patient's question:
Doctor, I often experience symptoms such as a faster heartbeat, chest tightness, and difficulty breathing again. Because the hospital conducted a thorough examination and found that I have hypertensive heart disease. I'm very worried that I might not be able to recover. Hello, what are the symptoms of hypertensive heart disease?Doctor's answer:
General hypertensive heart disease typically presents with symptoms of hypertension, as long-term high blood pressure can lead to chest pain, increased heart rate, and a sense of tightness in the chest. In severe cases, it may result in heart failure. Therefore, patients with long-term hypertension who experience angina or heart failure may have heart disease caused by high blood pressure. Treatment for this condition primarily involves reducing blood pressure, decreasing the heart's afterload, and administering medications to support heart health.
