Patient's question:
My father has coronary heart disease, and he experiences severe episodes of the illness every year, requiring hospital treatment. Recently, his condition has been deteriorating, and the doctor has said he has a relatively severe form of coronary heart disease. I want to know if coronary heart disease is considered a serious illness?Doctor's answer:
In the case of a myocardial infarction, it should be considered a serious illness. Therefore, if symptoms of coronary heart disease reappear, timely treatment is necessary. Appropriate diet is essential, controlling the intake of high-fat and high-cholesterol foods, avoiding partiality in eating, and regulating calorie intake to prevent weight gain. A regular lifestyle is important, avoiding excessive stress and maintaining stable emotions. Deep sleep should also always be ensured. The mood should always remain relaxed and joyful.
