Patient's question:
I have coronary heart disease and sometimes I get chest pain. I take nitroglycerin, and it never hurts anymore. But it keeps recurring after a while. It's terrifying to have such a disease, and I wonder if having coronary heart disease is very dangerous?Doctor's answer:
I have coronary heart disease, so I always stay alert. If I feel uncomfortable, I can go to the hospital for a thorough examination. Standard treatment for coronary heart disease requires attention to daily life, which will never be dangerous. If a recurrence is ignored, it is more likely to lead to another myocardial infarction, which may be life-threatening. Daily life should be regular, avoiding overexertion and excessive emotional excitement, irritability, colds, and other factors that may trigger recurrent angina or myocardial infarction. In terms of diet, it is best to avoid high-fat, high-cholesterol, and high-salt foods. Control your blood pressure to avoid high blood pressure again.
