Patient's question:
My friend has been experiencing frequent dizziness, dry vomiting, and a sense of anxiety recently. They suspect it might be coronary heart disease and are feeling quite troubled. They want to know what the early symptoms of coronary heart disease are.Doctor's answer:
The early symptoms of coronary heart disease include chest tightness, shortness of breath, heavy breathing after exercise, and the need for rest when climbing stairs. The incidence and mortality rates of coronary heart disease are very high. It is generally caused by the recurrence of atherosclerosis in the coronary arteries that supply blood to the heart, leading to reduced vascular elasticity and narrowed lumen, resulting in insufficient blood supply to the heart. Therefore, the full name of coronary heart disease is coronary atherosclerotic heart disease.The dangers of coronary heart disease, in addition to potentially causing angina and myocardial infarction, can also lead to various arrhythmias, cardiac enlargement, and heart failure due to myocardial ischemia. Early detection and timely treatment are crucial. Diagnostic tests such as echocardiography and coronary angiography should be performed to confirm the diagnosis, followed by appropriate treatment, blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol control, a diet low in greasy foods, taking medication on schedule, and regular check-ups.
