Patient's question:
Dad is a chef. He went for a thorough check-up because he wasn't feeling well. He was diagnosed with coronary heart disease. He feels chest tightness. How should one take care of themselves with coronary heart disease?Doctor's answer:
Under the premise of hospital treatment for patients with coronary heart disease, they can also decide on Chinese herbal formulas that nourish the heart muscle to implement the treatment. The main cause of coronary heart disease is atherosclerosis, and there are many reasons that lead to atherosclerosis, including high blood lipids, high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, smoking, etc. Among these, high blood lipids (mainly high cholesterol) are the second factor leading to atherosclerosis. First and foremost, it is essential to implement drug treatment in a long-term, regular manner under the guidance of a doctor, as drug treatment is the foundational therapy. Even after interventional and surgical treatment, standardized drug treatment should still be carried out to improve living environments. Avoid living in places with severe pollution and high noise levels, as these may lead to coronary heart disease.
