Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling uncomfortable with my heart and I'm worried that I might die suddenly from it. Does uncomfortable heart feel cause sudden death?Doctor's answer:
If you have recently been under significant work pressure, feeling tense, and have had insufficient sleep, leading to discomfort in the chest area, there is no need to worry too much. If you frequently experience palpitations, chest tightness, chest pain, accompanied by heavy sweating, it is best to go to the hospital for an electrocardiogram (ECG) and check for cardiac markers to assess the condition of your heart. For older patients with coronary heart disease, the diagnosis still needs to be confirmed through coronary angiography. Regular check-ups, controlling blood lipids and blood sugar, quitting smoking and alcohol, and engaging in appropriate physical exercise can help prevent coronary heart disease.
