Patient's question:
My father is 60 years old this year. Recently, his complexion has been particularly bad, and he often says he has some pain in his heart. I am very worried, so I took him to the hospital for a thorough examination. The results are particularly pessimistic. The doctor said my father has coronary heart disease, unstable angina, and high blood pressure. What should we do now?Doctor's answer:
Your father is getting older and has recently experienced symptoms of heart pain. A thorough examination at the hospital revealed that he suffers from coronary heart disease and high blood pressure. These are common cardiovascular diseases and are prevalent among the elderly. He has poor blood supply to the heart and needs to be taken seriously for treatment to prevent the condition from worsening and to avoid a heart attack. You can return to the hospital's cardiology department for follow-up, undergo further examinations such as an electrocardiogram and echocardiogram, and have the doctor prescribe medications to stabilize blood supply to the heart and lower blood pressure. Rest more during the day, avoid heavy labor, and do not smoke or drink beer.
