Patient's question:
Doctor, I may be experiencing a lot of work pressure recently. I always feel a sense of stuffiness in my chest and discomfort. Sometimes I find it hard to breathe smoothly. In addition to sharp pain in my chest, I've heard it could be angina. So, I wanted to ask you, doctor, is this likely angina?Doctor's answer:
Multiple occurrences of chest tightness and shortness of breath, with sharp chest pain, may be manifestations of myocardial ischemia. This condition is likely related to your high work pressure, mental tension, and poor rest. It is recommended that you promptly visit a hospital for relevant examinations, including an electrocardiogram (ECG) and echocardiography, to identify the underlying cause and receive targeted treatment to avoid missing the opportunity for timely intervention and worsening of the condition. In daily life, pay attention to rest, prevent excessive fatigue, ensure sufficient deep sleep, and maintain a balanced work-life rhythm while cultivating healthy living habits.
