Patient's question:
The old man was carefully examined this year and found to have died of a heart attack. I want to know what the mortality rate of a heart attack is? Is the treatment troublesome? Are there other treatment plans that can be tailored to the actual situation for the elderly? What precautions should be taken in daily life in the future?Doctor's answer:
The main symptom of a myocardial infarction is chest pain, which is more severe and lasts longer than angina pain, typically less than half an hour. There are also more accompanying symptoms, such as sweating, palpitations, nausea, and dry coughing. The pain is widespread and can affect the shoulders, back, upper limbs, throat, jaw, and upper abdomen. Patients often find it unbearable and may feel as if they are dying. It is necessary to be hospitalized promptly. If you have already been hospitalized, it is recommended to communicate with your doctor in a timely manner. He still understands your situation better.
