Patient's question:
Approximately a year ago, I started having trouble sleeping all night whenever something went wrong. Now, I often experience palpitations and a feeling of tightness in my chest, especially severely every morning. I heard from others that it might be due to myocardial ischemia caused by neurasthenia. Doctor, is myocardial ischemia serious? Can it be cured?Doctor's answer:
Myocardial ischemia is a relatively serious condition, often associated with coronary heart disease. However, whether the patient's current condition is indeed myocardial ischemia cannot be fully confirmed, as it may also be a manifestation of cardiac neurosis caused by long-term nervous exhaustion and mental tension. The patient still needs to visit the cardiology department of the hospital for thorough examinations such as an electrocardiogram (ECG) and echocardiography. Based on the examination results, consult your attending physician. If the examination does not reveal any organic diseases, it is necessary to return to the neurology department of the hospital for follow-up.
