Is it serious to find severe myocardial ischemia at the age of 23?

Patient's question:

These past few days, I haven't been sick, but I feel a tightness in my chest and occasionally experience sharp pain. I quickly went to the hospital for a physical examination, and the results showed that I have myocardial ischemia. I want to understand from the doctor, is it serious to find myocardial ischemia at the age of 23? How should it be treated?

Doctor's answer:

It could be caused by high blood pressure, high blood lipids, or high blood sugar, or it might be due to a dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system. Since you are 23 years old, poor sleep, tension, fatigue, and anemia have affected your heart's blood supply, leading to the recurrence of symptoms of myocardial ischemia. If you don't smoke, have no family history of hypertension, diabetes, or coronary heart disease, the likelihood of organic heart disease is relatively low. Stay in a positive mood and work together with your doctor in treatment. You should recover quickly.
