Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing chest pain and tightness in my chest. The hospital examination suggested a respiratory disease, but the medication hasn't been very effective. Recently, my cough has worsened. Can pulmonary heart disease be treated?Doctor's answer:
If it's cor pulmonale, it can be treated, but the main thing depends on the severity of the heart disease it causes. It is caused by long-term chronic bronchitis leading to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, which then results in heart disease caused by the lungs. For patients with cor pulmonale, it is essential to go to the cardiology department for professional treatment. However, self-healing may be relatively difficult. Actively participate in physical exercise, regulate physical and mental health, and maintain personal hygiene.
