Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I've been feeling uncomfortable in my heart. Although I often take medication to control it, the effect is not obvious. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they also prescribed medication. I'd like to ask, how should elderly patients with coronary atherosclerotic heart disease be treated?Doctor's answer:
Older people suffering from these diseases should prioritize treating pneumonia first. If there is inflammation in the lungs, it directly interferes with other diseases, and it is best to be hospitalized for intravenous drip treatment to address symptoms. While being treated, blood pressure, blood sugar, and heart rate should be monitored. Combined with clinical diagnosis, lab test results, and thorough examinations, a treatment plan should be selected. Daily diet should be regular, avoiding extremely cold, spicy, and irritating foods. A low-salt, low-fat, light diet is recommended. Eat small meals frequently to prevent overeating, and develop good eating and lifestyle habits.
