Patient's question:
Recently, for some reason, I've been feeling discomfort in my heart. Although I often take medication to control it, the effect isn't very noticeable. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they also prescribed medication. Could you please tell me how myocardial ischemia is caused?Doctor's answer:
You have experienced chest pain, palpitations, and shortness of breath recently after feeling fatigued. Detailed examinations at the hospital indicated myocardial ischemia, suggesting you have coronary heart disease and poor blood supply to the heart. The coronary arteries, which supply blood to the heart, have atherosclerotic plaques caused by cholesterol deposits. This may be related to your frequent consumption of greasy foods. You can revisit the cardiology department of the hospital and ask the doctor to prescribe medication to stabilize blood supply to the heart. Avoid smoking and drinking beer, and maintain a light diet as the foundation of your daily meals.
