Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I've been feeling uncomfortable with 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. Could you please tell me what are the early symptoms of coronary heart disease?Doctor's answer:
The full name of this coronary heart disease is called coronary atherosclerotic heart disease. Since it is caused by atherosclerosis of the arteries, the main symptoms are myocardial ischemia and shortness of breath. People with this disease often experience recurrence during physical exercise or emotional excitement, feeling pain or tightness in the chest area. Some symptoms may be mild, such as discomfort in the chest area, palpitations, or fatigue. If your brother may have this disease, it is important to visit the cardiology department promptly for tests like an electrocardiogram and echocardiogram to conduct a thorough examination and diagnosis.
