Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing chest tightness, frequent coughing, fatigue, and other symptoms. It's definitely not coronary heart disease, right? What are the general templates for identifying and diagnosing coronary heart disease?Doctor's answer:
The identification and diagnosis of coronary heart disease generally require differentiation from rheumatic heart disease, heart failure, and pulmonary heart disease. Coronary heart disease may recur with chest pain and shortness of breath, necessitating a hospital visit for an electrocardiogram (ECG) and coronary angiography to clarify the specific type of the disease. Subsequently, appropriate medication should be determined. If coughing and excessive phlegm occur, it may be possible bronchitis or pharyngitis, requiring a hospital examination and treatment.
