Heart pain is a common symptom of coronary heart disease, and can save lives and mitigate heart damage at a critical time, with timely and accurate self-identification of heart pain and proper treatment. The self-identification and treatment of heart pain is described below.
I. Self-identification of heart pain
1. The pain area and extent: The typical pain part of the heart pain is mainly after the thorax, which can reach the frontal area of the heart, with an approximate palm size and less clearly defined boundaries. In some cases, pain is also emitted to the left shoulder, to the inside of the left arm, to the unnamed finger and to the small finger, or to the neck, ingest, and lower jaw. Not all the pain areas of patients are so typical that we need to be more vigilant because they may be characterized only by toothaches, abdominal pains, neck retrenchment, etc., and can be misdiagnosed as other diseases.
2. The nature of the pain: The pain in the heart is often of a strangulation nature, irritating or constricting nature, or can be accompanied by a fever, but generally not a needle or a knife cut. The pain is usually increased gradually and lasts 3 – 5 minutes at peak.
3. Inducing factors: physical labour, emotional agitation (e.g. anger, anxiety, excessive excavation), food, cold, smoking, etc. are common triggers. For example, when climbing the stairs, moving away, moving heavy loads, or suddenly having chest problems after arguing with people and watching exciting films, the possibility of heart pain is considered.
4. Mitigation: In general, when induced activity is stopped, the aorexia is gradually reduced. The pain can be reduced or disappeared after the majority of patients have a rest of 3 – 5 minutes, and pain can usually be significantly alleviated within 1 – 3 minutes after containing nitric acid glycerine under their tongue. If the pain persists for more than 15 – 20 minutes, even with the symptoms of sweating, dying, breathing difficulties, it may have occurred and require immediate medical attention.
II. Treatment in the event of a heart attack
1. Immediately rest: All activities in progress shall cease as soon as the symptoms of a heart attack are felt and shall sit or lie down. This reduces the oxygen consumption of the heart and relieves myocardiology. For example, in the process of walking, there is a need to find a safe place to sit and avoid accidental injuries from falling.
2. Drug mitigation: If you have nitrate glycerine next to you, you shall immediately have one piece of clothing under your tongue. Nitrate glycerine is capable of rapidly expanding the coronary artery and increasing the blood supply in the myocardial muscles, thus mitigating the symptoms of CPR. Care should be taken to keep the tablets under the tongue, not swallowing, so that the drugs can be absorbed directly into the blood through the plentiful veins of the tongue. It is best to lay down after the medicine is contained in order to prevent low blood pressure from causing a headache. If the pain remains unmitigated after five minutes, one more piece may be taken, but generally no more than three. Without nitric acid glycerine, 10 – 15 cylindrical veloculars can also be worn. The mechanism of action is similar to that of nitric acid glycerine, and there is some relief of the arrhythmia.
3. Call for first aid: The call for first aid personnel (e.g. call 120) should be made as soon as possible, while rest and medication are being provided. The dispatcher is informed of his symptoms, location and past medical history so that the first responder can arrive quickly and accurately and prepare for treatment accordingly. Even if the pain is mitigated by the medication, do not drive to the hospital on its own, as there may be another outbreak during the journey and it is difficult to obtain timely treatment in the event of an accident during the driving.
4. Stay calm: patients may feel nervous and fear when they have a heart attack, but excessive emotional volatility further increases the heart burden. Therefore, to try to stay calm and relax, it is possible to try to take a deep breath, slowly inhale and exhale in order to ease stress and reduce heart stress.
III. Measures to prevent heart attacks
1. Healthy lifestyles: Maintaining a reasonable diet, reducing intake of high fats, high cholesterol, high salt foods, eating more foods rich in foods, such as vegetables and fruits, and whole grains, which are rich in foods, which are rich in fibres; adequate exercise, with a minimum of 150 minutes of aerobics per week, such as walking, jogging, swimming, etc., with care to avoid overwork; cessation of alcohol use, smoking and overdrinking, which can cause damage to the cardiovascular system, and cessation of smoking and control of alcohol consumption, which can help to prevent cardiac pain.
2. Control of risk factors: Active treatment of basic diseases such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus, high blood resin, regular monitoring of blood pressure, sugar, blood resin levels and regular medications, as required by doctors, to keep the indicators within target. These diseases are an important risk factor for coronary heart disease and coronary throes, and they are effective in reducing the risk of heart pain.
3. Periodic medical examinations: periodic and comprehensive physical examinations, in particular of the cardiovascular system, such as EKG, cardiac ultrasound, coronary artery, etc. Medical examinations allow for early detection of heart problems and timely interventions to prevent anorexia and progress.
Self-identification and proper handling of heart pain are essential to the protection of heart health. Knowledge of the pain in the heart allows us to respond right at a critical time, to gain valuable time for our life and health, and to keep the heart in good condition by reducing the probability of the pain in the heart through proactive preventive measures.
