Blockage of the heart's aorta

Blockage of the heart's aorta can cause stabbing pain in our heart, and it cannot be relieved well. When we experience chest tightness, we must go to the cardiology department for diagnosis and treatment in time to eliminate the risk of disease. Aortic obstruction is a relatively serious disease that may even require surgical treatment. Patients may also suffer from psychological risks, so they should pay attention to physical maintenance. So, what are the symptoms of aortic obstruction?

1. Sudden chest tightness or pain

Patients may find that their heart function deteriorates during exercise. Symptoms of chest tightness may also occur when you are angry, nervous or stressed. Another obvious sign is angina pectoris, which often occurs during labor or emotional excitement. There will be a feeling of chest squeezing. The pain usually starts behind the sternum, but may also occur in the arms, shoulders, neck, jaw, throat or back, and sometimes even indigestion.

2. You will feel breathless after exercise and it is difficult to calm down

For example, in the past, after a break from exercise, my panting would subside, but recently, my panting after exercise has been unbearable and takes a long time to recover. If the frequency of this happens becomes higher and higher, I should go to the hospital to check if there is a problem with my blood vessels.

3. Sudden weakness or numbness in one hand or foot

This is one of the common symptoms of transient ischemic attack, commonly known as "mini-stroke", which usually includes abnormal sensation on half of the face or hands and feet. Symptoms such as crooked mouth, squinting eyes, drooling, and difficulty swallowing may occur. Mini-stroke symptoms are usually short-lived and can easily go unnoticed if not treated promptly and properly. The chance of having a stroke later on is higher.

4. Temporary blindness in one eye

Common and obvious symptoms of a minor stroke are temporary unilateral blurred vision, or even sudden blindness in one eye, which then returns to normal after about a few minutes. Other symptoms include partial loss of visual field, unequal pupil sizes, droopy eyelids and double vision.

5. Uncontrollable hand tremors

When picking up food, the hands keep shaking, the eyelids are twitching, the corners of the mouth are twitching, and there are symptoms such as transient mental disorder, aphasia, dyslexia, and loss of sense of direction. In addition, there are some rare symptoms such as tinnitus, vomiting, hiccups, drowsiness, sudden loss of hearing and unsteady walking. Some people may also experience indigestion, nausea, and vomiting, but gastroscopy cannot find the cause. These may actually be caused by cardiovascular stenosis.
