Heartache and breathing difficulties

The heart is an important part of the human body. If there are certain problems with the heart, the impact on the person can even be fatal. Therefore, if there are problems with the heart, such as heart discomfort, difficulty breathing, etc., you must go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time. In addition, when you have a heart attack, if you have medicine with you, you must take it in time to relieve the pain. In daily life, diet and sleep also require special attention.

1. If you have any medicine, you must take it

Patients with angina pectoris can place a tablet of nitroglycerin under the tongue or take it sublingually. They can also take Quick-Acting Heart-Saving Pills or Compound Danshen Pills sublingually. This method can effectively improve the symptoms of angina pectoris. Please note that you can only take one tablet of nitroglycerin at a time. If the pain is not relieved, you can take another tablet every 5 minutes. Do not take more than 3 tablets continuously. What should I do if I suddenly have angina pectoris and I don’t have medicine with me? Don't be anxious at this time, relax and rest, and the pain will ease.

2. Seek medical treatment promptly

If you have difficulty breathing or feel uncomfortable in your heart, you should go to a regular tertiary hospital for treatment and have an electrocardiogram, cardiac ultrasound, etc. to confirm the type of disease. If the breathing difficulties and heart discomfort are determined to be caused by heart function, you must pay attention to your diet, control your emotions, and take medication as prescribed by your doctor.

If you experience difficulty breathing or heart discomfort, it is best to seek medical attention in a timely manner to understand the cause and receive symptomatic treatment. If you have difficulty breathing and heart discomfort, you should go to a regular tertiary hospital for treatment. Since you are accompanied by palpitations and heart palpitations, you should do an electrocardiogram, cardiac ultrasound, etc. to rule out coronary heart disease, cardiomyopathy and other heart diseases. If necessary, you can do a flat-panel electrocardiogram, dual-source CT, or even coronary angiography to confirm the diagnosis. In addition, patients should also undergo a chest X-ray to preliminarily rule out chest tightness caused by lung disease. Finally, if all tests are negative, consider the possibility of neurosis.

3. Pay attention to diet and ensure sleep

If breathing difficulties and heart discomfort are determined to be caused by heart function, you must pay attention to eating a nutritious, easily digestible, low-salt diet, eat small meals frequently, and lead a regular life. If heart failure occurs, the amount of water you drink should be limited to avoid drinking too much water which increases blood volume and worsens heart failure. You should also pay attention to controlling your emotions, ensuring sleep, not staying up late, exercising moderately, and avoiding overwork. At the same time, you must strictly follow the doctor's orders, insist on taking medications, and never stop taking medications on your own to prevent a sudden worsening of heart disease.
