There is a feeling of pressure in the chest when lying down

People with poor heart conditions are prone to chest tightness or insomnia. Some people cannot sleep at night and lie flat on the bed. They always feel a sense of pressure in their chest and often feel their heartbeat accelerates. Some heart patients feel chest pain when they lie down, but not when they stand, so they dare not lie down. Nowadays, with the increase in the number of people with three highs, more and more people are suffering from heart disease due to insufficient blood supply to the myocardium. When you feel pressure in your chest while lying down, you must seek medical attention in time.

1. What is the reason for feeling pressure in the chest when lying down?

1. The possibility of heart disease is relatively high, which may be caused by insufficient blood supply to the myocardium. The main possibility is myocarditis. It is recommended that you go to the cardiology department to see a doctor for a check-up and have an electrocardiogram, cardiac ultrasound, and myocardial enzyme test. If necessary, a 24-hour dynamic electrocardiogram should be done to clarify the cause of the disease. After the diagnosis is confirmed, targeted treatment can be given. Do a good job in secondary prevention of coronary heart disease, avoid smoking and limit alcohol, eat a low-salt and low-fat diet, and exercise moderately. Eat a light diet to enhance nutrition and avoid spicy and irritating foods.

2. If you feel chest tightness, exclude organic diseases such as esophagitis, tracheitis, and gastritis. It is best to go to the hospital for an electrocardiogram, chest X-ray, gastroscopy, liver and gallbladder ultrasound, and blood routine check. If the results of all the tests are normal, it may be a psychological factor. It is caused by great psychological pressure. If all the examinations are normal, it is recommended to communicate with a psychologist and find an outlet for emotional release.

3. You can go to the cardiovascular department first. If there is no problem after the examination, it is recommended to check the psychiatric department. It is possible that it is a cardiac neurosis.

4. Because the possibility of heart and lung disease cannot be ruled out, but if there are dietary abnormalities, a gastrointestinal endoscopy should be performed at the same time. It is best to have an electrocardiogram, cardiac color ultrasound, and chest X-ray examination.

2. What to do if myocardial blood supply is insufficient

1. Ventilate more often, smoke and drink less, eat a light and low-salt diet, and control meat intake.

2. Have a good mood. When blood supply is insufficient, emotions are very important and you should not be easily angered or irritated. Family members should communicate more with patients. No matter what the disease is, mentality and mood are crucial, and they should give patients understanding.

3. If it is caused by other vascular diseases, you need to take corresponding medications. Remember one thing, you cannot stop taking the medication at will, and you must follow the doctor's advice. This type of medicine usually uses the constriction of blood vessels to achieve the purpose of lowering blood pressure and lipids. If the medicine is used at random and stopped frequently, the blood vessels will continue to expand and contract, and may burst, and in severe cases, cerebral hemorrhage may occur suddenly. Therefore, caution is required when taking or stopping medication.

4. If it is caused by thick blood, you should first inject drugs to open blood vessels intravenously, or you can take drugs to open the heart meridian orally. Drink plenty of water. Be sure to drink plenty of water. Water can promote blood circulation, help blood flow, prevent many vascular diseases, and prevent the accumulation of waste in blood vessels.
