Generally speaking, when we always feel chest tightness, chest pain, sweating, or these discomforts sometimes last for a while and then reappear suddenly, many friends will associate them with heart problems, fearing that their health will What big problem has arisen? So, what is the cause of frequent chest tightness and chest pain? Let’s find out together below, don’t scare yourself.
I often have chest tightness and chest pain. What is it related to?
There is indeed a certain connection with the heart. Angina pectoris is a common condition that causes chest pain. When this happens, your body is actually reminding you that your heart is already suffering from ischemia and there is a problem with your blood vessels. Generally speaking, the nature of this pain is squeezing pain like squeezing the heart with hands, and sometimes it spreads from the chest to the back.
If this is the reason, it is recommended to check the electrocardiogram early when it occurs for the first time, make further judgments and take targeted mitigation measures. If it is an "old patient", you should pay more attention. If you obviously feel that this time is different from before, and it lasts for a long time, It is difficult to relieve for a long time and needs to be seen immediately.
However, after checking the electrocardiogram, many people are only told that they need to pay attention to rest and regulate their emotions. But why are there no problems when they clearly have palpitation and chest tightness? This is a phenomenon in which the functions of the autonomic nerves and are disordered. The sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves are abnormal. Especially at night, if the function of the parasympathetic nerves controlling the heart is increased, it will easily cause transient arrhythmias such as rapid heartbeat, chest tightness and chest pain. . For this type of people, they should avoid overexertion and staying up late, pay attention to relieving stress, and ensure adequate sleep. As neuroregulation gradually becomes normal, this discomfort may be effectively alleviated, and the quality of sleep will also improve. improve.
may also be related to anxiety. Anxiety can also cause chest pain and tightness, and there may also be abnormal electrocardiogram performance. Anxiety itself is a mental problem, but it can also affect physical health. You might as well take a test to see how anxious you are. To what extent? Are you particularly reluctant to go somewhere because of anxiety? Are you particularly reluctant to do something or see someone because of anxiety? If it happens often, it may lead to obvious anxiety.
However, everyone must realize objectively that mental and psychological problems are not "sick in the brain" or "vulnerable". In fact, the nerves are temporarily out of balance, and can quickly return to normal after effective relief. It is recommended that everyone learn to release stress and regulate themselves. If you are a little anxious, you might as well go out for a half-hour walk immediately, and you may feel better.
You should also consider the health of your lower lungs. If there is an abnormality here that affects the pleura or compresses the nerves, you will also feel chest tightness and pain, which will most likely be accompanied by coughing and breathlessness. If you find that you are easily breathless while walking. , or if you have a chronic cough for more than 3 weeks and start to feel chest pain, it is recommended to have your lungs checked.
To sum up, frequent chest tightness and chest pain may be related to the heart, but it is not necessarily the cause. Anxiety, abnormal regulation of autonomic nerves, and lung health may all be factors that need to be considered. Don’t scare yourself first. Find the right cause, learn to distinguish it, and alleviate it in time, which may lead to better improvement.
