Angina pectoris is a cardiovascular disease commonly found in middle-aged and elderly people. It has some specific symptoms, usually sudden and may have obvious inducing factors such as cold and emotional excitement. The relatively fixed position of angina pectoris may have serious consequences. Let’s learn about the symptoms, locations and possible consequences of angina pectoris.
What are the symptoms of angina pectoris?
Coronary heart disease is asymptomatic in the early stage, and blood vessels are blocked and narrowed in the later stage, which affects blood flow. Typical symptoms such as chest tightness , chest pain will appear. At this time, the condition is already serious. Some patients with atypical symptoms will experience toothache and sore throat, and some people will even experience pain on the side of the hand. Chest pain will be triggered when you are tired. Generally, the pain will not last too long, lasting for a few minutes to more than ten minutes. If it lasts for a long time, it is not angina pectoris, but a manifestation of myocardial infarction.
Where does angina pectoris occur?
Typical angina pectoris occurs in the pre-cardiac area, that is, the position of the palm size between the 3rd and 4th left edge of the sternum. In addition, pain below the chest and above the navel can be called chest pain, so in this case, it is necessary to distinguish whether it is stomachache or angina pectoris to avoid misjudgment and delay treatment. If you can't make a judgment on your own, you can find a professional doctor to make a judgment.
Will angina pectoris die suddenly?
Angina may lead to sudden death, and stable angina has changed from stable to unstable, indicating that the environment inside coronary artery has changed and progressed. It is believed that its pathological basis is plaque rupture, erosion, calcified nodules, etc. A blood clot forms in the coronary artery, and when the clot is unstable, it becomes larger and blocks blood vessels. Therefore, the treatment of unstable angina pectoris and is the same as myocardial infarction, and the drug treatment is basically the same.
After suffering from angina pectoris, you need to actively check and then perform corresponding treatment under the guidance of a professional doctor. If angina pectoris is not treated in time, it may cause serious consequences such as sudden death. Therefore, it is recommended that patients always prepare emergency medicines and try to avoid excessive emotional fluctuations.
