Summary: Myocardial infarction is a serious cardiovascular disease, which often has no obvious symptoms in the early stage of the disease, and once the condition is aggravated, it will have serious and life-threatening consequences. In order to prevent and improve myocardial infarction in time, this article introduces 6 unexpected signs of myocardial infarction from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine to help readers identify and take countermeasures early to save lives.
Myocardial infarction, also known as myocardial infarction, is a disease in which the blood supply to the heart muscle is insufficient or even necrotic due to blockage of the coronary arteries. In the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, myocardial infarction is mostly related to blood stasis, phlegm stasis, phlegm fever, etc. Experienced TCM physicians will use Chinese herbal therapy to help restore heart function according to the patient's condition and physical condition. However, before proceeding with TCM**, it is first necessary to identify the signs of myocardial infarction in time so that measures can be taken as soon as possible.
1.Persistent chest tightness: Chest tightness is one of the most common signs of a myocardial infarction, and the pain is often located behind the sternum or on both sides of the sternum and lasts for a long time. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that chest tightness is mostly related to qi stagnation and blood stasis, and needs to be relieved by traditional Chinese medicine that regulates qi and invigorates blood.
2.Nightmares and dreams: Dry mouth, dreams, and bad dreams are a common manifestation of heart attack. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that this is due to the restlessness caused by insufficient blood supply to the heart, which leads to restless dreams. Commonly used TCM methods** include nourishing the heart, calming the mind, etc.
3.Fatigue: People with a heart attack often feel weak, listless, or even unable to carry out normal daily activities. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that this is because the heart function is impaired and it cannot effectively supply blood to the whole body, resulting in a lack of qi and blood. Traditional Chinese medicine** is often used to nourish qi and nourish blood.
4.Cold sweat: During a myocardial infarction, patients often experience cold sweating, especially on the forehead, temples and other areas. In traditional Chinese medicine, the appearance of cold sweat is related to the deficiency of heart yang and the decrease of circulatory function. Traditional Chinese medicine** is usually based on warming yang, invigorating blood and removing blood stasis.
5.Nausea and vomiting: During a myocardial infarction, patients often experience symptoms such as nausea and vomiting. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that this is due to blood stasis and phlegm stasis blockage, resulting in stomach disharmony and lowering. Traditional Chinese medicine** is mainly used to relieve phlegm and stasis, promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis.
6.Chills and fever: People with myocardial infarction often have symptoms of chills and fever, especially if the attack is more severe. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that this is related to phlegm and heat and poor circulation. Traditional Chinese medicine** is often based on clearing heat and detoxifying, channeling and activating blood.
Finally, it is important to emphasize that myocardial infarction is a serious cardiovascular disease and should be treated immediately and early** as soon as it occurs. The above signs of myocardial infarction are just some of the common manifestations, and the actual symptoms may vary in patients. Therefore, if you have symptoms that are suspected of a myocardial infarction, you must seek medical attention as soon as possible so that you can get an accurate diagnosis and an effective **.
