Health for All says
Coronary heart disease is a common heart disease that is caused by insufficient blood supply to the coronary arteries. When the walls of the blood vessels in the coronary arteries become atherosclerosis, narrowing or blockage, the blood and oxygen** received by the heart muscle decreases, resulting in insufficient blood supply to the heart, which is the pathogenesis of coronary heart disease. The clinical manifestations of coronary heart disease vary, but there are some signs that we should not ignore, as they may indicate an exacerbation of coronary heart disease and the need for early medical examination.
1.Worsening chest tightness or pain: People with coronary heart disease often experience chest tightness or pain due to insufficient blood supply to the heart muscle. When coronary heart disease worsens, the degree and frequency of chest tightness or pain also increases. Patients may experience chest tightness and shortness of breath or angina-like pain, which is an important sign of worsening coronary heart disease.
2.Worsening palpitations or arrhythmias: When coronary heart disease worsens, insufficient blood supply to the heart muscle can lead to impaired heart function, irregular heartbeats, and increased arrhythmias. Patients may experience restless heart palpitations and sometimes even palpitations or rapid heartbeat. This is a sign that needs to be taken seriously and may mean that coronary heart disease is getting worse and should be checked by a doctor as soon as possible.
3.Nausea, vomiting or loss of appetite: When coronary heart disease worsens, the lack of blood supply to the heart affects the blood supply to the stomach**, leading to digestive dysfunction. Patients may experience digestive symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, or loss of appetite. The link between these symptoms and heart disease is not obvious and is easy to overlook, but for people with coronary heart disease, they may suggest an exacerbation of coronary heart disease.
4.Edema or weight gain: When coronary heart disease worsens, the heart activity is weakened and blood circulation is blocked, resulting in excess fluid retention in the body. As a result, people with coronary heart disease may experience edema, particularly in the legs, ankles, and abdomen. At the same time, there is also a significant increase in body weight due to fluid retention in the body. This is a sign of worsening coronary heart disease and the need for prompt medical attention.
5.Difficulty breathing or nocturnal asphyxia: When coronary heart disease worsens, the lack of blood supply to the heart affects blood circulation to the lungs, leading to pulmonary edema, which in turn causes dyspnea or nocturnal suffocation. Patients may experience shortness of breath, especially when moving or lying down. This is a significant sign of an exacerbation of coronary heart disease and requires prompt medical attention.
The consequences of aggravation of coronary heart disease are serious, and it may lead to serious consequences such as myocardial infarction. Therefore, in order to detect and exacerbate coronary heart disease early, we need to pay close attention to the above signals and seek medical attention in time for examination. When coronary heart disease is aggravated, traditional Chinese medicine has unique advantages and curative effects.
According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, coronary heart disease can be classified as "phlegm and stasis intertwined", "qi stagnation and blood stasis" and other pathogenesis. Therefore, when coronary heart disease is aggravated, traditional Chinese medicine often adopts the method of invigorating blood and removing stasis, and dissolving phlegm. Specific TCM formulas include peach kernel, safflower, salvia, Chuanxiong and other drugs, which can improve blood circulation, promote increased coronary blood flow, and alleviate symptoms of insufficient blood supply to the heart.
In addition, TCM can also increase the metabolic level of the myocardium, increase the tolerance of the heart, and reduce the risk of unstable heart function. In clinical practice, we can also combine acupuncture, massage and other physical ** to promote the flow of qi and blood, regulate cardiovascular function, and achieve the effect of aggravation of coronary heart disease.
In conclusion, the signs of an exacerbation of coronary heart disease should not be ignored, they may indicate an exacerbation of heart disease and need to be checked by a doctor in time. At the same time, traditional Chinese medicine has a unique effect in the aggravation of coronary heart disease, which can help restore heart function, prevent and alleviate the disease. However, before using TCM** for an exacerbation of coronary heart disease, you should consult the advice of a professional doctor and follow the doctor's guidance**.
