There are several causes of angina, which are as follows:
Angina pectoris is a clinical syndrome caused by insufficient blood supply to the coronary arteries, acute temporary ischemia and hypoxia of the myocardium. After the vascular endothelium is damaged, the lipid components in the blood are deposited in the damaged area, forming atherosclerotic plaques, resulting in narrowing of the arterial lumen and insufficient blood and oxygen supply to the myocardium, which is the main cause of angina. Atherosclerosis may be associated with dyslipidemia, hypertension, diabetes and impaired glucose tolerance, obesity, etc.
In addition, angina has some common triggers, such as when climbing stairs, exercising, or walking, the heart needs more blood, and the blood vessels develop atherosclerosis, which leads to narrowing of the diameter of the tube, and the heart muscle cannot supply enough blood, which occurs angina. In addition, mood swings, cold, overeating, infection, hyperthyroidism, etc., will also increase the heart rate, increase myocardial oxygen consumption, and cause angina.
When there is a sudden sensation of dull pain in the retrosternal or precordial area, you should immediately rest and take nitroglycerin under the tongue. If the medication does not relieve after 10 minutes, you should call the emergency service immediately**. In remission, patients can take medications** as prescribed, such as Tongxinluo capsules. Tongxinluo Capsule is made of 12 kinds of traditional Chinese medicines, such as leech, frankincense, borneol, red peony, and whole scorpion.
It can not only prevent the formation of atherosclerotic plaques, but also play a stabilizing role in the already formed atherosclerotic plaques, and can improve the hardening of blood vessels, inhibit vasospasm, prevent the occurrence of coronary heart disease angina pectoris, and effectively relieve the symptoms of chest tightness, shortness of breath, angina pectoris, etc.
