The heart is the "engine" of the human body, maintaining the normal work of the major systems of the human body and ensuring the life activities of the human body.
However, the emergence of heart disease has brought great distress to people and seriously threatened people's lives.
The incidence of heart disease is relatively high, and the causes of the disease are diverse, which may be affected by genetic factors or may be stimulated by the environment.
Heart disease is more common in the elderly population, people will decline in organ function after a certain age, we must attach great importance to the development of their own diseases.
The following are a few phenomena that may be the early stage of heart disease, to help the elderly to detect this disease in time to achieve early treatment and early control.
1. Snoring problem
Snoring is a sleeping habit that many people have, but people who snore for a long time have a much higher risk of heart disease than people who don't snore for a long time.
Because, the night is the most relaxed moment of the human body, all organs of the body will rest, if there is a snoring phenomenon, it means that the human heart is still working continuously, there is no proper rest, easy to cause a lot of heart disease.
Therefore, people who snore frequently can go to the hospital for an electrocardiogram to rule out the effects of heart disease.
2. Chest pain
The heart is located in the thoracic area, and people can clearly feel the heart beating violently when they are emotionally excited.
Heart disease can cause unsustainable pain around the chest, which relieves for a short time, but the body still feels uncomfortable.
Therefore, if the elderly often have chest pain symptoms in life, they must go to the hospital for examination in time to avoid further aggravation of the condition.
3. Tinnitus problem
Tinnitus is also a common adverse reaction in patients with heart disease, because heart disease will affect the contraction of the heart muscle, reduce the output of the heart, resulting in too slow blood circulation in the brain, and then ear problems.
The severity of tinnitus is generally related to the patient's degree of illness and autoimmunity. The physical fitness of the elderly is low, and after the appearance of tinnitus symptoms, it is relieved by drug treatment under the advice of a doctor and pays attention to the protection of heart disease in the later stages.
4. Shoulder pain
Before the elderly develop heart disease, the shoulder will be painful. Many people think that this is periarthritis of the shoulder, so they do not notice and are not treated in time.
However, in fact, shoulder pain caused by heart disease is different from frozen shoulder. Usually, the patient has paroxysmal pain in the left shoulder and left arm.
5. Difficulty breathing
In patients with heart disease, part of the heart function is impaired, and in the early stage of the disease, there will be different degrees of chest tightness and dyspnea due to insufficient cardiac motility.
Symptoms appear more frequently at night than at night, and the condition is appropriately alleviated when sitting and standing.
Older adults who find similar reactions in life should be vigilant, consider whether heart disease is triggered by the time, and pay attention to emotional control.
In summary, the elderly may have different degrees of adverse reactions in the early stage after suffering from heart disease, which should be paid attention to by people. However, there are many elderly people who feel that the examination is too troublesome and will not pay attention to it, which will not be conducive to the control of the disease.
The family of a heart disease patient should communicate more with the patient, help the patient maintain a positive and optimistic attitude, and actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment, avoid missing the best treatment time for the disease, and help the elderly patients recover their physical health as soon as possible.
