Just a few days after the Spring Festival, everyone has not yet returned to normal from the Taste of the Year, but they heard the news of the death of Ming Jincheng, a well-known director in Taiwan. His wife revealed that her husband did not wake up that night, and the cause of death was speculated or a myocardial infarction.
The word "myocardial infarction" believes that everyone is not unfamiliar, and the popularization of medical knowledge has made more people understand the harm caused by cardiovascular diseases, even so, many people still do not pay attention to it at all.
Myocardial infarction is not sudden. Myocardial infarction is usually preceded by a premonition. The onset of this disease is mainly related to factors such as staying up late, strenuous exercise, or overwork.
In addition, if the patient itself suffers from some cardiovascular diseases, such as atherosclerosis, hyperlipidemia and hypertension, it is easy to cause atherosclerotic plaque to rupture and cause blood vessel blockage.
If the patient does not treat it in time, the condition will further aggravate and even lead to sudden death.
Therefore, usually pay attention to the observation of their own health status, once the following four abnormal situations appear, then you must go to the hospital as soon as possible to receive examination.
1. Heart failure
In daily life, the occurrence of myocardial infarction disease is likely to lead to heart failure in patients, of which the more common is left ventricular failure, which is mainly caused by decreased cardiac contractility.
It is understood that with the weakening of heart function, the compliance of the heart will decline, eventually causing heart failure, at this time most patients will have problems such as boredom, cough and breathing difficulties, and may even cause pulmonary edema when serious.
Second, toothache
Many times, if the patient has an oral disease, it is very likely that toothache will occur, but myocardial infarction problems may also cause symptoms of toothache.
Compared with toothache caused by oral diseases, cardiac toothache is difficult to find specific pain points, and cannot be relieved even if you take pain medications.
At the same time, this pain becomes more pronounced over time, which in turn affects the patient's life and work.
3. Inexplicable chest pain
The heart is mainly located inside the chest cavity, and no matter what happens in the heart area, it will cause various discomfort symptoms in the chest, the most common of which is pain.
It is understood that this chest pain is mainly concentrated in the chest and the front end of the heart. When the disease strikes, many patients do not have access to the specific pain state, so it is difficult to distinguish whether it is heart pain or stomach pain.
Compared with the latter, heart pain is mostly sudden, relatively short-lasting, mainly manifested as a momentary stinging, and can gradually return to normal after a period of rest, so that many patients will ignore it. Therefore, if similar symptoms occur later, special attention should be paid to going to the hospital as soon as possible for examination and treatment.
4. Abnormal headache
In daily life, if in the recent period, there are suddenly frequent headaches, then it is necessary to be particularly vigilant, which may be related to myocardial infarction. It should be known that myocardial infarction diseases can easily lead to problems with the hematopoietic function in the body, which in turn can cause insufficient blood supply. Over time, the brain will appear hypoxic and ischemic, which will cause headaches.
Often, this headache symptom is not predictable to attack, so patients are likely to ignore it, so that they miss the optimal treatment time and end up being life-threatening.
These are the four main signals that precede a myocardial infarction. Regarding this disease, patients should try to detect and treat it as early as possible to avoid further aggravation of the disease.
At the same time, patients can also prevent the disease through daily care. First of all, patients should change their habits of smoking and drinking in time to reduce the chance of illness.
Secondly, patients try to ensure a balanced diet, reduce fat and calorie intake, and eat more vitamin C-rich foods, such as fruits and green leafy vegetables.
