We often say to others, you don't understand my heart at all, so do we really understand our own heart?
Our heart is hidden deep in our chest, as the engine of the human body, it is constantly beating, maintaining the blood circulation of our whole body, its importance is self-evident.
It is precisely because the heart is so important that the occurrence of some heart diseases is often sudden and fatal, so we must understand our hearts, learn to listen to some of the "sounds" made by our hearts, find problems as soon as possible, and prevent problems before they occur.
The sound of the heart here does not simply refer to the sound of our heartbeat, but refers to the heart through a series of symptoms exhibited by the human body, which conveys to us the signal that there may be a disease.
01 The whisper of the heart — palpitations
The so-called palpitation is usually a subjective feeling, a feeling of discomfort or panic in the conscious beating of the heart.
Describe the feeling of palpitations is also different, such as the feeling of heart sinking, the feeling of heart vibration, the sense of impact, the sense of pause, and some people will feel that their heart is going to jump out of the throat, and the serious situation may also be accompanied by chest tightness, shortness of breath and even fainting.
Therefore, the severity of palpitations depends largely on the sensitivity of the population, and exercise, diet, mood swings, alcohol consumption and medication can induce or aggravate palpitations.
Palpitations occur in various types of arrhythmias, which may be diseases of the heart itself, or diseases outside the heart that affect the heart, of course, healthy people can also have palpitations during high-intensity physical activity or mental stress, as well as smoking, drinking alcohol, drinking strong tea, or applying certain drugs.
Palpitations in most cases the symptoms are relatively mild, it is like the heart's whispers, often overlooked, people often think that these are small things, in fact, "the heart is no small thing", if the palpitations frequent onset, you need to go to the hospital as soon as possible, clarify the cause, standardize treatment or improve lifestyle.
02 Heart groans — chest tightness, shortness of breath
We have the energy and physical strength to work, study and live, mainly thanks to our hearts.
It is like a never-ending engine, transporting fresh blood filled with oxygen to our whole body, and then recycling the blood that has been unloaded oxygen to the heart, reloading oxygen through the cardiopulmonary circulation, and so on, maintaining the blood circulation throughout our body.
However, our heart will also be tired, it will also be sick, this time it will become very weak, so that there is no strength to transport enough blood and oxygen to our whole body, at this time we will find that our activity endurance is significantly reduced, in the physical activity will appear chest tightness, shortness of breath, and even sleep at night chest tightness, shortness of breath, can not lie flat, need to be forced to sit up, may also be accompanied by bilateral lower limb edema, fatigue, dizziness and so on.
Once these conditions occur, we should realize that it may be that our heart is sick, we generally call heart failure, the heart after illness has been extremely tired, chest tightness, shortness of breath is the painful moaning sound it emits, we need to immediately seek medical treatment, clarify the cause, start standardized treatment, to improve our heart function, delay the progression of the disease.
03 The heart's emergency cry for help - sudden chest pain, chest tightness
In today's network is so developed, everyone may not be unfamiliar with "coronary heart disease", and mentioning "myocardial infarction" is even more discolored.
But in fact, the vast majority of people do not understand the common sense of myocardial infarction, and it is even more impossible to distinguish whether it is a myocardial infarction.
Although not all myocardial infarction attacks have aura, but most patients will have some warning symptoms before the attack, the most common is sudden chest pain, chest tightness, the pain site is not necessarily a heart-related part, may also be shoulder pain, back pain, stomach pain and even toothache, accompanied by irritability, sweating, fear or dying, which is also our heart is issuing an urgent cry for help.
Once these symptoms appear, there should be a high suspicion of acute myocardial infarction and immediate rest is required, then dial 120 and call an ambulance.
Although not all chest pain is myocardial infarction, but most of the occurrence of chest pain is some critical and severe disease, which may endanger life, so do not hesitate, do not endure, so as not to miss the best rescue time.
04 The sigh of the heart - cardiovascular neurosis
Most people may be unfamiliar with the name cardiovascular neurosis, but in fact this disease is not uncommon.
Patients with cardiovascular neuroses complain more often and are changeable, and there is a lack of intrinsic link between symptoms.
✅ Some people will feel palpitations, they will feel that the heart beats more; some people will feel chest tightness, difficulty breathing, feel that there is not enough air to open the window.
✅ Some people often do deep breathing or sighing breathing movements to relieve symptoms.
✅ Some people have pain in the precordial region, but the pain is not fixed, the labor activity is not related, more than the resting state attack, the nature of the pain is mostly needle-like, involved, generally longer lasting, lasting for several days or longer.
No matter what the symptoms are, they should not be taken lightly, and the premise of diagnosing cardiovascular neurosis is that organic heart disease must be excluded after a detailed examination.
The so-called "neurosis", in layman's terms, is that our heart is unhappy, it is making emotions, at this time we need to coax it, to adjust our own mentality, if necessary, we can appropriately apply anti-anxiety drugs, or psychological counseling, behavior correction and so on.
The heart is no small matter, any slight symptoms, may be transmitting the signal of potential disease, learn to listen to the voice of the heart, only to fully understand our heart, in order to better protect our heart, protect ourselves.
