Easy mistake to make when you have chest pain


What do you do if chest pain, chest tightness and other symptoms occur in your life? Is the first time to the hospital, or endure to see, or think of yourself as "stomach disease", take some painkillers, see if you can "survive"?

Not knowing that a few hours of delay in going to the hospital will lose the best chance of treatment.

And this kind of situation is not uncommon in the doctor's ordinary treatment process. Some patients even suffered from serious conditions such as sudden death due to delayed medical treatment. Today, doctors are going to share with you the five worst mistakes you should not make when you have sudden chest pain.

Number one, alcoholism

Highly liquor, drink half a catty, which is a huge blow to the heart that is not healthy; The patient usually has symptoms of angina pectoris, indicating that the patient has serious stenosis of the heart vessels.

In the case of alcoholism, the myocardial oxygen consumption increases, the blood pressure fluctuates, and the sympathetic excitement is easy to lead to the rupture of cardiac vascular plaques, and then thrombosis, blocking blood vessels, causing heart attacks.

Second, usually have symptoms did not go to the doctor, did not communicate with the doctor

Patients usually have chest tightness, chest pain symptoms, mostly in the morning, after breakfast, and fast walking, climbing stairs, emotional excitement.

And rest for 3-5 minutes, the symptoms will disappear, after which normal activities are not affected, this is a very typical manifestation of angina pectoris, has not been paid attention to.

This aspect reflects the patient's lack of knowledge about angina.

On the other hand is overconfidence in their own health, think that their "good body", usually "cold, fever" are very few, how can there be coronary heart disease?

As everyone knows, "cold, fever" is not a risk factor for coronary heart disease, not to mention the symptoms of coronary heart disease.

And as long as there are "hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, obesity, smoking" and other risk factors, then "coronary heart disease" is likely to find you.

Third, there is chest tightness, chest pain but choose to endure, failed to "make a fuss"

Sometimes, chest pain can be fatal, such as acute heart attack, aortic dissection, pulmonary embolism, tension pneumothorax and other conditions can be fatal. Therefore, once you have chest pain, you must see a doctor at the first time, let the doctor help you judge the cause of chest pain, "early diagnosis, early treatment, early benefit."

Fourth, driving a private car to see a doctor, not the first time to call 120

This is common in patients with chest pain treated in emergency department. Statistics show that about 30% of patients with myocardial infarction choose to drive themselves to the hospital. And this choice is sometimes prone to regret.

Because, once there is a serious incident on the road, such as ventricular tachyventricular fibrillation, no professional electrical defibrillation equipment, professional ambulance personnel, it can be fatal.

The 120 medical staff can not only make the diagnosis and early treatment of typical myocardial infarction in time, but also move the rescue time and space forward to create conditions for subsequent rescue, at the same time, they can also send the patient to a hospital with the ability to save them for further treatment.

Fifth, the first visit to the hospital is the local town hospital

For example, acute and critical diseases do not have full treatment capacity in grass-roots hospitals.

In acute myocardial infarction, the main treatment goal is to quickly open blocked coronary arteries and restore myocardial blood supply. Most primary medical units do not have the objective conditions to open blocked arteries, and are prone to delay the opening of blood vessels, resulting in poor prognosis.
