Coronary heart disease, a disease that makes people smell and discolor, has become one of the common diseases of modern people. And the fear and pain of angina pectoris are unbearable for many patients with coronary heart disease. So, when angina attacks, how should patients with coronary heart disease save themselves in order to save the danger?
First of all, we need to understand the typical symptoms of angina. Angina pectoris usually presents as a feeling of pressure or pain in the chest that may radiate to the left shoulder, left arm, neck, jaw or upper abdomen. This pain usually lasts a few minutes and is relieved by rest or nitroglycerin.
When angina attacks, people with coronary heart disease should immediately stop the activities they are doing and sit down to rest. At the same time, nitroglycerin tablets can be taken sublingually, and the effect can be seen 1-2 minutes after taking it. If symptoms persist, you should immediately call the 120 emergency number for professional help.
In addition, patients with coronary heart disease should also do a good job of self-management to prevent the onset of angina. Include:
1. Eat a healthy diet: Eat a low-fat, low-salt, high-fiber diet with more vegetables, fruits, and whole grains, and reduce your intake of meat and fried foods.
2. Regular exercise: Engage in at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise per week, such as brisk walking, cycling, swimming, etc.
3. Control your weight: Maintain an appropriate weight and avoid obesity.
4. Quit smoking and limit alcohol: Nicotine and other harmful substances in tobacco can damage the blood vessels of the heart, and excessive alcohol will also increase the burden on the heart.
5. Manage stress: Learn to relax and de-stress, try deep breathing, meditation, yoga and other methods.
6. Regular physical examination: timely detection and control of chronic diseases such as hypertension and diabetes.
Patients with coronary heart disease can minimize the damage if they take effective measures quickly when they have angina pectoris. At the same time, self-management and prevention are equally important. Let's work together to protect the health of ourselves, our family and friends! #头条创作挑战赛#
