Atypical angina symptoms?

summary

Angina pectoris caused by atypical manifestations is called atypical angina pectoris. Some angina pectoris attacks last for a long time, and the effect of nitroglycerin is poor. It is clinically seen in patients with severe coronary artery disease; Myocardial infarction may occur. As long as the pain continues and the effect of nitroglycerin is not obvious, the patients should go to the hospital in time to avoid missing the best treatment opportunity.

Atypical angina symptoms?

Some angina attacks last for a long time, even more than 30 minutes. The effect of nitroglycerin is also poor, often taking two or three tablets can not see the effect, clinically seen in some patients with very serious coronary artery disease; Of course, there may be a very serious myocardial infarction. No matter what the reason, as long as the degree of pain, duration, containing nitroglycerin effect is not good patients, should be timely to the hospital, so as not to miss the opportunity of treatment.

Some patients, especially those with diabetes or the elderly, do not feel obvious pain when angina attacks, but show chest tightness. Suffocation, dyspnea, a few may also show a sense of throat obstruction, prone attack often forced to sit up, similar to heart failure attack, this situation is related to the temporary reduction of cardiac function caused by acute myocardial ischemia.

Some angina pectoris attack does not appear in the form of chest pain, but is manifested as: 1. Sudden arrhythmia (mild can appear all kinds of premature beats, bradycardia, conduction block, severe can occur sudden death due to serious arrhythmia). 2. Sudden new dysfunction: Patients with myocardial ischemia attack, a temporary decline in cardiac function, manifested as sudden dyspnea, can not lie down, severe with wheezing, sitting up or taking nitroglycerin can gradually relieve the symptoms. 3. Cerebral apoplexy: sudden dizziness, fatigue, drowsiness, weakness of one or one limb, common in patients with obvious cerebral arteriosclerosis, the reason is that patients with myocardial ischemia is the decline of heart function, leading to the further reduction of cerebral blood flow of crude oil supply disorders.

matters needing attention

The above special manifestations are mainly seen in patients over 80 years old or some diseases such as diabetes, cerebral arteriosclerosis, etc. these patients are often misdiagnosed as other diseases because of atypical symptoms.
