summary

There are many times, the location of angina pain is not necessarily in the heart, often angina will be a large area of pain or pain in the chest, so it is difficult to determine whether it is angina or stomach pain. Chairman of Shanghai suburban cardiovascular disease symposium, some experts said that angina or stomachache should be judged according to the time, place and duration of pain. Now let's have a look.

Angina symptom and stomachache?

1. The most common inducing factors of angina pectoris are fatigue, emotional excitement, over satiety, constipation, cold, smoking, drinking and so on. In addition, tachycardia or bradycardia, high or low blood pressure, shock and so on can also be induced. But the pain usually occurs at the time of activity, rather than after fatigue. Some patients are fixed in the middle of the night or early in the morning, lasting for several minutes or more than ten minutes, which can be relieved by rest or medication; But the stomach ache majority does not have the fixed time, often before the meal or after the meal is easy to have the stomach ache.

2. The location of angina pectoris is wide and changeable. The typical location is behind the center of the chest. The pain range is not very limited, which is about the size of fist or palm. It can involve the precordial area or behind the sternum, and sometimes it can radiate to the teeth, left shoulder, left arm, throat or upper abdomen. Stomachache is usually in the upper abdomen.

3. About 60% of angina pectoris patients have symptoms of squeezing or tightening pain, often accompanied by anxiety or fear of dying. Some patients describe pain as burning or dull pain, but rarely as acupuncture or knife cutting pain. If the pain is restless, tossing and turning is not angina pectoris.

matters needing attention

Because angina pectoris and stomachache are similar in the location of pain, they are all in the upper abdomen pain, many middle-aged and elderly people easily mistakenly treat heart disease as stomach disease and delay the best treatment period. If the middle-aged and old people suddenly have chest pain or upper abdominal pain, don't easily judge as stomach pain, should first consider the possibility of angina pectoris or myocardial infarction. If sublingual nitroglycerin or Suxiao Jiuxin Pill can relieve the pain, most of them are heart disease, they should go to the hospital for further examination and treatment as soon as possible.
