What symptom is cardiac muscle ache?

summary

Myocardial ischemia is a common condition after hypertension and atherosclerosis. If myocardial ischemia is not corrected in time or is serious, it will lead to myocardial infarction and cause death. For patients with a history of hypertension, fatigue, intense activity, excitement and even cold weather may induce myocardial ischemia. For patients with myocardial ischemia, timely detection and treatment is very significant. Next, let's learn about the manifestations of myocardial ischemia.

What symptom is cardiac muscle ache?

Myocardial cells are supplied with blood by coronary artery. When coronary artery obstruction or sudden severe contraction or sudden increase of myocardial oxygen consumption, myocardial blood supply will be insufficient. At this time, myocardial ischemia and hypoxia symptoms will appear, including angina pectoris and myocardial infarction.

Angina pectoris is the main symptom of myocardial ischemia. When you are working or going upstairs or exercising, you suddenly have chest pain or discomfort, and feel stuffy, then this may be angina pectoris, which is due to your myocardial ischemia. In addition, some people's chest pain will radiate to the left shoulder and left arm inside, including the left ring finger and little finger.

Generally speaking, the pain of myocardial ischemic attack can be relieved in a few minutes after rest, or sublingual nitroglycerin can also be relieved in a few minutes, but it often relapses, some once a few days, some several times a day. In addition, there are ST segment changes in ECG during myocardial ischemia.

matters needing attention

When there is fatigue, strenuous exercise or sudden chest pain under other circumstances, especially the left shoulder and left arm radiation pain, we must be alert to the possibility of myocardial infarction, and timely medical treatment, so as not to delay treatment.
