Old people often have uncomfortable hearts. How to judge whether you have coronary heart disease?

With the development of social economy and the improvement of people's living standards, the prevalence and mortality of coronary heart disease in China are on the rise. Nowadays, coronary heart disease has become a major disease that threatens the health of our people. So, let me talk specifically about coronary heart disease.

1. What is coronary heart disease?

The full name of coronary heart disease is "coronary atherosclerotic heart disease", which refers to heart disease caused by myocardial ischemia and hypoxia caused by coronary atherosclerosis. The factors leading to coronary heart disease include dyslipidemia, hypertension, diabetes, smoking, obesity, age, gender and so on.

Second, what should I do if my heart is uncomfortable?

The clinical manifestations of coronary heart disease are palpitation, chest tightness and chest pain. Generally, it can relieve itself after the attack, and the duration does not exceed 30 minutes. But the symptoms of some diseases will be similar to coronary heart disease, and you can't tell them apart. For the elderly, with the increase of age, the degree of coronary atherosclerosis will be further aggravated, and the function of the heart will also decline. Myocardial ischemia may be life-threatening. Therefore, in order to be healthy and have a bad heart, go to the hospital as soon as possible. As mentioned in the question, I have suffered from heart discomfort many times, so I should have a specific examination.

Third, how to prevent coronary heart disease?

Control the factors causing coronary heart disease. If you have diseases such as hypertension and diabetes, you must control your blood pressure and blood sugar to prevent these diseases from becoming the "fuse" of coronary heart disease. In addition, obese people should also pay attention to lose weight and control their weight. Eat reasonably. A reasonable diet can not only prevent coronary heart disease, but also play a role in losing weight. So we must pay attention to a balanced and reasonable diet. In this regard, you can look at the "nutrition pyramid" (picture). Proper exercise. Maintaining proper exercise for a long time is conducive to preventing obesity, promoting blood circulation and regulating blood lipid metabolism. Even the elderly should exercise properly. Of course, try to choose walking, Tai Chi and other soothing exercises when exercising. Keep a good mood and live a regular life. There is a saying that happiness is a day, and unhappiness is also a day. In that case, why can't we make ourselves happy every day? In addition to maintaining a good mood, we should also live a regular life, that is, go to bed early, get up early and get enough sleep.
