We know that for the symptoms of chest tightness and chest pain in middle-aged and elderly people, we must be alert to coronary heart disease. The most serious condition of coronary heart disease is acute myocardial infarction, which is also a common cause of sudden death. Chest tightness, chest pain, especially precordial squeezing pain, sweating and dying feeling are typical symptoms of acute myocardial infarction.
In daily life, there are many atypical symptoms of coronary heart disease, including shoulder and back discomfort, sore throat, epigastric pain, toothache, dizziness, fatigue, palpitation and dyspnea.
When coronary heart disease attacks, it is often at home or outdoors. Therefore, how to save yourself when coronary heart disease attacks is particularly important.
It is rumored that sudden discomfort of the heart can dredge blood vessels by tapping the above parts; Are these statements correct, such as taking a few aspirin by the bed and saving lives in critical situations?
Medicine is a rigorous science, and any medicine or treatment has its indications and contraindications, so it is risky not to treat it dialectically.
Aspirin
Aspirin is the cornerstone drug for patients with coronary heart disease who need to take it for a long time, and patients with stable coronary heart disease should insist on taking it.
When acute myocardial infarction occurs, chewing aspirin does have a first-aid effect. But for most patients without professional medical knowledge, it is impossible to identify whether it is a heart attack at the initial stage of the disease. One of the side effects of aspirin is that it will damage the gastric mucosa and lead to bleeding.
Although the attack of coronary heart disease sometimes manifests as epigastric discomfort, if this discomfort is caused by digestive system diseases, such as acute gastritis and gastric ulcer, taking aspirin will aggravate it and increase the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding.
There is also a dangerous disease that needs to be identified-aortic dissection. Taking aspirin can lead to aggravated arterial bleeding and even life-threatening.
glonoin
Patients with coronary heart disease should carry nitroglycerin with them, and nitroglycerin can be taken sublingually to relieve symptoms when angina pectoris occurs. This is what cardiologists often tell patients with coronary heart disease.
In the health education of coronary heart disease, it is also advocated to take nitroglycerin sublingually in order to achieve the purpose of first aid for acute attack of coronary heart disease.
But for patients with right ventricular infarction, it is often accompanied by a decrease in blood pressure and heart rate. Taking nitroglycerin will further lower blood pressure, lead to a decrease in blood volume and worsen the condition.
Acupoint bloodletting therapy
When coronary heart disease attacks, patients' nervousness and fear will lead to sympathetic excitement. External stimuli such as tapping acupoints or bloodletting will aggravate patients' fear, accelerate heart rate and increase myocardial oxygen consumption, which will lead to the deterioration of heart condition.
Stop activities immediately and rest on the spot.
Don't take chances, how many people insist on falling down on the way to the hospital, and whether they are aware of the danger and don't go to the hospital at home.
Take oxygen (at home if possible) and take Xiao Su Jiuxin Pill or Compound Danshen Dripping Pill.
It should be noted that the above drugs are generally taken twice, and the number of times is not much. You should go to the hospital as soon as possible after the symptoms are relieved.
If the symptoms are not relieved after taking it, you should be more alert to the danger and seek professional medical assistance immediately.
Call 120 and wait for help.
Remember, it is safer to call the emergency number 120 than to go to the hospital by yourself. After the professionals arrive, apply appropriate methods and drugs under the guidance of doctors.
In the process of waiting, if you have an electronic sphygmomanometer at home, you can measure the patient's blood pressure and heart rate.
Those whose blood pressure drops obviously must rest in supine position to ensure effective cerebral blood flow perfusion; Coma should keep his head tilted to one side when lying flat to prevent suffocation caused by falling of the base of his tongue; People with hypertension accompanied by asthma and dyspnea can maintain a high pillow position, raise the bedside or sit up, and keep their legs drooping, which can reduce the amount of blood flowing back to the heart, reduce the heart load and relieve wheezing symptoms.
Cardiac arrest, cardiac compression immediately.
Cardiac arrest, this is the most serious situation. If you don't respond, lose consciousness, and can't feel the pulse of the aorta, you can press your heart immediately. At the same time, call the police for help and call 120 for professional treatment.
Remember, cardiac compression, whether professional or not, will give people with cardiac arrest a chance to jump again. Your oppression will promote the blood circulation of the heart, which is the hope of life!
