What can I do to relieve my heart pain?

Heart pain doesn't necessarily mean heart disease either, and heart disease doesn't necessarily mean heart pain, both of which must be popularized first.

Because many people think that a heart attack is always heart pain, which leads them to misjudge and not take it seriously, leading to heart failure and death.

Heart pain is not always a heart attack, the heart area of the often cause pain for a variety of reasons, such as the most common angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, as well as a number of neuroses, skin diseases, costochondritis, lung disease, chest disease, tumors, and other conditions, we can not be deciphered one by one, and today we are talking about two problems.

First, these pains in the heart area are not heart disease and need not be strained.

Heart pain that is often a sudden pinprick in the heart and disappears instantly, or lasts for a very short time of only one or two seconds, is not a heart attack. Pain in the heart area that is very small in scope, such as only the size of a pinprick or the size of a coin, is generally not pain caused by heart disease. Pressing pain, pain in the heart area, pain only after pressing, or pain worsened after pressing, usually is not heart disease. Pain in the heart area, pain only after deep breathing, generally not heart disease, or accurately said not angina myocardial ischemia. These 4 kinds of pain, basically can be ruled out is the heart itself caused by the pain, people do not need to be nervous, you can go to the doctor, but not like the next said these pain, to immediately consult a doctor.

Second, pain caused by angina or myocardial ischemia

Most of the pain is a piece of pain, or at least the size of a fist, often radiating to other parts; mostly in about 2-10 minutes, if the duration of more than 15 minutes, there are two possibilities either is not a heart attack, or is the most serious acute myocardial infarction; mostly in the activities of the aggravation of exertion, rest or nitroglycerin can be relieved very quickly; not only is the heart part of the pain, but also may be a toothache, chest pain, headache, Epigastric pain, back pain and so on, may also be chest tightness and breathlessness and so on non-pain manifestations.

What to do?

The diagnosis is even more important as it must first be clarified if the angina is caused by the heart itself.

If angina, is myocardial ischemia, then in the angina attack, the first thing is to immediately stop all activities, shed sublingual nitroglycerin; such as nitroglycerin intolerance can choose fast-acting heart pill. This belongs to the immediate treatment, then this pain is often an alarm, need our attention. Angina reminds us that the heart is not stable, either the treatment is not comprehensive enough, or myocardial ischemia is worsening. So you need to see a specialist as soon as possible after the onset of angina to adjust the treatment plan, or adjust the medication, or further imaging to clarify the degree of stenosis.

In conclusion, we must be clear that heart disease is not just about pain in the heart area, but other non-heart pains as well, which should be brought to our attention to avoid delays.

Relief measures for heart pain need to be analyzed based on the specific cause of the condition, as described below:

1, coronary heart disease: coronary heart disease caused by heart pain is more common, if the coronary heart disease patients have angina pectoris, that is, the emergence of heart pain, it is recommended to take nitroglycerin as soon as possible. Taking is not to swallow the nitroglycerin, but to be contained under the tongue, nitroglycerin can be rapidly absorbed through the microcirculation under the tongue and produce drug effects. Nitroglycerin can also be sprayed with a nitroglycerin aerosol, which is rapidly absorbed through the mucous membranes to produce pharmacological effects;

2, pericarditis: for the heart pain caused by pericarditis, patients need to adopt the forward sitting position to relieve the friction between the pericardium dirty layer and the wall layer, so as to achieve the role of slowing down the heart pain. At the same time, patients can also take antipyretic and analgesic drugs, these drugs can significantly relieve the heart pain caused by pericarditis.


I think you're asking about pain in the heart area!

Pain in the heart area (chest or heart pain) can have many causes, and not all causes of pain in the heart area are heart conditions.

The causes of chest pain are complex and varied, including acute coronary syndrome (ACS), aortic dissection, pulmonary embolism (PE), pneumothorax, pericarditis, pericardial tamponade, and esophageal rupture.

So, first of all you need to identify the disease that is the cause of the heart pain and then you can treat it in a targeted manner.

Early cardiovascular consultation is recommended.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery!

This is a broader question, first of all, the symptom of heart pain is generally categorized into several types of pain, ranging from pins and needles, squeezing, suffocating, and vague pains, to name a few.

When the heart appears the needle sensation, to analyze whether it is persistent or intermittent, most of the young people appear heart area needle sensation is more, and often appear in the late night, long time unhygienic eye and excessive labor and emotional excitement after. These are often functional lesions, so don't be nervous. Through timely adjustment of routine and lifestyle habits can be restored to normal.

If the anterior region of the heart occurs pressing pain, the pain connects to the left shoulder, or connects to the back, then you can take nitroglycerin tablets orally, followed by observation, to determine whether the symptoms have been relieved, this case belongs to the manifestation of angina pectoris; if the heart is vaguely painful, the occurrence of time is uncertain, the symptoms of gradual aggravation, 3 to 5 minutes to relieve the possibility of unstable angina pectoris; some patients appear in the heart of the severe pain and even Can not breathe, profuse sweating, can not move, a sense of imminent death and other symptoms, it is suspected that myocardial infarction, to immediately emergency.

When the various "pains" of the heart are understood, we can only treat the symptoms, but first of all, we should go to the hospital for routine examination, standardized electrocardiogram and cardiac ultrasound are necessary examinations, if the symptoms of heart pain are more serious or the routine examination is problematic, the coronary artery CTA examination and cardiography, which is the gold standard, can accurately understand the causes of heart pains. This will help us to understand the cause of the heart pain.

The heart is a vital organ of the human body and if it signals us of a disease, it needs to be treated promptly. Only with proper and early treatment can we maintain a healthy heart.

Respondent: Yingying Cui, M.S.

Welcome to Life Calling for more useful health knowledge.

If the human heart is suddenly obvious pain, this is very dangerous, because it is likely to be angina pectoris or myocardial ischemia or myocardial infarction, there may be severe heart pain. If it is the appearance of heart pain, is there any good way to promptly relieve this obvious pain?

If the treatment is carried out during the attack, generally need to be based on the severity of the body, for example, if there is a case of heart pain, the patient should stop the activity after observation to see if there is no significant relief, if the symptoms appear to be relieved, generally not a big problem, if there is persistent pain need to be checked as soon as possible to see a doctor.

If there is coronary heart disease or angina pectoris, you can control it by using quick-acting heart-saving pills, or by using compound danshen drip pills to control the pain.

Or you can use nitrate preparations, because this class of drugs in addition to the role of dilation of coronary arteries, but also effectively dilate the peripheral blood vessels, can effectively reduce the amount of venous back to the heart, can effectively reduce the blood volume of the heart, reduce the burden on the heart, so as to alleviate angina pectoris.

If your heart symptoms are in remission, you need to adjust your diet and avoid strenuous exercise, such as not eating too much, not eating too fast, not smoking or drinking, adjusting your routine and workload, and reducing your physical and mental burdens.

If there are some serious diseases, such as the presence of insufficient blood supply to the coronary arteries or some blood clots, they need to be treated promptly through surgical methods in order to effectively improve the physical symptoms.

Heartburn is a more general description because for the vast majority of people, the heart is more of a scope term for the vicinity of the heart, which is the chest area, so heartburn refers to pain near the chest.

Whereas chest pain is a relatively common clinical symptom that can be triggered by a wide range of illnesses that respond in different ways and cannot be generalized, the first step we should take is to find the cause of the condition and understand the source and nature of the chest pain before we can take a targeted approach to treating or relieving the persistence of the chest pain.

Angina pectoris/myocardial infarction

Angina pectoris and myocardial infarction are both part of the clinical manifestations of coronary heart disease. The former is less severe, and although it is also categorized as stable and unstable, the vast majority of stable angina pectoris occurs as a result of physical activity.Rapid relief with rest or sublingual nitroglycerinThis is because there is a certain degree of difficulty in blood supply in the patient's body, and physical activity will make myocardial exertion become higher than the current limit of blood supply. The pain in these patients is not only limited to the chest, but can also radiate to the back, left shoulder, left arm, jaw, etc.

Myocardial infarction, on the other hand, is more serious, especially acute infarction, often catch patients by surprise, the onset of faster, and often only give patients a very short time to rescue, the slightest delay may be life-threatening, this type of patients are not relieved of the pain, but first aid, and should be immediately admitted to the hospital to open up the blood flow.

aortic dissection

Again, this is a more critical situation, and the patient will experience a pain that is torn and very strong and unbearable.

These patients have difficulty relieving their pain on their own and need the help of medication, such as oral painkillers or injections of opioids to relieve the pain.

However, you must be clear: medication relief is not a cure, but rather a relief of the patient's pain, and if aortic coarctation has been diagnosed, an intervention should be taken immediately, with a higher risk of death.


Of course, there are many other possibilities for chest pain, and these two are not exhaustive, so I would suggest that patients do not intervene before the diagnosis is made, as it is not only a waste of money and time, but also counterproductive and potentially dangerous.

I hope my answer helps you!

Pain in the area of the heart, accompanied by panic, dizziness and other uncomfortable symptoms, considered to be caused by tachyarrhythmia.

It is recommended to do 24-hour dynamic electrocardiogram, if necessary, can do cardiac ultrasound, take a chest X-ray, if the examination is not abnormal, consider the lack of sleep caused by, can pay attention to more rest, reduce psychological pressure, do not excessive late night. Pay attention to strengthen the dietary management, eat some rich in high quality protein diet, avoid eating spicy stimulation greasy cold food.

As far back as five or six years ago, I had noticed symptoms of brief stabbing pains in the area of my heart. Then as I got older, and irritated by a lot of bad people and events, the symptoms got worse. It also lasted longer and longer.

He went to the Second People's Hospital in the city and got a specialist's number. After doing ECG, cardiac blood flow chart, and cardiac ultrasound, nothing was found to be wrong. Then it was suspected that the soft tissues around the ribs in the anterior region of the heart might be inflamed. After treatment for some time, there were still symptoms of tingling in the precordial area. And it was accompanied by short, irregular arrhythmias.

He was again examined at a municipal hospital, but nothing serious could be detected, except for a small but insignificant problem on the electrocardiogram (ECG). He then went to a specialist who was asked to take a look at the ECG, which was found to be "basically normal", to see what was wrong with it.

The specialist took a half-hearted look at the problem and concluded that the anterior descending vessels on my heart were partially blocked. This triggered a localized poor blood supply to the heart muscle. Since this was the problem, it was a good thing. So I bought Musk Heart Pills, and Compound Danshen Dropping Pills. Just take them according to the dosage.

The tingling sensation in my heart basically disappeared after less than one bottle of Musk Heart Pills. When I took Compound Danshen Dropping Pills for almost a year, the swelling, difficulty in bending and finger suffocation in my left hand when I woke up in the morning also disappeared without my realizing it.

In July of this year, I had to undergo surgery for thyroid cancer. When I had my pre-operative physical examination at the First Affiliated Hospital of Shanxi Medical University, I followed the request of the attending physician to go to the cardiopulmonary function test room of the hospital and had a function test. The final result was normal cardiopulmonary function. This shows that the effect of taking Compound Danshen Dropping Pills for more than one year is quite obvious.

Currently, I still insist on taking Compound Danshen Drops and Compound Danshen Tablets. The heart has been free of tingling symptoms for a long time. If I can be symptom free again within a year, I am prepared to gradually reduce the dosage until I stop taking the medication.

When heart pain is uncomfortable and you don't know what's wrong? How can I get relief?

I'm going to give you a little piece of common sense from a longtime doctor that works: the

Heartache has discomfort, chest pain and a little itchy feeling, this time you use your hands to scratch the chest back and forth, massage for a while, I do not know you have safflower oil at home? Take out the safflower oil coated in the chest back and forth massage for a while, up to two times a day can be, because the flavor of safflower oil is too big, a wipe the whole room is the flavor of safflower oil.

Improvement occurs on the same day of application and up to three days guarantees you an improvement on minor heart problems.

There are many causes of heart pain, and it is advisable to identify the cause and treat it later.

Generally heart pain is mainly caused by myocardial ischemia or angina. If heart pain occurs with symptoms of angina, it is recommended to always stop the activity at the onset of the attack, while resting and containing nitroglycerin, the pain can disappear within one to two minutes, rarely more than five minutes.

The pain may be accompanied by a sense of dying, forcing the patient to stop activity immediately, or in severe cases, sweating, and lasts from one to five minutes, rarely more than fifteen minutes. The pain is often characterized by dull, crushing pain or tightness in the back of the sternum or throat; some patients only have chest tightness, which can be divided into typical angina and atypical angina.
