Is intermittent ST segment change serious?

Intermittent ST segment changes are generally quite serious.

Intermittent ST segment changes usually refer to dynamic alterations in the ST segment. When such changes occur intermittently, patients often experience symptoms such as palpitations, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and chest pain. This condition, excluding cases caused by coronary artery insufficiency leading to angina due to coronary heart disease, is usually considered significant. If not treated promptly, it may lead to difficulty breathing or even trigger shock. It is recommended to seek further evaluation at a hospital with coronary angiography or electrocardiogram (ECG) testing. The severity of the condition should be assessed based on the specific timing and pattern of the intermittent ST segment changes, along with the patient's symptoms, so that timely treatment can be initiated.

During treatment, maintain a positive and relaxed mood, avoid tension or anxiety, refrain from strenuous physical activity, develop good habits such as going to bed early and waking up early, and spend appropriate time outdoors in sunlight to enhance your immune resistance.
