Introduction
Heart distress may be due to physiological factors, which generally do not require treatment, or it may result from pathological conditions such as myocardial ischemia. Myocardial ischemia can be treated with medications like nitroglycerin tablets and Compound Danshen Dripping Pills. Coronary atherosclerosis can be managed with enteric-coated aspirin tablets and clopidogrel hydrogen sulfate tablets. Arrhythmias can be treated with metoprolol succinate sustained-release tablets and propranolol hydrochloride tablets.

Heart fatigue may be caused by physiological factors or pathological factors, such as myocardial ischemia, coronary atherosclerosis, arrhythmia, etc. Appropriate management methods can be selected according to the specific cause.

I. Physiological Factors

If one has irregular daily routines, frequently stays up late, or habitually smokes and drinks heavily over a long period, carbon monoxide and nicotine levels in the blood may increase, while ethanol and other substances may place added strain on the heart, making heart fatigue more likely. It is recommended to maintain regular作息 (daily routines), quit smoking, limit alcohol consumption, reduce cardiac load, and ensure adequate rest.

II. Pathological Factors

1. Myocardial Ischemia

In cases of myocardial ischemia, insufficient blood supply during cardiac perfusion can easily lead to heart fatigue. Treatment under medical guidance may include medications such as nitroglycerin tablets or Compound Danshen Dripping Pills.

2. Coronary Atherosclerosis

If coronary atherosclerosis is present, increased pressure in the coronary arteries impairs circulation, leading to elevated cardiac stress and a higher likelihood of heart fatigue. Follow a physician's advice for treatment with medications such as enteric-coated aspirin tablets or clopidogrel hydrogen sulfate tablets.

3. Arrhythmia

Arrhythmia may also cause sensations of heart fatigue. Under medical supervision, medications such as metoprolol succinate extended-release tablets or propranolol hydrochloride tablets may be used for treatment.

In addition, conditions such as hypertension and coronary heart disease may also contribute to heart fatigue. It is recommended to follow medical advice for proper diagnosis and treatment.
