Three diseases to beware of when experiencing heart and back pain

1. Myocardial infarction: Back pain associated with the heart is one of the most common symptoms of myocardial infarction, often accompanied by chest pain, shortness of breath, nausea, and vomiting. Prompt medical evaluation is recommended, including electrocardiogram (ECG) and blood biochemical tests.

2. Myocarditis: Myocarditis refers to inflammation of the heart muscle, leading to impaired cardiac function. Heart-related back pain is a common symptom, which may also be accompanied by palpitations, shortness of breath, and fatigue. Timely medical consultation is advised, along with diagnostic tests such as ECG and echocardiography.

3. Angina pectoris: Angina is chest pain caused by insufficient blood supply in the coronary arteries, but it can sometimes present as back pain related to the heart. Prompt medical evaluation is recommended, including ECG, blood biochemical tests, and coronary angiography. Additionally, it is important to control risk factors such as blood pressure, lipid levels, and blood glucose to prevent angina attacks.
