Dr. Wang Xin
Cardiovascular blockage, commonly refers to coronary artery atherosclerotic heart disease, which is commonly known as heart disease. This condition may cause partial or complete blockage of the coronary arteries, affecting the blood supply to the heart muscle. Symptoms may include:
1. Chest pain (angina):表现为压榨感、紧缩感或疼痛，可能放射到左臂、下巴、背部或肩部，持续几分钟，通常在活动或情绪激动后出现。
2. Shortness of breath: Particularly during physical activity, or suddenly while at rest.
3. Fatigue or weakness: Especially feeling unusually tired during routine activities.
4. Fainting or dizziness: Caused by low blood pressure due to insufficient blood supply from the heart.
Note that not everyone experiences typical chest pain; particularly women, elderly individuals, and patients with diabetes may experience atypical symptoms. If you have any concerns, seek medical attention immediately.
