Cardiovascular blockage, commonly referred to as coronary artery atherosclerotic heart disease, is the heart disease we often speak of. When the coronary arteries become partially or completely blocked by plaques formed from cholesterol deposits, blood flow is restricted, leading to the following common symptoms: 1. Chest pain (angina):表现为压榨感、紧缩感或烧灼感,通常在剧烈运动、情绪激动或寒冷时出现,持续几分钟,休息后通常可缓解。 2. Fatigue or weakness: Particularly feeling unusually tired during daily activities or mild exercise. 3. Shortness of breath: Especially after physical exertion, there may be rapid breathing or wheezing. 4. Palpitations: Abnormal heartbeat, possibly fast, irregular, or with a sensation of pauses. If these symptoms occur, especially persistent chest pain, seek medical attention immediately.
