Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Tian Hongbo
Myocardial ischemia refers to an insufficient blood supply to the heart muscle, usually caused by narrowing or blockage of the coronary arteries. This condition may cause the following symptoms:
1. Chest tightness or pain behind the breastbone: Patients with myocardial ischemia may experience a feeling of tightness or pain in the chest area or behind the breastbone during times of excessive mental stress or physical exertion, sometimes presenting as a sensation of constriction.
2. Shortness of breath: Dyspnea is a relatively common manifestation of myocardial ischemia and typically occurs in patients with severe myocardial ischemia.
3. Chest tightness and shortness of breath: Patients with myocardial ischemia may feel chest tightness during physical labor or activity, sometimes accompanied by shortness of breath, and some patients may also experience palpitations.
4. Fatigue or weakness: Particularly during physical activity, a greater than usual sense of fatigue may be experienced.
5. Palpitations or irregular heartbeat: Heartbeats may become rapid, irregular, or feel like they are pausing.
6. Fainting or dizziness: Due to insufficient cardiac blood supply, a drop in blood pressure may occur, leading to transient fainting or dizziness.
7. Excessive sweating: Sudden cold sweats may occur, sometimes accompanied by other symptoms.
