Dr. Liu Shilei
If chest pain occurs during emotional excitement or physical exertion, it is advisable to promptly undergo an electrocardiogram (ECG) to assess for myocardial ischemia or angina pectoris. If the ECG reveals evidence of myocardial ischemia, pharmacological treatment aimed at improving myocardial blood supply should be initiated. Additionally, adequate rest must be ensured in daily life, and excessive physical exertion and mental stress should be avoided.
