Symptoms of Coronary Heart Disease

Many symptoms of coronary heart disease are common among people nowadays, so once you experience fatigue, chest pain, or chest tightness, you should be careful. For the sake of your health, it is best to get a check-up to see if you have coronary heart disease.

(1) Fatigue

In daily life, you feel tired and weak for no reason, and don’t want to do anything but sleep. These symptoms are very typical symptoms of coronary heart disease, so you must be careful.

(2) Shortness of breath

Feeling of insufficient air or difficulty breathing. This shortness of breath is worse when moving, better when resting, worse when lying down, and better when sitting.

(3) Chest tightness and pain

Middle-aged and elderly people who experience unexplained chest tightness, chest pain, discomfort in the epigastric or abdominal area should be careful to rule out angina pectoris caused by coronary heart disease.

Generally, chest tightness and chest pain caused by coronary heart disease are in the precordial area and behind the sternum, and can radiate to the shoulder, mandible, left arm and back. The nature of the pain can be dull pain, tenderness and knife-like pain. People are often afraid to move when in pain, and may sweat in severe cases.

The pain usually lasts for a few seconds and can often be relieved by taking nitroglycerin sublingually. If the pain does not subside and continues to be severe, the possibility of a dissecting aneurysm should be considered.

(4) Syncope

Coronary heart disease caused by arrhythmia, too fast or too slow heart rate, conduction block, cardiac arrest, etc. can all reduce cardiac output. Because the brain is very sensitive to lack of oxygen and insufficient blood supply to the brain, mild symptoms may cause dizziness, while severe symptoms may cause vertigo or even fainting.

(5) Cough and expectoration

When coronary heart disease causes heart failure, coughing and sputum production may occur due to pulmonary congestion. The amount of sputum is generally not much, but in severe cases there may be pink foamy sputum.
