What are the common ways to relieve heart discomfort?

There are many types of heart disease. It is best to go to the hospital for diagnosis and examination for specific conditions, and not to blindly solve the problem yourself. The heart is generally fragile and can be damaged if you're not careful, mainly because the heart has many arteries and capillaries. In order to take good care of your heart, you can eat more foods that soften your blood vessels. If conditions permit, you can massage your acupoints more often and eat more foods rich in vitamins. So besides these, what other relief methods are there?

The cardiovascular system consists of the heart, arteries, capillaries, and veins. The process of venous blood leaving the heart through arteries, capillaries, and veins and returning to the heart is called blood circulation. The main function of the cardiovascular system is to transport nutrients absorbed by the digestive tract, oxygen exchanged by the lungs, and hormones to tissues and cells of organs throughout the body. At the same time, it transports the metabolic products of tissues and cells and carbon dioxide to the kidneys, lungs, and skin, and excretes them out of the body to ensure the body's metabolism. If the heart is uncomfortable, it should be determined whether it is related to the blood supply under pathological conditions.

Another point is that between the atrial and ventricular muscles of the heart, there is a solid fibrous scaffold composed of dense connective tissue, which is the cardiac fiber scaffold. The cardiac fiber scaffold is tough and elastic and plays a supporting role. It will undergo varying degrees of calcification and even ossification with age.

What to do if you feel heart discomfort

Heart disease is too complicated, so it is best to go to a regular hospital for a check-up to determine the right medicine for your condition. However, I still hope you will remember the assistance of diet and acupoints.

In terms of diet, you should eat more red fruits and vegetables in summer, and take vitamins on a regular basis, such as vitamin C, vitamin B1, and vitamin B2. Massage your whole body, eat less animal fat, limit your food intake, eat more vinegar, and soften your blood vessels.

There are three types of acupoint massage, which are simple and convenient:

1. Laogong acupoint: Make a fist naturally, and the point under the middle finger is Laogong acupoint, which is between the second and third metacarpal bones of the palm.

2. Neiguan point, 2 inches above the midpoint of the palmar wrist crease, between the two tendons

3. Shenmen acupoint, with the palm facing forward, in the depression at the inner edge of the tendon at the inner end of the wrist crease
