Can pharyngitis cause chest tightness?

People with pharyngitis often feel a foreign body sensation in their throats, always feeling as if their throats are blocked by something. In severe cases, they may even have difficulty breathing. Pharyngitis can cause people to cough constantly, wanting to get the foreign body in their throats out. However, to cure the disease, one must seek its root cause. Treatment based on pharyngitis will only be effective. Will pharyngitis cause chest tightness? Let's see.

Pharyngitis is a local inflammation caused by bacterial or viral infection of the throat. The main symptoms include sore throat, itchy throat, foreign body sensation in the throat, etc. The cause of chest tightness in patients may be due to many factors such as physiological factors.

Causes of pharyngitis and chest tightness

Physiological factors:

From puberty, women's ovaries and other reproductive systems begin to develop and mature, secreting large amounts of estrogen, which triggers monthly menstruation and the formation of obvious female characteristics. Chest tightness and shortness of breath are closely related to the level of sex hormone secretion. The estrogen secretion in young women is more vigorous, the subcutaneous fat thickens, and the oxygen consumption of adipose tissue is greater than that of muscle tissue, so young women will suffer from insufficient oxygen supply to the human body and experience chest tightness and shortness of breath.

Psychological factors:

It is mainly caused by unpleasant emotions such as depression and bad mood. Girls tend to be sensitive in emotions. When they encounter unpleasant things, they tend to sulk and feel unhappy, which often makes them feel chest tightness and shortness of breath. According to psychologists, chest tightness and shortness of breath caused by this reason is the most common. It seems that we have to be open-minded about everything; don't be too picky.

Pathological factors:

Common diseases in women include myocarditis and autonomic dysfunction. Among various types of myocarditis, viral myocarditis is the most common. Women are prone to viral myocarditis after suffering from colds and upper respiratory tract infections. One of the main symptoms of this disease is chest tightness and shortness of breath.

Autonomic dysfunction often occurs in female adolescence. Some girls aged 16 or 17 often complain of chest tightness and shortness of breath, which is mostly caused by autonomic dysfunction. Some patients think that pharyngitis is just a general inflammation and they can just go to the pharmacy and buy some anti-inflammatory drugs. So they take various antibiotics orally or inject them on their own, or even use them for a long time. As a result, most of the effects are not obvious or are completely ineffective. Blind drug treatment will cause certain physical harm.

1. Long-term medication causes dysbacteriosis, and the disease recurs and is difficult to cure: Currently, Western medicine treatments mostly temporarily control the disease, but taking too many antibiotics is harmful to the human body, because the abuse of antibiotics may lead to dysbacteriosis of the normal flora in the throat. It will cause bacteria to become more resistant to drugs and the body's immune function to weaken, making the disease recur and difficult to cure.

2. Toxic to the liver and kidneys, serious side effects: If this type of drug is used for a long time and repeatedly, it may not only cause bacterial resistance or dysbacteriosis, but also cause side effects such as liver and kidney damage. Therefore, for the treatment of chronic pharyngitis, the use of antibiotics is generally not recommended, and reasonable treatment methods should be adopted under the guidance of a doctor. "Wofu plasma minimally invasive technology" treats pharyngitis "in one step". The "Wofu plasma minimally invasive technology" of the Department of Otolaryngology of Hubei Provincial Veterans Hospital uses its new soft tissue resection method to perfectly achieve tissue cutting and volume reduction. It reduces tissue damage while providing the ability to effectively cut tissues. For stubborn pharyngeal diseases such as pharyngitis, chronic pharyngitis, tonsillitis, etc., it can accurately treat the root cause and achieve the goal of one-time cure.

3. "Wofu plasma minimally invasive technology" is a patented technology independently developed by Hubei Provincial Veterans Hospital over decades. When treating a patient, the doctor will first perform an endoscopic examination on the patient to check the root cause of the patient's symptoms, and then provide symptomatic treatment after confirmation. "Wofu plasma minimally invasive technology" realizes minimally invasive and precise treatment, avoiding the disadvantages of traditional open surgical treatment, such as large wounds, slow recovery, difficult nursing, and damage to normal tissue function. With the help of the high-power, clear, accurate and intuitive lens of the endoscope system, doctors can perform precise treatment on the nose and reach areas that traditional surgery cannot reach. Under the guidance of the high-power endoscope, it can go deep into the lesion site, accurately locate the lesion, and accurately liquefy and ablate the lesion and protrusion under direct vision, remove the diseased tissue and bone, create and improve the physiological environment of the nasal cavity, and accelerate the self-healing function of various tissues after surgery, so as to achieve the purpose of one-time treatment of ear, nose and throat diseases and prevention of recurrence, and improve the safety, controllability and functionality of the operation to a new level. Moreover, the biggest advantage of this technology is that you can treat it and leave at any time without interfering with your work and study.

4. Of course, in addition to the above treatment methods and some knowledge about pharyngitis. In fact, pharyngitis can cause a lot of harm to the body, and the general public needs to pay attention to it to a great extent. Next, the experts will explain to you the dangers of pharyngitis, so that everyone can easily realize the harm caused by pharyngitis to the body and establish treatment awareness in time. Pharyngitis can be divided into two types, chronic pharyngitis and acute pharyngitis. The harm caused by these two diseases is also very different, among which chronic pharyngitis is more serious. Please listen to the experts for details.

5. Systemic toxic reactions such as the acute pharyngitis patient also may occur generating heat, is afraid of cold, headache, body aches, poor appetite, and big dry stool, xerostomia except that pharyngalgia. When there is a bacterial infection, the number of white blood cells in the blood increases. If the throat pain is severe, it will affect swallowing and cause nutritional and metabolic disorders in the body. If not treated in time or if the disease recurs, it may become chronic; if pathogenic bacteria and toxins invade the blood circulation, it may cause systemic complications, such as acute nephritis, sepsis, and rheumatism; if the infection spreads upward and affects the ears and nose, it may lead to acute rhinitis, sinusitis, and acute otitis media; if it develops downward, it may invade the larynx, trachea and other lower respiratory tracts, causing acute laryngitis, tracheitis, bronchitis and pneumonia, which is extremely harmful to the body.

6. People with chronic pharyngitis often feel discomfort in the throat. If they catch a cold, get tired, talk a lot, or don't drink water for a long time, they will feel worse pain and burning in the throat. The itching in the throat causes bouts of irritating coughing, which affects their rest. If it is dry or atrophic pharyngitis, the throat will be obviously dry, and it will be difficult to speak and swallow saliva. You need to drink water frequently to moisten the throat, and you may even need to get up several times at night to drink water. However, it can only temporarily relieve the symptoms, and the throat will soon feel dry again. Some people need soup to swallow dry and hard food when eating.

7. To sum up the above, pharyngitis is seriously harmful to the throat. Whether it is chronic pharyngitis or acute pharyngitis, we need to pay attention to it and not leave it alone. In daily life, we must take precautions to protect the health of our throat. Do not harm your throat due to colds or spicy food, which may cause pharyngitis and cause you pain. In addition, you should learn more about medical knowledge in your daily life. Don't let disease invade you easily.
