How to treat myocardial ischemia during menopause?

Women in menopause are very prone to myocardial ischemia, so more attention should be paid to conditioning. First of all, they should pay attention to quitting smoking and drinking, and eat a reasonable diet, eat small meals frequently, and eat less cholesterol-rich foods, especially egg yolks, cream, fatty meat, etc.

(1) Quit smoking and drinking. Nicotine in cigarettes can increase the fibrinogen in the blood, causing blood viscosity and increasing the incidence of myocardial ischemia. Too much ethanol can increase the heart's oxygen consumption and increase the heart's burden.

(2) Eat a balanced diet , eat small meals frequently, eat less cholesterol-rich foods (egg yolks, butter, fatty meat, animal offal) and sugar, and eat more fresh vegetables and fruits.

(3) Feeling happy and peaceful. When people are overly excited, their blood pressure may rise, myocardial contraction may increase, and myocardial ischemia and hypoxia may be aggravated.

(4) Avoid lack of oxygen. The room should be ventilated frequently. If there is a long-term lack of oxygen supply, patients with coronary heart disease are prone to symptoms such as chest tightness, which will aggravate the degree of arteriosclerosis.

(5) Drink water regularly . Patients with coronary heart disease, especially the elderly, have increased blood viscosity. Water can dilute the blood and promote blood flow, so it is important to develop the habit of drinking water regularly.

(6) Avoid extreme cold and heat. Catching a cold can cause peripheral blood vessels to constrict and increase heart rate; in hot summer, the sympathetic nerves are easily excited, which can also increase the heart rate and increase the burden on the heart.

(7) Appropriate exercise. Patients with myocardial ischemia must not only persist in exercising, but also strictly control the degree. Excessive exercise can easily lead to acute ischemia and hypoxia of the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular systems, and may cause acute myocardial infarction.

(8) Always have medications to relieve angina pectoris and myocardial ischemia available for immediate use. If pain persists or cannot be relieved by medication, go to the nearest emergency room immediately.
