What are the symptoms of insufficient blood flow to the heart?

The disease of insufficient blood supply to the heart is not uncommon. Its main symptoms are shortness of breath, chest tightness and shortness of breath, and the patient will also experience general fatigue. In severe cases, it can also cause angina pectoris.

1. Cardiovascular disease caused by myocardial ischemia often has no symptoms in the early stage of the disease, but shortness of breath gradually appears, manifested as rapid breathing. Previously, you didn't feel anything when going up the third or fourth floors, but now you feel palpitations, shortness of breath, and rapid heartbeat when you go up the second floor. This indicates that the myocardium is not getting enough blood and heart function is weakened. This will be an early sign of cardiovascular disease. If you also feel tired, weak, and have intermittent chest pain, these are obvious symptoms of cardiovascular disease.

2. Systemic symptoms include fatigue , palpitations, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing after exercise. I feel that my ability to move is significantly lower than before. More serious cases may present with symptoms of angina pectoris: palpitations, squeezing pain in the left anterior chest wall, which may radiate to the left hand.

3. Myocardial ischemia may have many adverse effects on the heart and the whole body. Once ischemia occurs, hypoxia will immediately occur. The direct consequences of hypoxia are angina pectoris, arrhythmia, and decreased cardiac function. In severe cases, left ventricular failure and cardiogenic shock may occur.

Insufficient blood supply to the myocardium can lead to myocardial hypoxia and weakened heart function, and is the number one enemy to human health. Myocardial ischemia is mostly caused by hyperlipidemia and hypercholesterolemia caused by lifestyle factors such as unreasonable diet and lack of exercise. They will be deposited on the inner walls of the arteries until they form atherosclerotic plaques, causing blood vessel stenosis or even blockage, and eventually leading to serious diseases such as coronary heart disease. Once myocardial insufficiency is diagnosed, early treatment is recommended.
