These 5 types of chest pain are not myocardial ischemia! Chest pain caused by myocardial ischemia is like this pain

ask

Why do doctors always say that 90% of myocardial infarctions can be prevented!

But in reality, there are still hundreds of thousands of people who die suddenly from myocardial infarction, and millions of people suffer from myocardial infarction every year?

answer

This is because most people don’t know which discomforts are warning signs of myocardial infarction!

In reality, on the contrary, there are some people who are too nervous and suspect any chest pain as myocardial ischemia, angina pectoris, or myocardial infarction, which makes them uneasy and they call 120 from time to time, making their family members panic as well.
Today we will share 5 types of chest pain that can preliminarily rule out myocardial ischemia and angina, as well as which chest pain or discomfort is a warning sign of myocardial infarction.

1. Preliminary exclusion of chest pain caused by myocardial ischemia

1. Sudden chest pain

Some friends often feel sudden chest pain, but the pain lasts for a very short time each time; sometimes it is only a moment, half a second to 1 second, and no more than 2-3 seconds at most.
This type of chest pain is generally not directly related to myocardial ischemic angina pectoris.
Most of the chest pain caused by myocardial ischemic angina lasts for a few minutes, usually not less than 2 minutes. Therefore, chest pain of a few seconds is usually not myocardial ischemic angina.

2. Chest pain on compression

Some friends also experience chest pain after pressing. That is, they feel fine when they stay still, but they feel pain after pressing their chest with their hands; or they feel slight pain at ordinary times, but after pressing with their hands, the pain will become more severe and the pain will be fixed and clear. This kind of chest pain is generally not angina pectoris caused by myocardial ischemia.
Because the chest pain caused by myocardial ischemia angina pectoris has nothing to do with pressing. It is a kind of conscious chest pain. Even if you don't press, you will feel chest pain. Even if you press, the chest pain will not be aggravated by pressing. Besides, the chest pain caused by myocardial ischemia angina pectoris is generally radiating pain, which is difficult to pinpoint to a specific location.

Chest pain caused by breathing

I don't have chest pain at ordinary times, but I feel chest pain after I breathe in and out, especially after taking a deep breath, the chest pain will appear or worsen. This kind of chest pain is not myocardial ischemic angina pectoris.
The chest pain caused by angina pectoris due to myocardial ischemia has no direct relationship with breathing; no matter whether we exhale, inhale, hold our breath, or take a deep breath, these actions will not cause chest pain; nor will there be no chest pain due to not taking a deep breath.

Pinpoint chest pain

There are also many people who often feel stabbing, needle-sized pain in the chest.
This type of chest pain is generally not myocardial ischemic angina, because most of the myocardial ischemic angina are referred pain and radiating pain, at least the size of a fist, or even larger, or radiate to the shoulder, left arm, abdomen, back, etc.
Myocardial ischemic angina is rarely a pinpoint chest pain.

5. Chest pain all day long

Some people experience chest pain all day long, for several hours or even more than ten hours.
This situation cannot directly rule out myocardial ischemic angina pectoris. Because myocardial infarction is persistent myocardial ischemic angina pectoris, and the characteristic of myocardial infarction is persistent chest pain that does not ease. Therefore, if this kind of chest pain lasts for more than 20 minutes, an electrocardiogram must be performed to rule out myocardial ischemic angina pectoris.
If the chest pain persists for several hours and the electrocardiogram is normal or the myocardial enzymes are normal, then myocardial ischemic angina can be ruled out.

So what are the causes of the above 5 types of chest pain?
There are many reasons, because chest pain itself hides more than a dozen common diseases, so it is necessary to find out the causes of the above 5 types of chest pain and further differential diagnosis is required.
It may be neuralgia, or it may be a problem with the lungs, chest, pleura, esophagus, trachea, etc.; but the above five types of chest pain can preliminarily rule out myocardial ischemia and angina pectoris.

2. Chest pain caused by myocardial ischemia has the following characteristics:

1. Time: 2-15 minutes, 3-8 minutes is more common.
2. Nature: dull pain, squeezing pain, etc. are common.
3. Accompanied by: chest tightness, shortness of breath, difficulty breathing, sweating, nausea, vomiting, feeling of impending death, etc.
4. Range: The range of a fist, or even larger.
5. Onset or aggravation after activity: The biggest characteristic of myocardial ischemic angina is that chest pain may not occur at ordinary times, but after activities, exercise, labor, and fatigue, chest pain will be felt, and it will be completely relieved after a few minutes of rest. Or the symptoms are relatively mild when resting, but after activities, exercise, labor, and fatigue, the symptoms are significantly aggravated.
If the chest pain meets the above five characteristics, especially the fifth point, then myocardial ischemic angina pectoris should be highly suspected and you must seek medical attention immediately.

Every occurrence of myocardial ischemic angina pectoris is a warning of myocardial infarction. Therefore, if you understand what myocardial ischemic angina pectoris is, you can seek medical attention and receive regular treatment in time, thereby preventing most myocardial infarctions.
Of course, myocardial ischemic angina pectoris is not just chest pain, it may also be headache, toothache, shoulder pain, back pain, upper abdominal pain, or even no pain, but chest tightness, shortness of breath, sweating, nausea and vomiting, throat tightness and other discomforts. At this time, refer to the above 5th point and judge whether it is myocardial ischemic angina pectoris based on the characteristics of 5th point.

In short, if you have real myocardial ischemic angina pectoris, you must not take it lightly, you must not ignore it, and you must seek medical attention immediately; but if you have false myocardial ischemic angina pectoris, there is no need to be overly nervous and make people panic.
