The weather is getting colder, some friends may find that the feeling of suffocation in the chest from time to time is very annoying, especially elderly people suffering from cardiovascular disease, because of chest suffocation and chest tightness frequent visits to the hospital, fearing that they have heart problems, but nothing, the symptoms remain. What’s going on here? In fact, a part of the patients in the cold season appear chest tightness, we need to consider the spine, especially the cervical-thoracic spine problems. The spine causes chest tightness and chest constriction? That’s right! When the small joints of the cervical and thoracic spine are disordered, the nerves from the corresponding parts may be stimulated or damaged accordingly, and some patients will show chest tightness and suffocation, and feel a sense of blockage in their hearts. Secondly, when the cold evil gradually strengthens, the back, which is the first line of defense of the human body – where the sun meridian follows, is most vulnerable to the invasion of cold evil, and “cold is the main attraction”, local meridian Qi and blood stagnation, which is more likely to aggravate the symptoms of chest congestion and breathlessness. If the above problems, we do not have to worry too much, through massage therapy to reset the small joints of the spine, with intermediate frequency, fire cupping and other physical therapy, so that the damaged nerve function to recover on their own, can quickly relieve the symptoms of breathlessness and chest tightness. It is worth noting that breath-holding and chest tightness is only a single symptom. When we have such problems, we must first rule out cardiopulmonary disease to avoid delaying the condition. At the same time, mood boredom, resulting in poor qi, qi knot in the chest can also cause this disease, so keep a good mood is also the main point of health care at this time oh.
