Is it okay to be sick for the New Year and not want to come to the hospital?

A few more days on the New Year, every time, we will remind the public to pay attention to rest, do not overeat, smoking and drinking in moderation, do not stay up late, especially the elderly must pay attention to rest. This year, we also want to remind one more thing, during the Spring Festival, once the body does not feel well, especially chest tightness, chest pain, be sure to seek medical attention in a timely manner, do not be too unlucky not to come to the hospital. Spring Festival heart attack patients than the usual 50% Just a few days ago, an old man appeared heart attack symptoms, but because of the New Year, the elderly do not want to come to the hospital, waiting at home for two days to aggravate the condition before coming to the clinic, admitted to the hospital after 4 hours because of myocardial infarction area is too large, secondary to cardiogenic shock death. Speaking of this case, Dr. Zhang Jing, deputy chief physician of the cardiac intensive care unit of the first hospital in the city, felt very sad that if the old man could have sought medical attention in time when the symptoms first appeared, he might have been able to save his life. The family reunion of the Spring Festival, the diet of fatty paste, smoking and drinking among friends and relatives, staying up late at night to watch TV and play mahjong. A few days in a row, people are still excited, but the body is tired, there are cardiovascular and cerebrovascular hidden people blood lipid blood pressure blood sugar fluctuations are intense, a variety of metabolic abnormalities, the light cardiovascular plaque rupture, serious acute myocardial infarction, cerebral infarction, aortic coarct. Zhang Jing told reporters that during the 7-day Spring Festival holiday in 2014, their cardiac intensive care unit admitted a total of 30 patients with acute myocardial infarction, a 50% increase from the usual rate, including 3 deaths and 5 cases of emergency coronary stenting. The most worrying thing is that many patients are reluctant to see a doctor before and after the New Year, they are too unlucky to tolerate the symptoms when they appear, and as a result, their condition is delayed. Zhang Jing wants to say to the public, time is life, the first hospital is open 24 hours during the Spring Festival is to emergency treatment of patients, do not because of taboo New Year not to come to the hospital to see a doctor. Toothache, stomach pain may also be a heart attack Zhang Jing introduced the performance of cardiovascular high-risk symptoms, if these symptoms appear, be sure to come to the hospital in a timely manner. Pain in the precordial region or behind the sternum, stuffiness and discomfort, a feeling similar to crushing or suffocation, some patients even have a “near-death feeling”, lasting from a few minutes to more than 10 minutes. If more than 20 minutes more careful, acute myocardial infarction may be coming. Special attention needs to be paid to “atypical coronary heart disease”, some myocardial infarction pain location may not be the chest. Zhang Jing has seen myocardial infarction patients with stomach pain, toothache, shoulder pain, and even heel pain. Some episodes of pain are not obvious, just chest tightness, shortness of breath, dizziness, nausea, or vomiting, and some people mistake it for frozen shoulder, stomach disease, gastroenteritis, etc. and ignore it. Recently microblogging, weibo popular bedside “life-saving three treasures”, when the occurrence of myocardial infarction really swim? Zhang Jing said that the “three lifesaving treasures” have certain limitations and insecurity, once a myocardial infarction occurs, the best way is to take sublingual nitroglycerin or quick-acting heart pills, and immediately go to the hospital emergency department. During the Spring Festival, pay attention to proper rest, do not smoke too much, drink too much and eat too much high-fat food. Once you have high risk cardiovascular symptoms, please seek medical attention promptly and do not hesitate to avoid delaying the rescue.
