Panic in the heart of the elderly may be due to coronary atherosclerotic heart disease, hyperthyroidism, myocardial ischemia and other diseases.
1. Coronary atherosclerotic heart disease: atherosclerotic lesions occur in the coronary artery vessels of the elderly, resulting in stenosis or a certain degree of blockage of blood vessels, which leads to myocardial hypoxia and necrosis. Due to the abnormal blood supply, the elderly will have arrhythmia, which will lead to the symptoms of panic in the heart of the elderly.
2. Hyperthyroidism: when the thyroid gland synthesizes and releases too much thyroid hormone, the body’s metabolism will be enhanced, the body undergoes redox reactions, gastrointestinal activity is further enhanced, stimulating sympathetic nerve excitation, which in turn manifests symptoms such as panic attacks and insomnia in the elderly.
3. Myocardial ischemia: insufficient blood supply to the myocardium, resulting in insufficient oxygen supply, leading to insufficient myocardial contractility, resulting in heart failure in the elderly, and there will be symptoms of panic in the elderly.
Elderly people need to go to the hospital in time, follow the doctor’s instructions to take medication, cooperate with the doctor’s treatment, to prevent the progress of the disease.
