Angina first aid points

In TCM theory, angina pectoris can be treated with first aid by pressing the Zhiyang point, located in the depression below the spinous process of the seventh thoracic vertebra. However, in Western medicine, it is recommended that if angina attacks, one should try to remain at rest, sit down nearby, take nitroglycerin, compound salvia drops, or heart pills under the tongue, and measure blood pressure and heart rate. If the blood pressure is not low and the heart rate is fast at this time, you can also take a combination of bisoprolol or metoprolol. If you do not see significant relief of symptoms after taking the medication, call 120 and go to the hospital to further rule out whether the patient has developed acute coronary syndrome. The theory of Chinese medicine to press acupuncture points can only temporarily relieve the discomfort or possibly provide slight relief from such painful symptoms, but systematic examination and treatment should still be performed for a safer approach.
