There are many times when angina pain is not necessarily located in the heart, often angina pain is widespread or in a part of the chest, so it is difficult to tell if it is angina or stomach pain. Whether it is angina or stomach pain, it is necessary to judge according to the time of the pain, the place of the pain, the duration and other aspects. Let’s take a look at it together. 1, the time of pain The most common triggers of angina are exertion, emotional excitement, overfeeding, constipation, cold, smoking, drinking and so on, in addition to tachycardia or bradycardia, high or low blood pressure, shock and so on can also be triggered. But the pain generally appear in the activity at the time, not after exertion, some patients fixed occurred in the middle of the night or early morning, lasting several minutes or more than ten minutes, after rest or medication can be relieved; and most of the stomach pain is not fixed time, often in the meal or after the meal is easy to occur stomach pain. 2, the place of pain angina pectoris site wide and varied, the typical site is in the chest right after the center, the pain range is not very limited, about the size of a fist or palm, can involve the precordial area or the sternum, sometimes can be radiated to the teeth, the left shoulder, the left arm, the pharynx or the epigastric region. Stomach pain is usually in the upper abdomen. 3, the way of pain About 60% of the angina pectoris patients symptoms of pressure-like or tight pain, often accompanied by anxiety or fear of dying. There are also some patients who describe the pain as burning or dull pain, but rarely described as needle-like, knife-like pain. If the pain when tossing and turning, tossing and turning is generally not angina. 4, duration angina is generally paroxysmal, lasting 3-5 minutes will gradually disappear, usually no more than fifteen minutes or half an hour. Continuous pain for more than a few hours or days, or pain lasting only a few seconds are generally not angina. The duration of stomach pain depends on the situation and condition of each person, and the duration is not fixed. 5, the way to relieve angina generally stop the activities that trigger symptoms can be relieved, or sublingual nitroglycerin can also be relieved within 3 minutes. Stomach pain needs to be based on the patient’s symptoms to determine the appropriate medication. Because angina and stomach pain pain occurs in a similar place, are in the upper abdomen pain, many middle-aged and elderly people are very easy to mistakenly heart disease as a stomach disease medication treatment and delay the best treatment period. Middle-aged and elderly people who suddenly appear chest pain or epigastric pain, do not easily conclude that the stomach pain, should first be considered for angina pectoris or myocardial infarction may be. If sublingual nitroglycerin or fast-acting heart pill pain relief, the vast majority of heart disease, should go to the hospital as soon as possible for further examination and treatment.
