Heartburn is mainly caused by angina pectoris, reflux esophagitis, costochondritis and other diseases.
1. Angina: the narrowing of the coronary arteries on the surface of the patient’s heart leads to a decrease in blood flow, and the hemoglobin that transports oxygen through the blood decreases accordingly, and the patient suffers from myocardial hypoxia, which leads to gripping pain in the heart.
2. Reflux esophagitis: the duodenal contents of the patient’s stomach flow back into the esophagus, resulting in damage to the esophageal mucosa, and the acidic substances in the stomach flow back into the esophagus, causing certain damage to the esophageal mucosa, which results in the symptoms of erosion and breakage and the corresponding pain in the heart area.
3. Costal chondritis: after overwork and strain, bacterial infection leads to a certain degree of inflammation of the cartilage in the junction area of the sternum and the ribs, which will cause the proliferation of costal cartilage over time, and the patient will experience severe pain and the formation of localized masses, and there are obvious pressure points, and there is also the case of pain in the heart.
The heart gripping pain should be timely to the hospital for medical treatment, cooperate with the doctor for treatment, to prevent the deterioration of the condition.
