Presses in the chest - that we will treat?

Ischemic disease, myocarditis, infarction, angina, pleurisy, stomach ulcer ... These different diseases combine one circumstance. Patients complain about the pressure in the chest, burning and pain. In order to establish the nature of the disease, the specialist will certainly specify when the pain sensations appear and then disappear, whether there is any difficulty in swallowing. The first examination, which the doctor assigns to the patient with complaints that he "bakes in the chest" - ECG.

One of the diseases that can cause an attack of pain in the chest is angina. In this case, a person suddenly feels like pressing in the chest, the pain covers the left half of the sternum, sometimes gives under the scapula, in the kidney and lower jaw, reaching the fingers. The attack of angina is accompanied by a state of anxiety, depression and occurs most often in a state of physical, mental or emotional stress. There may also be nausea, pallor of the skin, increased sweating.

A classic attack of gastrointestinal disease is easy to distinguish from angina pectoris, but atypical manifestations are very similar. The patient complains that he presses in the chest, burns behind the sternum. Symptoms are similar to complaints of patients with angina pectoris, but a diaphragmatic hernia, ulcer or cholecystitis can manifest itself.

The attack of chronic cholecystitis is distinguished from angina pectoris particularly difficult. Burning pain in the chest is typical for both diseases, but in the first case the sensation of soreness is more pronounced than burning sensation. Pain with diaphragmatic hernia usually occurs in the morning, when a person is in bed, in a horizontal position. In pathologies of the gastrointestinal tract, pain often occurs after eating, but never against the background of physical exertion.

If the patient complains that he is burning in the chest, and the pain sensations are intensified by inhalation, the doctor can diagnose pericarditis. In this case, the pain is felt when swallowing and gives to the neck.

Today, the heart attack significantly younger. Among the patients of cardiological clinics there are also twenty-year olds. That is why most of us, if pressed in the chest, immediately remember this dangerous disease.
Myocardial infarction is the withering away of the tissues of the heart muscle, caused by a violation of its blood supply. During the attack, dull pain occurs, accompanied by excessive sweating, dizziness and noise in the ears, nausea and vomiting. Pain is not related to breathing and does not depend on the position of the body. In individual cases, a person does not feel pain, only a strong weakness.

The burning sensation in the chest during breathing or coughing is one of the signs of tracheitis. This disease is often accompanied by high fever, dryness in the larynx, wheezing. It develops, as a rule, against influenza, colds, acute rhinitis and sinusitis. Unpleasant symptoms will help to remove inhalations based on essential oils, warming compresses.

It presses in the chest, burns, bakes behind the breastbone, it hurts in the chest on the left ... It is possible to list such symptoms for a very long time. Of course, the cause of the pain should be established only by a specialist with a thorough individual examination. But how to be a man who first encountered pain in his chest? I must say that actions to alleviate the condition of the patient at home are very limited.

If the pain is accompanied by anxiety symptoms characteristic of myocardial infarction, you need to go to the doctor immediately, without delay, even for tomorrow. In other cases with diagnostics, too, should not be delayed. Ulcer and acute cholecystitis - the diseases are far from harmless. People suffering from heart disease should always have the medications the doctor prescribed to ease the attack. Keep them better in an easily accessible place, for example, in your pocket, so that if necessary, do not lose valuable time.
