Firstly, the two are mutually influencing. If this condition exists, some medications that improve sleep quality can be used under the guidance of a doctor. At the same time, during the treatment period, it is appropriate to drink some teas like ginkgo leaf tea, honeysuckle tea, or soybean sprout tea, which have the effect of nourishing the heart and calming the mind. It is also important to maintain regular bowel movements, avoid noisy environments, and regularly monitor blood pressure and heart rate.

Patients of this category are also advised not to eat overly greasy foods, to lose weight appropriately, and to eat more fresh vegetables and fruits like mushrooms, garlic shoots, onions, and kiwis. Do not smoke, avoid staying up late and overworking, and, if possible, use some medications that soften the arteries and improve microcirculation. It is also important to maintain emotional stability, among other things.

(Specific medications should be used under the guidance of a physician.)

Is coronary heart disease hereditary?

Coronary heart disease involves genetic factors, but it is not solely due to this factor; multiple factors are involved, including arterial wall cells, extracellular base blood components, and the local hemodynamic environment, all of which can have an impact. Therefore, there is a certain familial aggregation, meaning if there are patients with coronary heart disease in the family, the risk of developing the disease is also increased.

Coronary heart disease is related to anemia.

Coronary heart disease and anemia are not the same type of diseases; they differ in mechanisms of onset, clinical symptoms, and treatment methods. Coronary heart disease is caused by long-term arteriosclerosis, leading to narrowing of the coronary arteries, which causes ischemia and damage to the myocardium, hence it is called coronary heart disease. The treatment for coronary heart disease involves the use of medications to improve blood supply by dilating the coronary arteries, as well as medications to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis. Anemia is due to a reduction in blood cells, causing ischemia in peripheral tissues and organs, leading to a series of clinical manifestations. Treatment involves supplementing blood or providing hematopoietic elements, depending on the cause of the anemia.

What foods are suitable for coronary heart disease?

Patients with coronary heart disease should eat light, easily digestible foods, opt for low-salt and low-fat options, and consume plenty of fresh vegetables and fruits. Foods rich in dietary fiber, such as wheat, oats, and buckwheat, can also be eaten in moderation. Avoid foods high in animal fats and cholesterol, as well as salt-rich preserved items. In addition to dietary adjustments, patients with coronary heart disease should engage in reasonable exercise, effectively control their weight, maintain a good psychological state, and avoid overwork and staying up late, ensuring ample sleep at night. It is important to actively control risk factors such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and high blood cholesterol, provide long-term standardized medication treatment for coronary heart disease, and maintain stability of the condition.

Coronary heart disease has no symptoms.

Coronary heart disease refers to the narrowing or blockage of the coronary arteries, leading to ischemia, hypoxia, or even necrosis of myocardial cells, which is a type of heart disease. Its full name should be coronary artery atherosclerotic heart disease, commonly known as coronary heart disease. Coronary heart disease can be divided into five types: The first type is occult or asymptomatic coronary heart disease. The second type is angina pectoris, the third type is myocardial infarction, the fourth type is ischemic cardiomyopathy, and the fifth type is sudden death. Among these, patients with occult or asymptomatic coronary heart disease may not have obvious symptoms or any symptoms at all, so a person without symptoms does not necessarily mean they do not have coronary heart disease. Whether a patient has coronary heart disease should still be determined by a specialist based on relevant examinations.

What are the symptoms of coronary heart disease?

The most typical manifestation of coronary heart disease is angina pectoris, but it can also present as chest tightness, chest pain, paroxysmal tachycardia, fatigue, decreased endurance, a feeling of throat constriction, numbness in the upper limbs, and even symptoms related to the digestive tract such as upper abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. Many patients with coronary heart disease do not show obvious symptoms, and the onset might present as myocardial infarction or sudden death, which is very frightening. Therefore, if symptoms of coronary heart disease are noticed, it is crucial to seek medical treatment at a hospital as soon as possible. Middle-aged and elderly people should have regular physical examinations. Young people who stay up late, smoke, or are addicted to video games, among other bad habits, can also develop coronary heart disease, so it is important to be mindful of these behaviors.
