As the temperature gradually rises, many patients with coronary heart disease begin to relax their vigilance. As everyone knows, the changeable temperature in spring is the high incidence period of cardiovascular diseases. Recently, I met an old patient in the outpatient clinic, and he ate two pieces of braised pork because of greed, and was sent to the emergency department in the middle of the night with chest pain. This reminds us that patients with coronary heart disease need to be more cautious in their spring health.

1. 2 Don't eat: These foods should be kept away

1. High-fat foods

High-fat delicacies such as braised pork, fried chicken, and cream cake are "sweet traps" for patients with coronary heart disease. Excessive fat intake can lead to increased blood viscosity and increase the burden on the heart. In particular, animal offal and fatty meat contain a large amount of saturated fatty acids, which can easily induce angina.

2. High salt food

Foods with high salt content, such as pickles, bacon, and instant noodles, will make blood pressure "go on a rocket". Too much sodium can lead to water and sodium retention, increasing blood volume and forcing the heart to work "overtime". Spring is already prone to blood pressure fluctuations, and eating high-salt foods is tantamount to adding fuel to the fire.

2. 3 Don'ts: These behaviors should be avoided

1. Don't suddenly go into dramatic movements

Seeing the crowd of people exercising in the park, many patients with coronary heart disease are also eager to try. But suddenly, high-intensity exercise can catch the heart off guard. It is recommended to choose gentle exercises such as walking and tai chi, and gradually increase the amount of exercise.

2. Don't neglect to keep warm

"Spring cover and autumn frost" is particularly important for patients with coronary heart disease. When the temperature difference between morning and evening is large, blood vessels are prone to spasm and contraction, inducing myocardial infarction. Bring a jacket when you go out, and pay special attention to protect your chest and back from the cold.

3. Don't stop without permission

Some patients feel that the weather is warm and their symptoms are reduced, so they reduce or stop taking the medication on their own, which is a very dangerous behavior. Medication adjustments must be made as prescribed, as abrupt discontinuation may lead to recurrence or even exacerbation of the condition.

Spring advice for patients with coronary heart disease

1. Monitor blood pressure and heart rate every day and record changes

2. The diet is mainly light, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables and whole grains

3. Maintain a regular schedule and avoid staying up late and overwork

4. Carry first-aid medicines, such as nitroglycerin, with you when you go out

5. Keep your mood happy and avoid emotional ups and downs

Spring is a good time to nourish the heart, and patients with coronary heart disease should seize this opportunity for conditioning. Keeping these dietary and behavioral taboos in mind and working with your doctor will help your heart survive this changeable season. If you have uncomfortable symptoms such as chest tightness and shortness of breath, you must seek medical attention in time, and do not brace hard. A healthy lifestyle is the best medicine to protect your heart.
