The doctor emphasized that, first of all, with chestpain, it is necessary to level the load: you need to sit down, if necessary, even on the ground, relax. In no case should you take painkillers and relieve chest pain with nitroglycerin and other nitrates, especially at low pressure.
Also, you can’t massage the place where pain is felt, apply ice and just something chilled, and you can’t drink cold water and a soda solution to relieve pain and burning.
The specialist said that even if the pain went away on its own or after taking medication, it is still necessary to consult a doctor for advice.
“Any load must be stopped immediately.It doesn't matter if you got pain while jogging or if your heart sank while walking in the park. Stop immediately, sit down - at least on the ground, make sure that the load stops, ”the cardiologist recommended.
