Old Suntou, I have had a toothache for several days. I bought some anti-inflammatory medicine, but it still hurts after eating it.
It hurts for a few minutes at a time, especially when going upstairs, and a toothache when walking fast.
Later, my wife said that traditional Chinese medicine is slow, so I took some anti-inflammatory drugs, so I bought some metronidazole to eat, but the effect was still not obvious. If the child says no, go to see if the tooth is about to fall out, or if there is any problem.
Old Suntou said that it is inconvenient to go out recently, and we will talk about it later.
At 6:45 p.m., Lao Sun turned on the TV and prepared to watch the news broadcast as usual.
Before the news broadcast started, Lao Sun’s teeth hurt again, and his wife brought him a few peppercorns and said: “Hang, I told you to see if you didn’t go.” Put the pepper in your mouth first, and it won’t hurt for a while.
Lao Sun had started the news after Han Jiao, but the toothache did not ease. In addition, the old Sun also experienced chest tightness, suffocation, sweating, black eyes, dizziness and other discomforts.
Old Sun said: Hurry up and call me 120, I can’t do it anymore.
Old Sun is usually able to carry it, or else he has been suffering from toothache for so many days and has not gone to the hospital. This time, I suddenly asked to hit 120. It seems that Lao Sun is really uncomfortable.
After 120 arrived, an electrocardiogram was done immediately to prompt: 3rd degree atrioventricular block, acute inferior wall myocardial infarction.
Promptly administered vasopressors, oral aspirin and ticagrelor, and contacted the Chest Pain Center.
The family, including Lao Sun, were stunned. What is myocardial infarction, and what is 3rd degree atrioventricular block, the heart will stop at any time…
A regular reader of popular science may know that heart disease can sometimes manifest as a toothache.
So what are the characteristics of toothache itself, and what are the characteristics of toothache caused by heart disease?
One, the characteristics of toothache
1. It has something to do with eating, such as eating hot and cold sour and sweet. After these stimuli, the toothache that occurs is generally the pain of the tooth itself.
2. It has something to do with biting things, such as gnawing on bones, eating nuts and other hard things. Toothache occurs, usually the pain of the teeth itself.
3. Able to point out a specific tooth, such as incisors, old teeth, tiger teeth, etc., can point out this tooth, and even touch it with hands will hurt, generally teeth own pain.
4. The gums are swollen, and the cheeks are swollen even if you can touch them, so it is usually the pain of the teeth themselves.
5. Toothache will cause toothache when you brush your teeth. Usually, it doesn’t hurt, but when you brush your teeth hard, the tooth will hurt. Then this kind of toothache is the pain of the tooth itself.
6. Loose teeth. Many elderly people have loose teeth, and the pain of loose teeth is also the pain of the teeth themselves.
7. Wisdom teeth problems, many people’s wisdom teeth are long and crooked, the gap between the teeth is not easy to clean, and it is easy to get toothache. This kind of toothache can also specifically point out the pain in a certain part, and The pain is aggravated when stimulated with a toothbrush, and this toothache is a problem with the teeth itself.
Basically, the toothache caused by the teeth is based on these major characteristics. In line with the above-mentioned characteristics of toothache, the first thing to consider is the problem of the teeth itself.
Second, the heart causes toothache
If the above 7 characteristics of teeth are absent, and the following characteristics are present, then heart disease, that is, toothache caused by angina pectoris, should be suspected.
1. I can’t find the specific tooth that hurts. It’s a pain. It feels like a toothache, but I don’t know which tooth it is.
2. Every pain has nothing to do with eating, eating, or brushing your teeth. Each pain is only a few minutes, generally no less than 2 minutes, no more than 15 minutes, and most of them are in 3- 5 minutes or so.
3. In addition to toothache, it is often accompanied by symptoms such as chest tightness, suffocation, sweating, and discomfort.
4. The most typical feature is related to activities, that is, going upstairs, running, walking, exercising, working, etc., the toothache will be relieved, and the toothache will be relieved after a few minutes of rest. .
Old Suntou’s toothache is a very typical angina pectoris. It only hurts when going upstairs or walking fast. It lasts for 3-5 minutes each time, and sometimes it is accompanied by chest tightness and suffocation. . It has nothing to do with eating, biting, brushing your teeth, etc.
But Lao Sun’s family has no common sense of cardiovascular disease, so they dragged on and on, and finally dragged angina pectoris into myocardial infarction, and 3rd degree atrioventricular block occurred, almost gave life.
Fortunately, 15 minutes after the last toothache, Lao Sun asked his family to dial 120, sent to the hospital to open the blood vessels, and the 3rd degree AV block was also recovered. normal.
What a blessing in a misfortune!
