Heart pain, vomiting, chills. Heart pain, nausea and dizziness: similar symptoms of various pathologies

Nausea and vomiting are extremely negative manifestations that arise in connection with specific abnormal conditions or pathologies of the body. And today we will talk about how nausea and vomiting manifests itself in heart disease: heart attack, arrhythmia, myocardial infarction, heart failure and others.

What are nausea and vomiting

Nausea manifests itself an unpleasant feeling emptiness in the stomach and approaching oral cavity waves of lightheadedness, often accompanied by a pressing pain in the head. Unpleasant sensations develop and increase in the stomach and esophagus. Nausea is often accompanied by vomiting - a sudden, painful and often repeated - spasm of the stomach and the release of food masses treated with hydrochloric acid through the mouth.

Nausea and vomiting are so pronounced and cause so much discomfort and unpleasant sensations that it is not difficult to detect them in yourself. These are obvious symptoms. Symptoms of nausea and vomiting may also sometimes be accompanied by dizziness, headache or pain in the heart and fever - it all depends on the specific case.

Experts will tell you what nausea and vomiting are and why they are dangerous in the video below:

Types of symptoms

Often, manifestations of nausea and vomiting are symptoms of internal diseases that are not detected or treated in time, or acute conditions in which immediate medical attention is urgently needed. As a rule, vomit consists of semi-digested products, the mucous contents of the stomach. Vomiting bitter bile is usually a sign of exacerbation of cholecystitis. The so-called “fecal vomiting” accompanies intestinal obstruction.

The main complication of vomiting, which is especially difficult for children, is dehydration caused by massive loss of fluid, sugars and mineral salts.

Usually, nausea and vomiting do not appear separately, but in combination with other unhealthy manifestations:

pain or cramps in the stomach and/or intestines;
darkening of the eyes;
severe weakness;
increased heart rate, perspiration, severe sweating;
copious amounts of saliva with a sour or bitter taste in the mouth;
belching, diarrhea, increased gas formation;
muscle pain, skin soreness (with severe intoxication);
, fever and chills;
pain in the back of the head, squeezing pain in the head;
yellowness of the skin, sclera.

We will discuss below the causes of nausea and vomiting in adults and children with heart disease.

What diseases may this symptom indicate?

Cardiogenic diseases

Heart pathologies, in addition to chest pain, are often accompanied by nausea and even paroxysmal vomiting. This is an alarming symptom of life-threatening problems in the function or structure of the heart. These include the following:

Insufficiency of the pumping function of the heart

Very often accompanied by nausea, flatulence, constipation, paroxysmal vomiting and other symptoms of dyspepsia. This happens due to the following reasons:

Functional impairment digestive organs to varying degrees due to hypoxia (oxygen deficiency in tissues) and reflex influences.
Abnormal change in structure muscle tissue myocardium, decreased cardiac function, which leads to an increase in intracardiac pressure, tissue swelling in the chest and peritoneum, and nausea.
Often nausea and vomiting with weak activity the heart manifests itself as by-effect effects of drugs used in therapy (,).

Myocardial infarction

In addition to the regular appearance of a burning sensation and sharp pain attacks in the heart, sometimes already 3 to 5 days before a painful feeling of nausea develops. The symptom is quite typical for acute development similar disturbances in the functioning of the myocardium. , is replaced sharp drop pressure, nausea and vomiting attacks, together with a feeling of incomprehensible fear and “dagger” pain in the chest.

With a typical heart attack, the patient feels a burning pain in the heart, numbness in the arm, and radiating pain in the jaw, shoulder, and shoulder blade, but these are standard symptoms. Often, nausea is the only symptom of a painless pathology, which is manifested by many atypical symptoms. More often this concerns women, whose heart attack is sometimes almost asymptomatic.

This video will tell you which diseases are most often accompanied by vomiting and nausea:

Digestive organs

General information

Nausea and vomiting often reflect the external manifestation of the following painful conditions digestive tract:

acute forms of diseases requiring immediate hospitalization and surgical treatment: appendicitis, pancreatitis, stone blockage of the ducts that remove bile;
peritonitis, intestinal obstruction, bleeding due to perforation of ulceration of the intestines and stomach, cholecystitis.

In these acute conditions, not just nausea and vomiting develop, but a whole complex of symptoms, where the main one is pain.

chronic pathologies: gastritis, gastroesophagitis with periodic heartburn, gallstones, hiatal hernia in the esophagus, enterocolitis, stomach and intestinal ulcers, duodenitis;
hepatitis, liver cirrhosis;
immunity to certain products (allergies);
gastroparesis (dysfunction of muscle contractions);
dyskinesia of the bile ducts (especially common in childhood and adolescence if there is a large amount of fat in the diet);
inflammatory processes in the intestines, including Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, irritable bowel;
diverticulum in the esophagus, intestines;
tumors of various origins;
defects of the digestive system: stenosis (narrowing) of the lumen of the esophagus or gastric pylorus, atresia of the digestive tract (fusion of the canals);
food poisoning, helminthiasis, viral gastroenteritis;
foreign objects that have entered the digestive organs
diverticulum or neoplasms of the esophagus, stomach, intestines.

Individual states

For individual painful conditions, the characteristics of nausea and vomiting are not the same and differ in intensity, frequency of vomiting attacks, duration, and specificity of vomit.

Gastritis with low acidity, it is often accompanied by unpleasant nausea, independent of the type of food, but not vomiting. The peculiarity is that it increases after eating (but not always). More often, the symptom worries patients suffering from a complex of diseases, for example, gastritis and cholecystitis or pancreatitis.
The combination of nausea and vomiting occurs more often in patients with abnormally active secretion gastric juice or suffering from "ulcers". High concentration hydrochloric acid corrodes the mucous membrane, and vomiting is the only way that helps remove the contents from the stomach and bring relief. In peptic ulcers, vomited food has a sour odor.
At inflammation of the intestines vomiting usually occurs during exacerbation, signaling the progression of the disease.
At gallbladder pathologies, liver attacks of nausea and vomiting almost always appear in combination with other symptoms characteristic of these diseases: bitter taste in the mouth, beer-like urine, lightened feces, itching of the skin caused by the activity of liver enzymes, yellow tint skin and sclera of the eyes.

Other pathologies

In addition to diseases of the heart and digestive organs, symptoms of nausea and vomiting are very often present in severe pathological conditions nervous system and are observed in the following diseases:

Brain injuries, including swelling, contusion, and compression;
Brain infections - meningitis;
neurosyphilis and HIV;
borreliosis;
poisons secreted by staphylococci, enteroviruses, streptococci, salmonella, coli, cholera vibrio, clostridia;
diabetes,
high and blood pressure;
poor kidney function, kidney stones;
pathology inner ear- Meniere's disease or labyrinthitis;
diseases associated with the endocrine system: hypothyroidism, phenylketonuria and ketoacidosis (with a high risk of coma), thyrotoxicosis, adrenal dysfunction;
acute poisoning, cerebral hemorrhage, sepsis;
nausea is a constant “companion” of patients who undergo radiation and chemotherapy for cancer.

Read below about the treatment options for nausea and vomiting.

If no problems are identified

Nausea and vomiting can be non-dangerous functional states, that is, they are the body’s response to a stressful situation, an extremely unpleasant pungent odor, or prolonged nervous tension. In this case, a serious illness that can provoke nausea or vomiting is not detected.

Possible causative factors independent of any pathologies:

motion sickness in vehicles or on water (kinetosis);
overeating, high fat diet;
negative side effect from medications;
penetration into the body of toxins from spoiled foods, fumes, chemicals;
psychogenic nausea with fear, nervousness, strong psycho-emotional stress;
the period of bearing a child (nausea, as a rule, disappears by the beginning of the 2nd trimester);
overheating (hyperthermia), sunstroke;

How to deal with them

General rules

Symptoms of nausea and bouts of vomiting often signal minor or extremely dangerous disorders in the body. Therefore, before eliminating a symptom, it is worth analyzing the patient’s condition and all other abnormal manifestations.

Particular attention should be paid to nausea, which is accompanied by the following symptoms:

chest pain (possible heart attack);
black stool, blood in stool and vomit (internal bleeding, perforation of an ulcer, intestinal perforation);
any sharp pain in the abdomen ( acute inflammation peritoneum or digestive organs, termination of pregnancy);
vomiting and nausea in the 2nd – 3rd trimester often warn of a sharp rise in blood pressure and the possible development of preeclampsia, which threatens the life of the fetus and mother, treatment of which is carried out only in an obstetric hospital;
severe or shallow breathing, (myocardial failure, pulmonary pathologies, asthma);
impairment of consciousness (coma due to hypoglycemia and other severe conditions)
(inflammation of various organs, systems, tissues, infection, blood poisoning);
intense headache, rigidity (rigidity, inflexibility) of the occipital muscles;
, profuse sweat, cold and sticky, fear of death, panic.

The appearance of these signs, along with nausea or vomiting, warns of the onset of life-threatening conditions, which require immediate consultation with a doctor, and sometimes a call to the resuscitation team.

In addition, consultation with a doctor is mandatory if nausea occurs after a head injury.
In the case of nausea, combined with chest pain of varying severity and other alarming symptoms, an accurate diagnosis is urgently needed to identify the cause. For example, to relieve nausea due to disorders of the heart and vascular function, medications are required to reduce blood pressure, improving heart function, vascular condition, blood properties.
Treatment of vegetative vascular disorders usually includes complex use sedatives, antidepressants, and sometimes tranquilizers, which also relieve the feeling of nausea.
In case of a heart attack, relieving the symptom of nausea or stopping vomiting attacks is impossible without active inpatient therapy, which depends on the degree of damage to the heart muscle. The time factor here is extremely important - cell restoration is possible if (the limit is 12 hours from the onset of the attack).

Only a pediatrician prescribes medications for nausea in a child. Following nausea, the child often begins to vomit, which threatens dehydration. Therefore, in case of sudden vomiting (repeated), especially in small children, with elevated temperature, diarrhea, parents should immediately call an ambulance.

If a child has an acute intestinal pathology (intestinal perforation, appendicitis), brain injury, symptoms of meningeal irritation or intestinal infection(for infants) - urgent hospitalization follows.
When vomiting in children, measures must be taken to restore the fluid and minerals that “gone” with the vomit. Use: Regidron, Hydrovit, 5% glucose in a ratio of 2 to 1. Within 6 hours, the baby should drink 100 ml of liquid per 1 kg of body weight (or 1 teaspoon of solution every 5 - 10 minutes). Then the child continues to drink in a volume of 100 ml per 1 kg of weight per 24 hours.

Medicines for nausea and vomiting

Common anti-nausea and vomiting medications are used for specific illnesses or conditions that they may help.

Thus, anti-nausea medications during pregnancy will not help eliminate nausea during a heart attack, hemorrhage, hypoglycemia, or internal bleeding. All medications have a fairly large number of contraindications; most are prohibited when carrying a baby due to the threat of abortion and danger to the development of the baby.
Many should not be taken by children, people suffering from glaucoma, high pressure and in other cases, which must be taken into account so as not to cause harm. Therefore, any listing of medications is a general overview.

An overview list of medications that relieve nausea for specific indications:

Aeron for motion sickness, Anestezin.
Cerucal (for radiation therapy, other pathologies).
Benzodiazepine tranquilizers alleviate fears, suppress the urge to vomit, eliminate nausea, calm after surgery: Rudotel, Seduxen, Relanium, Diazepam, Prazepam.
Pipolfen, Betaver, Betagistin, Betaserc, Vestibo, Vesical, Denoy, Betanorm, Tagista, Vazoserc, Betacentrin, Microzer, Bonin, Dimenhydrinate will help with labyrinthine disorders, dizziness, Meniere's disease.
Ciel, Aviamarin are also used for Meniere's syndrome, seasickness, vestibular disorders.
Vertigohel, homeopathic medicine Air-sea is indicated for nausea during motion sickness in any transport.
Nitrofurans. In case of poisoning, the first choice drugs are medications that suppress vital activity and bind enteroviruses, bacteria that poison the body with poisons - Furazolidone, cheap and effective drug, helps with vomiting and diarrhea. Besides it - Enterofuril, Stop-diar, Nifuraxazide.
Cerucal (metoclopramide), Riabal, No-Spasm (Prifinium Bromide), Motilium (domperidone), Buscopan are used directly for vomiting in gastric and intestinal disorders.
Zofran, Lotran, Tropisetron (Novoban, Tropindol), Domegan, Granisetron (Avomit, Kitril), Ondator, Ondansetron for nausea and vomiting during treatment cancerous tumors and in the period after the use of general anesthesia.

During nausea and vomiting during pregnancy:

Kokkulin, Splenin, Chofitol;
Herbal preparations for calming with motherwort, lemon balm, calendula herbs.

Even more useful tips Elena Malysheva will tell you how to cope with nausea and vomiting without a doctor in the video below:

Nausea is associated with cancer treatment (chemotherapy and radiation therapy), imbalance of blood electrolytes, and migraines.

Nausea may be a manifestation of such emergency conditions, such as poisoning, diabetic ketoacidosis, intestinal obstruction, cerebral hemorrhage, acute cardiovascular pathology, renal failure, liver failure, sepsis.

Most often, nausea does not appear independently, but in combination with other symptoms: abdominal pain, belching, diarrhea, increased gas formation, dyspepsia, vomiting, muscle pain, dizziness, severe fatigue, fever and chills, headache, yellowing of the skin and sclera.

Particular attention should be paid to the combination of nausea with the following symptoms: black stool or the presence of blood in the stool, the presence of blood in the vomit, severe abdominal pain, difficulty breathing, fainting, impaired consciousness, high body temperature (more than 38.5 ° C), rapid pulse, frequent shallow breathing, severe headache , stiff neck. The appearance of these symptoms indicates the development of a life-threatening condition, if detected, you should immediately consult a doctor. You should also definitely see a doctor if you feel sick after a head injury.

Examination of a patient with nausea.

Nausea is nonspecific symptom Many diseases, therefore, have diagnostic significance only in conjunction with other signs of the disease (for example, with signs of peritoneal irritation in acute appendicitis).

To determine the direction of the examination, it is necessary to conduct an active interview with the patient. So, if nausea is accompanied by other dyspeptic symptoms (belching, feeling of heaviness in the epigastric region etc.) and a relationship between the occurrence of nausea and food intake has been identified - diseases of the digestive system (gastritis, cholecystitis, pancreatitis, stomach tumor, etc.) should be assumed and a gastroenterological examination should be carried out; when nausea is combined with headache, sensitivity or movement disorders, a neurological examination, etc. is necessary.

Determine what medications the patient took. Drugs that often cause nausea and vomiting include: analgesics, cardiovascular drugs, hormonal agents, antibiotics, drugs that primarily act on the central nervous system, and antitumor agents. Drug use or withdrawal may also cause nausea or vomiting. If discontinuation of a drug is accompanied by the disappearance of nausea, we can assume that this disorder is associated with taking the drug, but it is necessary to ensure that there are no symptoms for a significant period of time after discontinuation of the drug.

Why does chest pain appear on the left side? Causes:

osteochondrosis (chest pain on the left appears after a hard day);
muscle spasms (chest pain on the left appears in the same way as with osteochondrosis, on the left, after physical exertion);
heart problems (discomfort on the left side may be accompanied by heaviness and strong sensations compactness).

Breast cancer is another disease that may cause pain in the left sternum. Why? In most cases, breast cancer affects the left breast, so women are observed following symptoms: tightness and pain in the chest on the left, discharge that has nothing to do with breastfeeding.

To avoid negative consequences, it is necessary to contact the clinic at the first symptoms (for example, severe chest pain on the left, accompanied by nausea and intermittent breathing) and begin treatment immediately.

Treatment for left chest pain may include:

medical intervention;
prescription of medications (the patient is prescribed, with the help of which it is possible to eliminate chest pain on the left side associated with problems with CCT);
psychotherapy;
taking analgesics (such drugs are prescribed for lung diseases and injuries).

During pregnancy, discomfort in the mammary gland mainly occurs in. Each woman experiences this period differently.

Pain during pregnancy can be aching, accompanied by a feeling of heaviness in the mammary gland. The expectant mother (during pregnancy) may feel tingling in the mammary gland.

During pregnancy, a woman may experience discomfort similar to the premenstrual state. During this period, expectant mothers often experience increased nipple sensitivity. Often during pregnancy, the breasts begin to hurt when lightly touched or pressed.

If you experience severe pain in the mammary gland, you should immediately undergo an examination. The reason why a woman experiences discomfort during pregnancy may be the formation of cracks in the nipples.

Also, the reason why a woman experiences discomfort in the mammary gland during pregnancy may be the development of a serious disease - mastitis/mastopathy.

To find out why your breasts hurt during pregnancy (especially yours), you need to contact your gynecologist. Why? The fact is that pregnancy progresses differently for every woman. During pregnancy, symptoms may occur at different periods, to varying degrees, or may not appear at all.

Treatment

To treat chest pain, you can use drugs such as paracetamol or similar drugs - with the help of them you can reduce the discomfort.

Treatment should not be carried out independently if the cause has not been identified. Otherwise, the patient's condition will only worsen.

In order to identify and cure the disease, it is necessary to undergo a full examination, which includes a stomach examination, ECG, ultrasound and more.

To identify and treat the disease, the doctor conducts a conversation with the patient, during which he learns about the history of cardiovascular diseases in familial amnesia, symptoms and the nature of chest pain.

We treat with folk remedies:

Coltsfoot will help treat mastitis. To cure the disease, a plant leaf is applied to the sore spot.
Stone oil will help treat inflammation and eliminate discomfort. To cure the disease, you need 2 tsp. Dilute this product in a glass with plenty of water, and then extract 200 ml of alcohol. Moisten a cloth in the resulting solution and apply it to your chest. To treat pain, do at least 15 procedures.
Cure mastopathy with beets. To treat the disease you need to grate the beets and add table vinegar. The resulting mass is spread on the affected area, covered with film and a towel on top. To cure the disease, you must keep the compress for at least 8 hours.
Cough symptoms can be treated with infusions of sage, calendula or rose hips.
We treat matsopathy with Kalanchoe. To treat the disease with the help of this home plant, you need to mix crushed Kalanchoe leaves with honey. Use after waking up on an empty stomach and before bed.

Remember that to treat a disease at home, it is necessary to correctly identify the cause.

Pain in the heart area is a sign of cardiac disorders and failures. If chest discomfort is accompanied by nausea, then there is a high probability of diseases in the gastrointestinal tract. Heart pain and nausea may be accompanied by additional symptoms in the form of: headache, vomiting, malaise and shortness of breath, which indicates pathologies affecting the main vital systems of the body. At the diagnostic stage, it is important to determine the primary factor that provoked the disease, manifested by heart pain and nausea.

There is a wide list of pathological risk sources that trigger the activation mechanism of heart pain and nausea. These include:

disorders of the cardiovascular system;
vegetative-vascular dystonia;
bronchitis, pneumonia;
hypertensive crisis;
dysfunction of the pancreas and liver.

Nausea and chest discomfort indicate disorders of the nervous or cardiovascular systems. When the heart rate increases, the salivation process accelerates, the breathing rhythm changes, blood pressure (BP) changes, and pain occurs in the heart area, involuntary irritation of the vomiting center occurs. Which is located next to the autonomic, vasomotor and respiratory centers.

Banal overeating, leading to stretching of the walls of the stomach, can also cause nausea and compression of the vessels adjacent to the main organ. One should not exclude from the list of reasons the use of certain medicines, whose metabolites are capable of activating receptors of the vomiting center.

It is characterized by functional changes in the anatomical nature of the heart, which lead to swelling of the abdomen and legs, increased blood pressure: the patient begins to experience chest pain and attacks of nausea.

Violation of the pumping function of the organ is accompanied by: constipation, flatulence, nausea, vomiting. This clinical picture is caused by disruptions in the functioning of the stomach and intestines, changes in reflexes and hypoxia. Risk factors also include changes in the structure of the myocardial muscle tissue, which negatively affect the function of the heart and increase the pressure inside the organ, which leads to tissue swelling in the abdominal and sternal area.

A feeling of discomfort in the epigastric region with heart failure occurs due to stagnation of blood in the vessels and swelling in the lungs.

Tachycardia

A symptomatic condition that is manifested by an increase in the frequency of contractions of the heart muscle (more than 100 beats per minute). The body reacts with a rapid pulse to stressful situations, extreme physical activity, oxygen starvation, overwork and taking medications. The patient is recorded:

headache;
nausea;
frequent pulsation of veins in the cervical regions;
fainting states.

Tachycardia is treated with medications, breathing exercises and herbal medicine.

Coronary heart disease (CHD)

It is characterized by a pathological condition in which the coronary arteries are clogged or reduced in the lumen, and a lack of blood supply is recorded in the heart muscle.

The patient feels a burning, stabbing pain in the chest after physical activity, which gradually disappears during the period of rest. IHD causes discomfort in the form of:

shortness of breath;
increased sweating;
radiating pain to the shoulder blade, left arm, neck;
dizziness;
nausea;
arrhythmias.

Therapy for coronary heart disease is based on taking medications, following special diet, limitation physical activity.

Angina pectoris

It is positioned as an ailment that manifests itself in the form of acute chest pain, the source of which is a deficiency of blood supply to the myocardium. Angina pectoris is considered one of the forms of manifestation of coronary artery disease. Risk factors include: arterial hypertension, obesity, excessive physical activity, bad habits, psycho-emotional stress. The patient feels:

chest pain;
shortness of breath;
nausea;
vomiting;
presence of a foreign object inside;
panic attacks.

The following medications are effective in treating angina: special mode nutrition, physical activity in acceptable amounts, traditional medicine recipes, abstinence from alcohol and tobacco.

Heart attack

It is the initial form of myocardial infarction, in which a sudden disruption of blood circulation occurs and the development of necrotization in the structure of the heart muscle. The list of main causes of the pathological condition includes: lack of physical activity long time, uncontrolled use of nonsteroidal drugs, diabetes mellitus, atherosclerosis of the coronary vessels, dysmetabolic syndrome.

The patient suffers from burning pain behind the sternum, which can radiate to the shoulder girdle and neck, and he experiences difficulty breathing (shortness of breath). Activation of an attack of nausea and a gag reflex are not pronounced signs of pathologies of a cardiac nature, but indicate the presence of concomitant disorders relating to the gastrointestinal tract system. Rehabilitation of patients with a disease that is fraught fatal, includes drug therapy, surgical intervention, physical therapy and diet.

Hypertensive crisis

Refers to pathological conditions when there is a sharp increase in blood pressure, which leads to vascular hypertonicity and increased blood circulation. Diseases of the central nervous system, liver, endocrine system, hormonal imbalances are common factors in the development of a hypertensive crisis.

At risk are patients who are obese, abuse bad habits, are regularly exposed to stress, and experience excessive physical activity. Symptoms of the disorder may include:

headache;
chills;
nausea (vomiting);
noise in ears;
discomfort in the heart area;
flickering of flies before the eyes.

Treatment of hypertensive crisis is based on the prescription pharmacological agents, diet and exercise.

Vegetative-vascular dystonia (VSD)

Belongs to the category of functional disorders related to the regulation of the respiratory, cardiovascular (less often other) systems. VSD is not considered a separate disease, but is a complex of symptomatic manifestations indicating the presence of mental and somatic illnesses.

Nervous tension (depression, stress), genetic predisposition, alcohol abuse, exhausting physical activity/sedentary lifestyle are the main factors that create favorable conditions for the development of vegetative-vascular dystonia. The patient may feel:

heartache;
malaise;
headache;
nausea;
cardiopalmus;
blood pressure changes;
insomnia.

VSD therapy is aimed at restoring the patient’s physical and psycho-emotional state.

Pancreas and liver disorders

Certain types of pathologies related to dysfunction of these digestive organs may be accompanied by pain in the chest. Deterioration of liver function leads to disruption of the circulation of biologically active elements through the vessels and an increase in the concentration of substances that have a vasodilating effect. Cirrhosis (poor protein synthesis and disturbances in electrolyte metabolism) creates favorable conditions for the development of heart pathologies.

Inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis) can aggravate attacks of angina/tachycardia and provoke an exacerbation of dangerous pathologies. The patient feels severe pain in the chest, during which it is difficult to determine which organ is actually affected (heart, stomach, liver, kidneys). Additional symptoms of pancreatitis include: diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, belching, paleness skin. Treatment of pathologies of the liver and pancreas, manifested by heart pain and nausea, includes the prescription of medications and a special diet.

Distinctive signs of heart pain from other colics

Diseases that affect main body human body, are almost always accompanied by pain syndromes on the left side chest. If discomfort from the heart area is transferred to the neck, shoulder or chin, then there is a high probability of myocardial infarction. The pain is long lasting.

With angina pectoris, colic goes away within 15-20 minutes: they become active at the same time of day (after physical exertion). Pericarditis is characterized by gradually increasing pain (from minor tingling to acute cardialgia). Discomfort intensifies during swallowing food, after changing body position and performing active movements. The unpleasant syndrome is weakened if the patient presses his legs to his chest or lies on his right side.

General signs of cardiac colic are as follows:

the pain is burning, stabbing, pressing, shooting in nature;
pain increases after mental and physical exertion;
the pain radiates to neighboring areas of the body (arm, neck, jaw).

Chest discomfort can be relieved by taking nitroglycerin and prescribing a rest regimen.

Lack of air in heart pathologies occurs after physical activity or overeating. Colic in the heart area is accompanied by another unpleasant symptom - tissue swelling: on initial stage swelling of the legs or abdominal cavity is barely noticeable, but over time the size and location of the pastiness increases. Characteristic sign heart pathologies - snoring and respiratory arrest during sleep.

Heart pain and nausea in children

Young patients are no less bothered by unpleasant symptoms than adults. In children aged 5-7 years, the heart muscle works in an enhanced mode, which is associated with the active growth and development of blood vessels: the child feels discomfort in the chest. By virtue of physiological reasons The pulse of fidgety and hyperactive babies can go off scale: the heart rate returns to normal when the child rests and calms down.

The risk factors that provoke chest pain and nausea in children and adults are the same: neuroses, disorders of the digestive system, diseases of the musculoskeletal system, ailments of a vegetative nature, infectious pathologies. When a child has VSD, colic in the heart and discomfort in the epigastric region can begin in the absence of physical activity. Neurotic conditions accompanied by unpleasant sensations in the chest, feelings of anxiety and restlessness.

When a baby is diagnosed with infectious diseases (streptococci, staphylococci), the heart may become ill 1-2 weeks after the virus enters the body. Discomfort can be felt in the left side/center of the chest and transforms into neighboring areas of the body (shoulder, neck, jaw): the pain is short-term, but stabbing in nature. The pediatrician is obliged to carefully examine the child’s body (ECG, ultrasound of the heart, digestive organs, blood test), determine the existing symptoms and prescribe the optimal treatment.

Treatments for Heart Pain and Nausea

Elimination of discomfort in the chest and epigastrium is based on complex therapy, which includes: prescribing a certain set of medications, a special regimen/diet, the use of herbal medicine recipes, strict adherence to a daily routine and rest, limiting/increasing physical activity. Taken together, these rehabilitation methods provide the maximum recovery effect.

Medications

In the treatment of pathologies manifested by chest pain and nausea, it is recommended to use:

beta blockers(restore contractility myocardium – “Carvitol”, “Betalol”, “Serdol”);
glycosites(eliminate pain syndrome - “Izolanid”, “Celanid”, “Digoxin”);
peripheral vasodilators(promote vasodilation - “Pentral”, “Kardiket”, “Sustak”);
blockers calcium channels (improves metabolism and activates bioenergetic processes in cells - “Verapamil”, “Diacordin”).

Important! For sudden pain in the heart, Nitroglycerin is used: the medicine is quickly absorbed into the blood, dilates blood vessels and eliminates colic in the chest.

For VSD, the following are prescribed: nootropic drugs (Paracetam, Glycine), cebroangiocorrectors (Stugeron, Cavinton), sedatives (Valocordin, Corvalol).

Coronary heart disease is treated with: beta-adrenoblockers (Vasocardin, Niperten), antiplatelet agents (Acecardol, Thrombol), anticoagulants (Heparin, Coumarin), cholesterol-lowering drugs (Lovastin, Fenofibrate) ), diuretics (“Indapamide”, “Furasimide”).

Symptoms of angina pectoris are eliminated: with beta blockers (Oxprenolol, Carvedelol), lipid-lowering drugs (Cholestyramine, Simvastatin), calcium antagonists (Bepredil, Diltiazem).

In case of a heart attack, the following are prescribed: thrombolytics (Warfarin, Thromboass), anticoagulants, beta blockers, nitrates (Sustonit, Nitroderm), angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (Ramipril, Ceronapril).

ethnoscience

Helps get rid of heart problems and nausea phytotherapeutic agents and recipes unconventional methods treatment. Witch doctors and traditional healers recommended to use:

decoction of motherwort and hawthorn(15 g of raw material is brewed in a thermos (0.75 l), the drink is infused for 2 hours and filtered; take: 30 g half an hour before meals);
decoction of healing collection (field horsetail (20 g), knotweed (30 g), hawthorn flowers (50 g) are poured with boiling water (0.5 l); the mixture is left for 3-4 hours and filtered; take 2 tbsp. 5-6 once a day);
horseradish and honey mixture(ingredients in the amount of 10 g are mixed and infused for 1 hour; the medicine is taken once a day, 30 ml and washed down with water);
garlic tincture(300 g of crushed raw material with a mushy consistency, pour 0.2 liters of alcohol, cover the drink with a lid and stir in dark place for 10 days; take 5-10 ml after meals).

Important! Using each herbal medicine recipe in medicinal purposes involves a preliminary consultation with a doctor: certain types herbs and plants can be a source of allergies.

Prevention

You can reduce the likelihood of pathologies, the signs of which are pain in the heart and discomfort in the epigastric region, if:

adhere to the principles of a healthy diet (the diet is dominated by vegetables, fruits and dishes rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids(red fish, seafood), fried, spicy, smoked and salty foods are excluded);
dose physical activity;
give up bad habits (alcohol, tobacco);
control weight;
control blood cholesterol levels and blood pressure levels;
avoid stressful situations;
maintain an optimal balance of time spent on work and rest (sleep at least 8 hours a day).

For the purpose of prevention, you should be examined at least 2 times a year by specialized specialists (cardiologist, gastroenterologist) to check for the absence of pathologies related to the cardiovascular and digestive systems of the body.

It is prohibited to ignore the symptoms of nausea and chest discomfort - it is necessary to determine the list of accompanying signs of pathology as accurately as possible and report them to the doctor. The patient is obliged not only to strictly adhere to all the specialist’s recommendations, but also to change his usual lifestyle, which is the key to restoring health.

What are nausea and vomiting

Rapid heartbeat and headaches are normal for growing children. It’s just that during the maturation of a teenager, the heart and blood vessels develop unevenly, which leads to ailments. Typically, such symptoms appear in very active and emotional children, and in calm and well-sleeping children, this deviation is less common. Once the child has stopped and calmed down, the pain usually goes away.

If heart pain is observed during a period of influenza or ARVI, then parents should urgently consult a doctor, as this can lead to complications.

1 Physiological reasons

If the heart aches due to its pathology, then it is important to determine the specific group to which it belongs:

Inflammatory diseases of the heart: endocarditis, myocarditis, pericarditis. All of them are united by inflammation of the myocardial walls. The nature of the pain is dull or stabbing, gradually increasing. Shortness of breath, weakness, intoxication, and palpitations begin.
Myocardial dystrophy, which occurs as a result of a metabolic disorder in the tissues of the heart muscle, reducing its contractility. There are many different reasons for this. The disease progresses, dull It's a dull pain in the heart area develops into intense, chronic heart failure sharply manifests itself.
All kinds of defects do not provoke painful syndromes, but concomitant disorders are the reason that the heart aches.
IHD – cardiac ischemia develops when there is a mismatch between the need for oxygen and the amount supplied by the bloodstream. This occurs due to narrowing of the lumen of the coronary vessels as a result of atherosclerosis.

2. Myocardial infarction is a situation when the lack of oxygen becomes critical and tissue necrosis occurs in a specific area.

Its associated symptoms:

nausea;
hypotension;
sweating;
pallor;
dyspnea;
heart rhythm disturbances;
fear of death.

As mentioned above, not only pathologies of this organ can cause heart pain. The close interaction and location of the heart next to the lungs, mediastinal and digestive systems can often mask their diseases as pain in the heart area. Ogran suffers due to muscle fatigue and the inability of worn-out myocardial vessels to pass the required volume of blood.

Diseases of the lungs or bronchi can manifest as painful sensations that can be mistaken for pain in the heart. It must be taken into account that pulmonary problems are accompanied by additional symptoms: cough, shortness of breath, fatigue, excessive sweating, especially at night.

Irritation of the vagal (vagus) nerve occurs due to the development of a focus of inflammation in the liver and pancreas. This phenomenon leads to dull or acute pain in the heart area and chest area.

This sensation can radiate under the shoulder blade, into the back, which increases the resemblance to a heart attack or angina pectoris. Nausea and sometimes vomiting accompany the onset of a painful attack or the immediate attack of pain.

Insufficient blood supply to the muscles of the heart and lungs when vegetative-vascular dystonia provokes rapid fatigue of muscle fibers. A small volume of air entering the respiratory tract leads to oxygen starvation brain structures Therefore, when diagnosed with dystonia, pain in the heart area is accompanied by dizziness, nausea, and sometimes convulsions of central origin occur.

One way or another, pain localized in the chest and nausea are symptoms of serious diseases; they should not be ignored, because along with them shortness of breath, a feeling of weakness, fear, and anxiety may appear.

Pain, discomfort, including nausea in the upper abdomen, especially on the left, are sure signs of a disruption in the normal functioning of organs. They are often accompanied mental states fear, depression. The pain can be so severe that it does not allow you to make normal movements or be active.

This is how diseases that indicate pathology of the gastrointestinal tract or heart function manifest themselves. In some cases they are combined.

It should be remembered that pain and discomfort in the heart area primarily signals that a vital organ is in danger. Often the appearance of symptoms such as nausea and heart pain requires immediate medical attention. Along with the above symptoms, patients often experience shortness of breath, severe weakness, anxiety, and fear.

Why do heart diseases occur? The names and the list of such problems are getting longer every day. The causes of heart disease are varied. Primarily influenced by the hereditary factor, as well as various disorders of a woman’s pregnancy, which contribute to the formation of pathologies in the development of the fetal heart muscle.

Acquired heart problems appear due to poor nutrition. Doctors are discussing which foods lead to disturbances in the functioning of the cardiovascular system.

Some believe that excessive use fatty foods And simple carbohydrates adversely affects health. While other luminaries of science claim that it is precisely the absence of animal fats that oversaturate the body polyunsaturated acids leads to problems of the heart muscle.

One way or another, we can conclude that to prevent cardiovascular diseases, one should adhere to the golden mean in nutrition and saturate the body with various beneficial substances.

Non-cardiogenic

Stinging feelings.
Nitroglycerin is not effective.
They are permanent.

Pain as a result of cardiac pathologies manifests itself as follows:

It feels heavy.
Periodic burning sensation in the heart area.
The sensations are of a compressive nature.
Appear spontaneously.
Feelings of discomfort subside by taking nitroglycerin.

If you experience any discomfort, especially in the area of the main organ, you should consult a doctor. Only an experienced specialist will be able to make the correct diagnosis and prescribe the correct therapy.

Types of symptoms

Aching pain in the heart area is the most common symptom of disease. Mistaking it for a heart condition, patients are often surprised that in fact it is not one.

The chest has large plexuses, nerve fibers, inflammation of which leads to constant tension in its area. Therefore, chest pain is conventionally grouped into cardiac and extracardiac.

In scientific terminology – cardiogenic, associated with heart pathologies, and non-cardiogenic, associated with other ailments of the body.

1 General symptoms

The heart is the motor of the entire body. Global environmental catastrophe, modern pace of life, unbalanced diet And increased level Daily stress leads to disruption of the functioning of this vital organ.

In most cases, heart disease leads to a deterioration in the standard of living, dependence on medications or devices. And in some cases - to disability, in difficult situations - to the death of the patient.

In this article we'll talk about what heart diseases are known: list and symptoms, modern methods treatment of official and traditional medicine.

Fatigue and fatigue. Unfortunately, this symptom occurs in almost every second person living in a metropolis. It is unlikely that anyone will pay attention to such a slight ailment. But if for you such a condition was not previously the norm, but appeared completely unexpectedly and lasted for a long time, this serious reason for concerns about heart health.

Frequent pulse and heartbeat. This condition is normally observed during physical activity, anxiety, fear or excitement. But if arrhythmia occurs daily or even several times a day for no apparent reason, get examined by a specialist.

Dyspnea – difficulty breathing, feeling of lack of air. This symptom occurs in 90% of people suffering from one or another heart disease.

Dizziness, nausea, loss of consciousness, sweating, swelling. Such signs appear regularly in some patients, while in others they are completely absent.

Chest pain is often a warning of an impending heart attack. The symptom has various manifestations: the pain can be sharp, short-term or long-term “squeezing”, there are feelings of heaviness and stiffness in the chest. Unpleasant sensations may spread to the shoulder girdle, left arm or leg.

It is worth noting the fact that people often do not pay attention to most of the body’s signals. In addition, there is not always a pronounced pain syndrome of a particular heart disease. The list and symptoms are individual in each case. Neglect of one’s own health worsens medical statistics: about 40% of all deaths are the result of heart disease.

The combination of symptoms described is similar to signs of poisoning. These include:

nausea;
vomiting, which may contain blood clots;
sharp pain, especially in the upper abdomen;
headache;
feeling of squeezing in the chest.

That is why the patient tries to remember all his recent meals in order to confirm the diagnosis. However, these signals may indicate another, more serious disease.

Diagnosis of the disease

Self-diagnosis is expressed in establishing a connection between pain syndromes and the pathology of the organ that provokes them. Many people are familiar with the effect of distrust of a diagnosis.

The patient tries to consult another medical institution, asks questions on medical forums. IN Lately There is a set of programs on the Internet that make life easier for the patient.

The initial pathology data is entered into the method, and it produces the result. Cheap and cheerful.

There are no statistics on such self-diagnosis. If in a conversation with the doctor the patient cannot clearly tell what is aching in the heart area, then the iron friend needs your experiences only as indicators of the initial input.

In pre-medical treatment, you need to take medications and observe their effect. This is especially true when the heart aches.

A litmus test may be taking Nitroglycerin or other heart medications. If pain attack stops, then there is a high probability that the aching in the heart area is precisely because of its pathology.

When considering the causes of discomfort in the abdominal area, the doctor must assess the general condition of the patient.

Peculiarities differential diagnosis in the gastralgic form of heart attack and coronary insufficiency, it involves excluding diseases associated with the abdominal organs.

gag reflexes, belching;

probable shock or collapse.

For certain gastrointestinal diseases (cholecystitis, stomach ulcers, duodenum) the pain is similar, but the heart rate is the same. Blood pressure remains within normal limits, but can sometimes be elevated.

There are often cases of concomitant diseases, when diagnosis is difficult.

At the first sensation of pain that periodically appears in the chest, you should definitely see a specialist; it is easier to treat the disease when it is detected on early stage and not neglected to a critical state.

Measures to establish the correct diagnosis:

presence of pain in the chest area and below;
hyperesthesia of the skin in the area of the atria, clavicle and shoulder on the left;
nausea that is not caused by eating;
gag reflexes, belching;
probable shock or collapse.

Medication assistance

Having made a diagnosis, doctors prescribe treatment that is aimed at eliminating symptoms. It should be comprehensive, combining therapeutic approaches with cardio areas.

To eliminate the problem, you need to identify the root cause and fight it. There are also medical supplies to reduce the heart rate, for example, Disopyramide, Timolol, Verapamil, Magnesium Sulfate and others. They differ in their method of action and have a number of adverse reactions and contraindications. Self-prescription of drugs against arrhythmia is unsafe for health.

Decoctions and infusions of herbs are widely used to normalize the heart rate. You can learn more about them in the corresponding chapter.

Dizziness, headache, nausea, heart pain indicate a serious illness. This is why the patient needs to consult a doctor. The specialist will not only make the correct diagnosis, he will prescribe necessary treatment for a speedy recovery of health.

If belching air and stomach discomfort are associated with poor nutrition, then you will have to reconsider your habits. It is prohibited to smoke, sleep, or actively engage in sports after eating.

It is best not to drink food right away, but then at least after 20-30 minutes. It is forbidden to talk while eating.

Food should be chewed thoroughly and not swallowed in large chunks. Eat less ice cream, onions, drink carbonated drinks, because... they only irritate the mucous membranes.

No need to constantly use chewing gum. By the way, oxygen and milkshakes and other drinks with air can also be harmful.

5. Preventive measures

Patients who are at risk should be aware of the degree of independent responsibility for life and their health.

Strengthening muscles and blood vessels is the main task. Helps with this therapeutic nutrition and regular exercise. Complexes are selected individually, which depends on the degree of vascular damage, muscle function and strength, general condition, the patient’s mood for recovery.

It is important to use the possibilities of herbal medicine, which will help solve problems, strengthen the immune system, and fill the body with glycoside vitamins.

If you pay close attention to yourself, the prognosis can be favorable. Timely examination and observation by therapists gives a chance to achieve full health. Neglecting the rules of behavior, which will provoke the risk of cardiovascular disease, can lead to irreparable consequences.

To summarize, pain and nausea are signs of many diseases.

Distinguish dangerous condition for diseases of the heart and blood vessels the following may occur:

know and regularly measure blood sugar and cholesterol levels;
if you have a lot of body weight, achieve weight loss;
take antihypertensive medications on time as prescribed by your therapist or cardiologist;
avoid unnecessary emotional overload and physical stress;
regulate sleep, which should last at least 8 hours;
Take daily walks in the fresh air, which provides an influx of oxygen and has a positive effect on well-being.

you should protect yourself from strong physical exertion, and if there was any, you need to rest after it, preferably in a horizontal position;

more walking in the fresh air;

control over your diet and food quality;

comply with sanitary and hygienic living standards, including regularly ventilating the living space;

you can’t refuse breakfast, but it should be light - cheese, eggs, dairy products, fruits;

food must comply with permissible temperature levels, since a dish that is too hot or cold has a destructive effect on the entire digestive system;

drinking minerals will be beneficial for the stomach alkaline water and tea with a slice of lemon.

If all these measures are followed, there will be no stomach problems. In addition, bad habits have a detrimental effect on health. Tobacco and alcohol do not have positive impact not on any organ, including the stomach. Therefore, if you are sincerely concerned about your health, then these habits should be abandoned forever.

Don't joke with your body. For any alarming symptoms that do not go away for a long time and, moreover, intensify, you should seek qualified help. Otherwise, the progress of the disease can lead to extremely sad consequences.

The pain that occurs in the heart area makes everyone who experiences it worry. This is an alarming symptom of very life-threatening diseases. Sometimes heart pain and nausea occur at the same time. What might the appearance of such symptoms indicate? Should you always seek medical help? Is it possible to deal with the problem on my own?

Causes of pain in the heart area

It is necessary to clearly understand that pain in the heart and nausea are, first of all, alarming signals that make it clear to a person that vital organs are in serious danger, and the current situation requires the use of immediate measures. One way or another, pain localized in the chest and nausea are symptoms of serious diseases; they should not be ignored, because along with them shortness of breath, a feeling of weakness, fear, and anxiety may appear.

Nausea and chest pain can appear simultaneously if several pathologies occur at once: cardiovascular and gastrointestinal tract. However, most often pain and nausea have the following causes:

vegetative-vascular dystonia;
heart failure;
heart attack (myocardial infarction);
pneumonia, bronchitis;
hypertensive crisis;
diseases of the liver, pancreas.

Vegetative-vascular dystonia is a common diagnosis in Russia, but in Sweden and Europe there is no such diagnosis. Similar conditions that manifest themselves with a large number of symptoms associated with dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system and neuroregulation of the body in Swedish medicine are designated as somatoform disorders or dysfunctions (Somatoforma störningar, in the international classification of diseases has the number F45).

Can you trust doctors?

YesNo

Among the common symptoms of vegetative-vascular dystonia, people often find pain in the heart area, nausea, vomiting, insomnia, tachycardia, and unstable blood pressure. The symptoms that arise speak more about a mental than a physical illness, and almost never lead to serious consequences, although they require a thorough examination and, possibly, adequate therapy.

Nausea and chest pain may be signs of heart failure. Anatomical changes in the heart muscle, decreased physiological functions organs contribute to the appearance of edema in the chest and abdominal cavity, and the pressure inside the heart increases. All this leads to pain in the chest, as well as nausea.

A heart attack (myocardial infarction) is sometimes preceded several days by the appearance of pain in the heart and painful nausea. Similar symptoms are also characteristic of the acute process of development of infarction pathology. Vomiting, nausea, weakness, low blood pressure replace hypertension, tachycardia, while shortness of breath, a feeling of fear and burning pain in the chest increase, and cases of fainting are not uncommon. Often nausea is practically the only symptom of myocardial infarction, and the disease develops painlessly.

Sharp chest pains and a feeling of nausea often accompany bronchitis and pneumonia. Pain in such cases occurs after a prolonged unproductive cough due to overstrain of the intercostal muscles. Nausea is a consequence of general intoxication due to the activity of microorganisms and taking medications. A sign that heart pain and nausea are symptoms of inflammatory diseases of the upper respiratory tract is the presence elevated temperature body, chills, increased sweating.

A sharp jump in blood pressure characterizes a hypertensive crisis. At the same time, patients experience pressing pain in the heart area, nausea, vomiting that does not bring relief, dizziness.

With diseases of the liver, gallbladder and pancreas, pain can be localized in the chest area, and frequent nausea without vomiting also occurs. Often pain is felt in the hypochondrium area, and bitterness may appear in the mouth.

What to do

Chest pain, vomiting, nausea, weakness should not be ignored, they cannot be ignored. Timely diagnosis and consultation with a competent specialist can differentiate the cause of symptoms and direct all therapeutic measures to eliminate the disease. Therefore, it is necessary to find out from your doctor what you can take for nausea. In each specific case, the answer to this question will be different.

There is no need to hesitate to apply for emergency care if there are threatening symptoms:

heart pain does not stop for more than 20 minutes;
pain does not go away after taking nitroglycerin;
an attack of nausea and heart pain is accompanied by high blood pressure, cold sweat, shortness of breath, and fear.

How to Deal with Chest Pain and Nausea

A prerequisite for the successful elimination of chest pain and nausea is an accurate diagnosis of the patient’s condition. After all, in order to relieve nausea in case of dysfunction of the heart and blood vessels, it is necessary to take medications that lower blood pressure, correct heart function, improve the condition of blood vessels and the rheological properties of the blood.

Therapy for vegetative-vascular dystonia is complex and includes sedatives, drugs that optimize the functioning of the nervous system, as well as individual organs and systems. In addition, they also resort to non-drug treatment methods: massotherapy, physiotherapeutic procedures, reflexology.

Myocardial infarction requires urgent and competent measures in a hospital setting. Therapy, its duration, and volume directly depend on the area of damage to the heart muscle. The success of treatment is much greater if it is started for the first time 12 hours

Pneumonia and bronchitis, in addition to antimicrobial and antiviral therapy, always includes detoxification agents, vitamins, and mucolytic drugs. Despite highly effective antibiotics wide range actions, the most acceptable is the prescription of drugs based on microbiological research data.

For diseases of the liver and pancreas, the use of drugs that restore the function of these organs, as well as antiemetic drugs (Cerucal, Zoloft), helps quite well against nausea. Additional Methods examinations will not be superfluous, they will help you choose individually necessary funds therapy.

The causes of heart pain and nausea are varied. By listening to the “voice” of one’s own body, a person is able to timely catch signals of dysfunction of organs and systems, and by contacting a doctor, find the right decision the problem that has arisen.

Diseases of the heart and gastrointestinal tract cause pain syndromes in the area of the main organ, vomiting and dizziness. Only an experienced specialist can determine the correct diagnosis, since these signs are inherent in numerous diseases of varying degrees of severity and health hazard.

The doctor will help prevent serious complications by prescribing the correct treatment. Let's look at the most common diseases that cause discomfort and nausea and impair the patient's health.

Heart failure

The disease is a complication of various types of pathologies. In heart failure, the main organ gradually loses its pumping function.

Deficiency is caused coronary disease, arterial hypertension and cardiomyopathies. Rarely, pathology develops as a result of anemia, hyperthyroidism and a febrile state.

Signs depend on which area of the organ is not functioning properly. Can appear:

Cardiopalmus.
Cough.
Paleness of the skin.
Head migraine.
The liver enlarges.
Pain syndrome in the chest area.
Nausea and vomiting.

Nausea and vomiting occur as a result of pulmonary intoxication along with heart failure.

Diagnostics

Electrocardiography can help identify a lack of blood supply to the heart. Doctors also widely use ultrasonography. In the pulmonary circulation, stagnation is detected using x-ray examination.

Tachycardia as a cause of nausea, heart pain

Tachycardia is not a disease, but a manifestation of many organ pathologies. As a result, rapid contraction of the “motor” muscles occurs. Tachycardia causes contractions of more than 100 beats per unit of time.

The condition is caused by stress, lack of air, increased physical activity, and also when taking certain medications. Reasons also include:

Acute and chronic heart failure.
Angina pectoris.
Myocardial infarction.
Presence of heart defects.
Myocarditis of various origins.
Cardiomyopathies.
Pericarditis.
Embolism.
Cardiosclerosis.
Endocarditis of bacterial origin.

Factors unrelated to heart disease are also causes. These include the disease:

Pheochromocytoma.
Malfunctions of the autonomic nervous system.
Endocrine disorders.
Diabetic ketoacidosis.

Manifestations

With tachycardia, the symptoms directly depend on the disease along with which it developed. So a person notices:

Pain in the organ area.
Insomnia.
Taste disturbance.
Lack of air.
There is a weak pulse.
Nausea and vomiting.
Paleness of the skin.
Headache.
Deterioration of vision.
Dyspnea.

A heart attack can occur due to circulatory problems. If the blood supply is disrupted, then within 15 minutes necrosis occurs in the area in which the lack of nutrition occurred.

The cause of a heart attack is thrombosis of the arteries of the organ. An attack may occur as a result of rupture of an atherosclerotic plaque. Other causes of heart attack:

Smoking disrupts the functioning of blood vessels.
Obesity.
Low mobility.
Genetic predisposition to diseases.
Chronic high blood pressure.
Diabetes.
Poor nutrition.
Excess cholesterol in the blood.
Regular stress.

During a heart attack, the first thing that hurts is the heart. Uncomfortable feelings are sharp and squeezing. Also pre-infarction state may cause a burning sensation and may radiate to other parts of the body.

Signs of a heart attack can also occur at rest. Patients who have had a heart attack observe that the feeling of discomfort does not go away after taking nitroglycerin.

A patient with a heart attack:

Be sick;
Abdominal discomfort appears;
Heart rhythm is disturbed;
Sweating appears;
Rapid pulse;
Worried about migraine headaches;
My head is spinning;
Trembling appears in the body;
Feeling of faintness.

Gastrointestinal diseases causing nausea and heart discomfort

Pain associated with disorders of the digestive system is similar to the manifestations of various pathologies. This may result in an unpleasant feeling in the heart area and nausea. Other manifestations of gastrointestinal diseases:

General weakness.
Pain syndrome in the abdomen.
Diarrhea or constipation.

The only peculiarity is the longest duration of the pain syndrome, and nausea ends with vomiting. So symptoms occur along with:

stomach ulcer;
diaphragmatic hernia;
esophageal rupture;
acute pancreatitis.

Esophageal rupture is very dangerous pathology and requires immediate medical attention, as it can be fatal.

Nausea and chest pain with bronchitis

Bronchitis is an acute inflammatory disease of the respiratory tract. The patient's life changes dramatically with the development of pathology. Clinical symptoms include cough with vomiting, fever, difficulty breathing and pain in the chest associated with constant stress on the muscular system.

Causes of vomiting during bronchitis

The disease develops as a result of infection with viruses or bacteria. Bronchitis is also caused by certain types of fungal organisms and allergens.

Choking and severe coughing may lead to vomiting. An adult rarely experiences an unpleasant symptom due to the stability of the immune system. What causes the symptom:

individual intolerance to drugs;
misdiagnosis;
allergic reaction to therapy.

An alarming sign appears in the chronic form of bronchitis. In this case, cough occurs more often in the morning and in dusty rooms.

Other manifestations of bronchitis

Along with nausea and pain in the heart, previously manifested symptoms are observed:

Severe dry cough.
Chills appear.
Weakness and headache.

It is very important to cure bronchitis, since, going into chronic form, it lowers immunity and disrupts bronchial patency.

Heart pain and nausea in children

Anxiety symptoms in children arise due to the same factors. A child is diagnosed with a certain number of diagnoses more often than an adult.

The hearts of babies carry out a super-intensive blood supply. This occurs due to uneven growth of blood vessels and the organ itself. As a result, the heart area experiences pain.
Chest pain can occur in active children. The nature of the pain that comes as a result of physical activity. Vegetative system the child is not fully formed and cannot cope with the load. Therefore, a child who often experiences symptoms should not do intense exercise.

The heart beats strongly and hurts only during physical activity. At rest it calms down.

The cause of pain may be vegetative dystonia. She is accompanied stabbing pain in the chest. Parents should also pay attention to pain in the heart area that occurs after a cold. Unpleasant sensations may indicate the development of rheumatism or myocarditis.

Differences between heart pain and others

Burning and painful sensations of a squeezing nature always raise the idea of a heart problem. Experts note some differences between non-cardiogenic pain and cardiac pain.

Non-cardiogenic

An unpleasant symptom is not associated with organ pathologies and is characterized by:

Stinging feelings.
Pain radiating to the left arm when coughing.
Unpleasant sensations cause sudden movement.
Nitroglycerin is not effective.

Pain in the heart area can be a symptom of serious illness. In order to take timely measures, you need to know these pathologies.

It is necessary to clearly understand that pain in the heart and nausea are, first of all, alarming signals that make it clear to a person that vital organs are in serious danger, and the current situation requires the use of immediate measures. One way or another, nausea is a symptom of a serious disease and should not be ignored, because along with it shortness of breath, a feeling of weakness, fear, and anxiety may appear.

How to Deal with Chest Pain and Nausea

Therapy for vegetative-vascular dystonia is complex and includes sedatives, drugs that optimize the functioning of the nervous system, as well as individual organs and systems. In addition, they also resort to non-drug treatment methods: therapeutic massage, physiotherapeutic procedures, reflexology.

Pneumonia and bronchitis, in addition to antimicrobial and antiviral therapy, always includes detoxification agents, vitamins, and mucolytic drugs. Despite highly effective broad-spectrum antibiotics, the most acceptable is the prescription of drugs based on microbiological research data.

For liver diseases and nausea, the use of drugs that restore the function of these organs, as well as antiemetic drugs (Cerucal, Zoloft), helps quite well against nausea. Additional examination methods will not be superfluous; they will help you individually select the necessary therapy.

The causes of heart pain and nausea are varied. By listening to the “voice” of one’s own body, a person is able to timely catch signals of dysfunction of organs and systems, and by consulting a doctor, find the right solution to the problem that has arisen.

Nausea is a very unpleasant symptom, especially if it occurs regularly. When a person has chest pain and feels nauseous, most likely he is seriously ill.

If the illness has been bothering you for several days, or even more so, weeks, you should not put off going to the doctor.

Some of the first signs of pregnancy are nausea and chest pain. Such symptoms occur in the first 2-7 weeks of pregnancy.

Some women do not face the problem of feeling lightheaded at all, but, unfortunately, most expectant mothers are not so lucky.

Why do breasts hurt during pregnancy? It's all about the growth of the mammary glands. A woman’s body is actively preparing for motherhood.

The growth of the mammary glands is accompanied by discomfort in the chest area. If a pregnant girl has chest pain, there is no reason to panic. This is a normal physiological transformation.

These two symptoms that appear in a girl with high probability indicate she is pregnant.

However, if the symptoms occurred during menstruation or menopause, the woman could not become pregnant, therefore, the reason for its occurrence is different.

Let's talk in more detail about the nausea that occurs in the first trimester of pregnancy. This disease is almost always accompanied by vomiting. In most cases, the girl encounters him in the morning.

After abruptly getting out of bed, she may feel dizzy and feel faint. What else is accompanied by this disease?

When the expectant mother feels sick, her appetite decreases, her olfactory and taste sensations. These changes occur as a result of disruption of the normal functioning of the central nervous system.

However, if a girl has breast pain during pregnancy and often feels lightheaded, her digestive function may be impaired.

With such symptoms, the expectant mother experiences increased salivation. This phenomenon is fraught with sudden weight loss.

A pregnant woman who experiences the urge to vomit as a result of poor nutrition should understand that it cannot be suppressed.

The fact is that, along with the vomit, a pathogenic toxin is released from her body, which, after entering the stomach, provoked the disease.

Therefore, it is important not only not to stop vomiting, but, on the contrary, to provoke it. However, if nausea is not a consequence of overeating or food poisoning, then there is no need to provoke vomiting.

What else is associated with this symptom?

When a person has chest pain and, at the same time, the urge to vomit, this does not always indicate the presence of any disease. Perhaps the occurrence of this disease was the result of banal indigestion.

If a person has chest pain, this does not mean that he may have heart failure or a stroke.

Often, discomfort in the chest area indicates ailments associated with impaired functioning of the gastrointestinal tract.

If these symptoms manifest themselves systematically, this is a reason to undergo a medical examination.

Before you start effective treatment a disease accompanied by discomfort in the chest and an unpleasant sensation in the upper abdomen, the exact cause of these symptoms should be determined.

The nature of the body is such that any pain that occurs in one or another part of the body signals various diseases. Therefore, it is important not to ignore discomfort, especially if it occurs regularly.

The main causes of this symptomatology

Gastrointestinal diseases. A patient with a rupture of the esophagus, intestinal colic, gastric ulcer, acute pancreatitis and other diseases of the gastrointestinal tract often has chest pain. Any of these ailments is accompanied by a feeling of faintness after each meal.
Diseases respiratory system. We are talking about diseases such as tuberculosis, bronchitis, inflammation of the pleura, etc. With these ailments, the patient’s chest hurts very much. The discomfort is aching in nature. Also, in addition to pain and a feeling of lightheadedness, the patient has difficulty breathing. The sputum produced may contain blood. With tuberculosis, the patient's body temperature rises.
Heart diseases. Such symptoms occur in the case of pancreatitis. The patient experiences frequent pain syndrome. With an aortic aneurysm, the pain is localized in the upper chest.
Psychogenic illnesses. Discomfort in the stomach and sore chest occur with cardioneurosis. The pain is aching in nature. It is localized in the heart area. With cardioneurosis, the patient experiences nausea, the face turns red, blood pressure rises, and anxiety increases.

A patient suffering from this disease may complain of increased fatigue, weakness and body aches.

Now let’s talk in more detail about each of the groups of diseases listed above that cause discomfort in the stomach and chest.

Gastrointestinal diseases

If a person suffering from any pathology related to the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract experiences a feeling of lightheadedness, then, almost always, it is accompanied by strong and frequent vomiting.

What gastrointestinal diseases provoke discomfort in the chest and stomach?

Stomach ulcer. A person suffering from this disease feels sick after every meal, regardless of what exactly he ate. With this disease, the patient suffers from severe pain. To relieve pain, he is prescribed antispasmodics.
Diaphragmatic hernia. This disease causes internal organs to pass through a diaphragmatic rupture. When this happens, the patient suffers from severe chest pain. If the patient gets back on his feet, he will feel the desired relief. If you experience pain caused by a diaphragmatic hernia, it is not recommended to lie down.
Esophageal rupture. This is a very dangerous pathology, which is characterized by a violation of the integrity of the esophagus, which leads to the entry of its contents into the abdominal cavity. Most often, this occurs during vomiting. When a person vomits, his chest hurts very badly. This anomaly requires immediate surgical intervention. If a person with a ruptured esophagus is not helped in time, he may die.
Acute pancreatitis. Symptoms acute pancreatitis similar to symptoms of heart failure. A patient with this diagnosis is immediately hospitalized. The discomfort that occurs in the chest area is acute and long-lasting.

The patient cannot cope with the pain syndrome on his own; he can only be helped in the hospital.

Heart diseases

When a patient experiences nausea and chest pain, they may have heart disease.

As for nausea accompanied by vomiting, it can occur with a heart attack and with obstruction of the coronary artery.

Aortic aneurysm. This disease is characterized by the expansion of one of the blood vessels. This leads to severe pain, which is very difficult to relieve at home.
Obstruction in coronary artery. An acute pain attack in the chest area, accompanied by a feeling of lightheadedness, is a clear signal of obstruction in the coronary artery.

Since the heart muscle does not receive enough blood, there is a risk of myocardial infarction.

With severe chest discomfort, the patient suffering from this disease has difficulty breathing. The patient's blood pressure rises sharply.

If you do not provide timely assistance to a person with obstruction in the coronary artery, death may occur.

Other symptoms of heart disease:

Feelings of anxiety, increased excitability, fear.
Pale skin.
Vomit.
Trembling in the body.
Cough.
Cold sweat on the body.
Dizziness.
Fainting (not always).

Cholecystitis

Patients who exhibit these symptoms are often diagnosed with cholecystitis. The pain in this disease is localized in the heart area.

Cholecystitis is characterized by the following symptoms:

Prolonged pain in the heart area.
The discomfort is stabbing in nature. The patient cannot tolerate a painful attack.
Discomfort extends to left side breasts
Sharp pain under the right rib.

Also, cholecystitis is accompanied by heartburn, headache and a feeling of bitterness in the mouth.

To relieve a painful attack, patients diagnosed with cholecystitis resort to taking painkillers. Since the pain is spastic in nature, patients are prescribed antispasmodics.

Chest and stomach discomfort are not separate diseases. Such symptoms almost always indicate a serious illness that needs to be treated immediately.

If any pathology develops inside the human body, it will make itself felt. In this case, you should go to the nearest point medical care in order to undergo an examination.

After a patient who exhibits such symptoms passes all the relevant tests, he will be given a diagnosis.

Without a diagnosis, no doctor can prescribe appropriate therapy to a patient.

A woman who experiences these symptoms should first take a pregnancy test.

If it turns out to be positive, then there is no reason to panic, since the manifestation of symptoms such as chest pain and feeling lightheaded is normal during pregnancy.

It is necessary to treat this temporary illness as the primary sign, symbolizing that the woman’s body is preparing for upcoming motherhood.

If, in addition to the periodic feeling of lightheadedness and discomfort in the chest area, a person exhibits symptoms such as fever, discomfort in other parts of the body, vomiting, then most likely we are talking about a disease of one of his internal organs.

Perhaps the internal organ was infected. To understand how to cure a patient, the doctor must diagnose the disease that provoked the deterioration of his health.

If the above symptoms occur, do not delay medical diagnosis.

If a person faced with this disease has a pathology associated with a malfunction of one of the internal organs, then the lack of treatment can aggravate his condition.

Cancer should not be ruled out. With oncology, discomfort in the body manifests itself at the last stage of the disease. In some cases, the patient requires immediate hospitalization.
