Patient question
If a person with coronary heart disease has more heart discomfort during an infection with fever, how should they seek help?
Answer reviewed by Xu ShaoPeng, Chief Physician
Professional answer
Record body temperature, chest discomfort, breathing status, blood pressure, heart rate, and current medications. Contact a healthcare provider as soon as possible and mention the history of coronary heart disease. Do not self-combine multiple fever reducers or cold medications. If persistent chest pain, marked shortness of breath, altered consciousness, or fainting occurs, seek emergency care immediately.
