As we celebrate the x mass holidays 2016 lets be keen on our health.
Heart disease is a main cause of
death in the whole world, about 25% of lethal outcomes happen for
this reason. Nevertheless, 90% of CVD (cardiovascular disease) can be prevented
with a help of a balanced nutrition, exercise and a lack of bad habits.
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a
disease that combines coronary artery atherosclerosis, stenocardia
and myocardial infarct. Amid the accumulation of cholesterol plaques on
the coronary walls of arteries, the heart’s arteries become narrow and the flow
of blood worsens. Eventually, plaques only grow, blocking the flows of blood.
While the majority of medicaments are not capable of dissolving them, the
chances of heart attack become frightening.
A heart attack is especially insidious because
it can happen unpredictably. Moreover, 20% of heart attacks are asymptomatic.
Such “silent” heart attacks do damage person’s health condition. That’s why is
it crucially important that you learn the symptoms that can warn you about
a possible heart attack. Here are the 6 warnings of myocardial infarct.
1. Pressure in the chest
You should not ignore pressure or
pain in the chest. It is a clear sign that you have a heart problem that needs
an immediate care. Frequent pain in the chest is a sign that a heart attack can
happen anytime. If a pain spreads to your arms, back, shoulders and neck — is
it a reason to call an ambulance immediately!
2. Shortness of breath
A heart and lungs work in
tandem, so problems with one organ can influence problems with another.
Narrowing of arteries blocks the normal flow of blood. Amid this fact, your
lungs get not enough blood and you literally start suffocating.
3. Idiopathic fatigue
If you wake up already tired and you
feel the lack of strengths to do your usual daily work, it can be a
signal of coming heart attack. Excessive tiredness indicates that your heart
works harder to pump blood.
4. Symptoms of flu or cold
It may sound strange but the
majority of patients, who survived a heart attack, claim that they felt the
symptoms of flu or cold before facing a heart attack.
5. Cold sweats
Clammy and cold sweat is a
well-known symptom of a heart attack. It means that your heart does not get
enough oxygenated blood. Your brain starts suffering from the lack
of oxygen and blood circulation failure so that your conscious
is confusional and foggy and you break into a cold sweat on your
forehead.
6. Mood swings
A sensation of a baseless fear
that doesn’t leave you is a sign of oxygen deficit. If your mood jumps
from calm and happy to anxious for no reason, it might be that your organism
warns you about an impending heart attack.
Of course, a single symptom doesn’t
mean that you will have a heart attack. But with their help, your organism
makes you warning signals and asks for help. Remember, that all these
symptoms are hints that you should take into account and look for a reason of a
disease instead of taking painkillers to get rid of the pain. Listen to your
body and be healthy.
