Hi friends, it’s RJ, writing in “Health & Care Section” of AD’s Blogs. It’s time to stay fit & to be alert to certain minor attacks. The proverb “Health is Wealth” is true and in fact now a days in most of the cases, due to certain faults, several minor attacks gain it’s shape to become a major one.
My very first topic deals with the signs and symptoms, and what you shall do in case of minor heart attacks. People are found facing these acute minor heart attacks almost daily in streets and metro corridors. A healthy person can be an unhealthy one due to these chronic.
WHAT ARE THE COMMON SIGNS OF THESE KINDS OF HEART ATTACKS ?
Chest discomfort that feels like pressure, fullness or a squeezing pain that lasts for more than a minute or goes away and may come back.
There will be pain and continuous discomfort that go beyond your chest and other parts of your body, like one or both arms, or your back, neck, stomach, teeth and jaw.
Unexplained shortness of breath.
Nausea or vomiting.
Anxiety, Indigestion.
Unexplained fatigue.
Women are more likely than men to have additional issues, like neck, shoulder, upper back, or abdominal pain.
Heart attack is also called MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION, sometimes simply referred as MI. A heart attack occurs when a blockage in one or more coronary arteries reduce(s) or stop(s) blood flow to the heart, which starves part of the heart muscle of oxygen.
WHAT WILL YOU DO IF YOU FEEL THE ABOVE SIGNS ?
The first and foremost procedure you need to perform is :
Give call on 911. What you need is a proper medical emergency treatment. Emergency doctor will serve you to get rid of that stroke / minor attack.
Please don’t lie down or else it will be difficult for you to survive.
WHAT YOU COULD DO WHILE WAITING FOR MEDICAL HELP TO ARRIVE ?
Studies have shown that taking an Aspirin - the most commonly taken blood thinning medication in the world, during a heart attack improves survival.
If you have aspirin at home, and you know that you are allergic to it, then you could consider taking it while waiting for the emergency medical services to arrive.
