A heart attack is a medical emergency. A heart attack usually occurs when a blood clot blocks blood flow to the heart. Without blood, tissue loses oxygen and dies.Symptoms include tightness or pain in the chest, neck, back or arms, as well as fatigue, lightheadedness, abnormal heartbeat and anxiety. Women are more likely to have atypical symptoms than men.Treatment ranges from lifestyle changes and cardiac rehabilitation to medications, stents and bypass surgery.
Heart attack is treatable by a doctor the time required to take the patient to the hospital is very crucial as every second counts in saving patients life. Lab tests and imaging are required when treatment is taking place. It resolves within days to weeks and is treatable by a doctor. A coronary artery damage leads to a heart attack. Your muscle needs oxygen to survive. Different terms used for a heart attack include myocardial or cardiac infarction and coronary thrombosis. Smokers under 50 are more likely than non smokers of the same age to have a heart attack Each year over a million people in the USA have a heart attack and about half of them die. Many people have permanent heart damage or die because they do not reach the hospital on time due to different reasons. A heart attack occurs when the flow of blood to the heart is blocked most often by a buildup of fat, Cholesterol and other substances, which form a plaque thus triggering an attack. The term “heart disease” refers to several types of heart conditions. It is also called cardiovascular disease. Many people who suffer a heart attack do not realise they have had one and brush off the symptoms as something as minor as a flu. It is also called the silent disease. They can be fatal, but they can also lead to serious illness and disability. Make sure you get your regular health check up done and keep a tab on blood sugar, diabetes, and cholestoral. Do regular exercise or at least walk a log and do house work and see that you do not gain fat and put on weight which can create problems for the heart. We have only one heart, one body and one life, take good care of them and lead a happy and healthy life.

Even this winter I had many of my the people who I knew passing away due to a heart attack. Leaving the families who are left behind devastated and having no one to turn up to. I felt very bad seeing their condition as nothing can replace what they have lost. Many of the heart attacks took place in the extreme winter and during the change from winter to the summer season period till end of January. Many of them were on medication and in the case of some it was a second heart attack which lead to their passing away. Some passed away when they were asleep. Many of them passed away between late evening till the early morning period. What one could observe was it was life as usual with not much care towards ones health condition as it was quite some time since they had their earlier heart attack. Most probably some became forgetful and complacent. One more trigger would have been the pollution which one has due to smog in the month of December and January especially. A few others were not taking control of their food habits and were eating foods which they were not supposed too. Some others were facing anxiety and worries of one form or another which may have added up and acted as a trigger. Keeping in view the above experience I thought of sharing the same with you dear readers and create awareness. Take good care of yourself and your families especially the elders. |
