Heart attack cases are continuously increasing across the country. The most frightening thing is that the people who lost their lives in many incidents of heart attacks were young and completely healthy. To prevent heart attack, it is most important that we know whether there is any major blockage in the arteries of our heart. The coronary arteries are the major blood vessels in your body that supply blood to your heart. If there is something wrong with them or there is a blockage due to any reason, then it usually gives you many warning signs of a heart attack.
These are the warning signs:
You may have heaviness in the chest when the veins of the heart are blocked. Even after doing a little effort, if you start gasping or you feel chest pain, suffocation, restlessness, and being unwell, then these can be symptoms of a heart attack. Fatigue, shortness of breath, and a sudden rapid heartbeat are also signs of a heart attack that your arteries are giving you. Apart from this, chest pain or pressure in patients with heart disease, diabetes, or high blood pressure can be a sign of a heart attack.
What should you do if there are signs of a heart problem?
If a patient feels these symptoms, then they should immediately see a cardiologist, i.e., a heart doctor. Especially if you have a family history of diseases like high blood pressure or diabetes, you should get a complete checkup of your heart.
What should I do in case of a heart attack?
Early signs of a heart attack include severe chest pain, heaviness, tingling in the jaw, back, or left arm, sweating, and restlessness. If this happens, you should immediately call the emergency medical helpline number for help. You can feed a tablet of aspirin to the patient until medical help arrives.
What is the treatment?
Patients who have less than 70 percent blockage are treated with medicines. Patients with more than 75 percent blockage and symptoms are treated either through angioplasty or bypass surgery.
