Heart attack
Nowadays, the heart attack was not limited to the elderly only, but the youth class is also rapidly vulnerable to it. Therefore, it has become extremely important to recognize the early symptoms of a heart attack and take the right steps on time. Interventional Cardiology and Senior Advisor Dr. Prateek Chaudhary at Asian Hospital is telling what are the initial symptoms of a heart attack and what should be done immediately in case of heart attack
3 main initial symptoms of heart attack:
Chest pressure, stiffness or burning sensation: When a heart attack occurs, the most common symptom is discomfort in the chest. It can be felt in the form of pressure, tightness or irritation. This discomfort may persist for a few minutes or may come and go again and again.
Difficulty in breathing and nervousness: Complaint of breathlessness is common in heart related problems. Especially in angina patients, this symptom is seen quickly. Along with difficulty in breathing, the person may feel nervous, restless and strange discomfort.
Spreading chest pain, back, back, waist or jaw: The pain during heart attack is not only limited to the chest, but it can spread to the left hand, back, neck, jaw and even abdomen. Sometimes this pain starts lightly and gradually intensifies. In some patients, heart or jaw pain may also indicate heart attack.
Apart from this, some other symptoms can also be seen such as nausea, vomiting, stomach gas, sudden sweating and confusion arising. Sometimes these symptoms can also be seen without chest pain, especially in women and the elderly.
What to do immediately when a heart attack comes?
If someone feels the symptoms mentioned above, do not panic first. Sit the person in a comfortable position immediately and call an ambulance such as emergency medical aid as soon as possible. If the patient is conscious and is not allergic, he can be given to chew an aspirin as per the advice of the doctor, as it can help prevent blood clots from forming.
Remember, the heart is precious every minute at the time of attack. The sooner the treatment begins, the greater the patient’s chances of survival. So do not ignore the symptoms and get medical help immediately.
