Heart problems have become the real scourge of the human race. Every year, mortality from heart attacks is becoming greater and is already reaching the level of a pandemic.
In a heart attack, the artery that feeds the heart ceases to supply enough blood to the served heart muscle. This damages the local area of tissue in this muscle.
If a person does not immediately begin treatment, he may simply die without understanding why. Half of the deaths caused by heart attacks occurred before the patients were taken to hospital. Death causes extensive tissue damage or complications caused by this. With timely action, the forecast improves.
The main symptom that characterizes heart attacks is prolonged, persistent chest pain that does not go away for hours, which is given to the shoulder blade, neck, left side of the jaw and arm. Patients usually describe intense, constricting, or pressing pains. However, some, particularly those with diabetes and older people, may not experience pain.
Sometimes heart attacks cause mild pain, which doctors and patients themselves are mistaken for by the stomach. In people with hardened arteries, an intensified and increased chest pain, which is becoming more prolonged, especially after staying in the wind, cold, as a result of taking plentiful food or physical stress, can serve as a signal of an approaching attack.
Heart cough is called such because of the cause that causes it - heart failure. Symptoms are similar to a bronchitis cough, but there is no sputum production, and in severe cases, bloody discharge may occur. It leads to stagnation and the appearance of blood clots in the lungs. Such a cough appears with heart failure in the left ventricle. Then the right ventricle overflows with blood, and his left neighbor is not able to pump it out to the full. As a result - swelling of the bronchi leading to irritation - a cough occurs. Some doctors use the term - "cardiac bronchitis." Such a cough is dry, sputum does not stand out. It intensifies when a person takes a horizontal position.
When a patient develops a cardiac cough, treatment is difficult, because people consider it bronchitis and treat it in an appropriate way. It is impossible to cure it without eliminating the cause that caused this condition.
Not always heart attacks come abruptly and suddenly, when a person suddenly falls from the pain to the ground, pressing his hand to his chest. You can feel the symptoms for hours, days, or even weeks, until a gradual narrowing of the arteries occurs. An attack occurs when they become completely blocked.
Cardiologists note that if symptoms similar to those described above are noted during sports and they worsen, as well as if you have such symptoms when resting, then you already have a very serious condition that requires an urgent call for emergency medical care.
If you experience any of these symptoms, it doesn’t matter, one or a combination, you should not put off - call and call specialists so that help arrives immediately. Cardiologists note that often it is women who drag out the ambulance call with sensations of symptoms of a heart attack, because they think that cooking dinner or cleaning the house is not without them. However, those who enter the cardiology department with doctors receive much more prompt assistance than those arriving with their car or delivered by their spouse.
It is strongly discouraged to joke with the body, which is the center of the entire system of life.
