Health incidents could always happen may you be enjoying a party with your friends or even just the time you are about to sleep in your room. Although there are different things that could contribute to whatever you are experiencing especially when it comes to your health, it really pays that you know how to handle yourself.
Heart att@ck is just one of the common health risk that could come unexpectedly. What is really tricky about this one is it could happen anytime in a day. Suffering a heart attack with your friends and family around you might be somehow good enough especially knowing that they could immediately take you into the nearest emergency.
But what it you are attacked just the time you are alone? Calling out for help might be hard enough to do. Suffering a heart attack while you got no one but yourself could be frightening.
But would you survive it? Here are the things that you should know now before the heart att@ck could happen to you. It’s wise to know these before something wrong could happen.
- Recognize the symptoms of heart att@ck
Having something on your mind after feeling some familiar things is just being conscious and it’s healthy. By identifying the symptoms of heart attack, you are preparing yourself when it could happen.
- Severe chest pain (like squeezing, or a heaviness, or pressing) at the central or left part of the chest, lasting usually for at least 20 min. The pain may also radiate to the left upper arm, neck or jaw.
- Profuse sweating and a feeling of impending doom.
While so, there are people who don’t experience these symptoms or just most likely show less of these. However, they might experience shortness of breath, mild chest pain, nausea, vomiting and pain in the upper central portion of the abdomen.
- How to deal when heart att@ck occurs
Whether you are alone or in a group, just the time you feel something different immediately call the emergency medical for help. Regardless of what you are doing, stop it and proceed to safe place to rest while calling for help.
While waiting for some help, taking an aspiring have been largely advised. Since most heart att@ck are cause by the blood clot forming in of the blood vessels responsible for supplying blood to the heart, blood thinning medication could improve survival.
Note:
While we can still manage a self-administered treatments, coughing or applying pressure on the chest area during a heart att@ck are not advised. Coughing may help in restoring your normal heart rhythm but it’s a different thing involved especially with the vessels. The key is to relax yourself as much as possible while waiting for the help.
