Signs Of A Heart Attack
When was the last time you visited your doctor for a heart attack? We’re not sure, but we need to know. If your doctor doesn’t think it is obvious, then don’t do anything about it unless you want to live with permanent damage or death.
I’m going to show you some signs that could signal your next hospital trip for a serious heart attack. Some of these things may be true, but at least one time I have had them happen. And they all lead to a major event or sudden death. So if one or more of these rings true, I must explain how to prevent them from happening.
There will always be a first time. It takes time to get used to something like this. The first time I got my husband to stay with me after he broke his arm, I had no idea what was coming. But there were a few weeks before my appointment or any doctor’s visit.
It’s tough when my stomach starts churning up before I even try to eat. Not only that, but my brain also goes into overdrive to process the pain and fear. This is a very common feeling in people with a recent heart attack and can make a person feel sick.
The most annoying part about this is it gets worse as soon as the door is closed. After the first couple of days, I realize that I’ll go home in terrible shape. That night should be the worst sleep you would ever get since you have slept so little I could hardly sit up. And, after about 4-6 hours, I was back up again.
I’ve been told this happens with everyone who has experienced a sudden cardiac arrest after a heart attack. My dad just woke up in the bed next to us on Christmas Eve and told me he felt like this when he awoke. He said he didn’t want to die. They usually don’t get quite as bad an experience as my mother goes through.
So let’s talk about what I’m telling you right now. You have to see a doctor because there is nothing else to do with the symptoms. If you have symptoms or have heard someone else say they have experienced these feelings too, call 911 or go online to reach out to anyone you know. Your doctor will help us all.
The second thing you can do to protect yourself against sudden heart attacks is to exercise regularly. Even though it seems strange, you might be surprised to find out how many adults enjoy walking around their neighborhood or going jogging. Do the same thing and it'll make your life much easier. Exercise is extremely important especially if you’re obese. Weight loss helps increase blood flow to parts of your body that are affected by a recent heart attack.
My mom lost 60 pounds quickly after an episode. She lost more than 20 pounds within 24 hours, which is unheard of. Her sister still suffers from similar symptoms because her asthma makes it hard for her to breathe and she also feels exhausted.
All in all, the best way to treat a heart attack is with a good doctor and lots of rest. Don't neglect your physical needs. Just remember that your loved ones can't take care of you if you don't take care of yourself.
There are plenty of ways to look at the word “Heart”. What actually makes a human being is made up of two words—human and heart. If the meaning of our names doesn’t match the definition, then let me suggest we add something that brings a bit of mystery. Let's look at the history of heart attacks.
Heart Attack History
Heart attacks were thought of as fatal diseases until 1820 when doctors reported their observations of patients’ injuries. In the 1700s, it was found that the majority of people who suffered from chest pains could not move. The problem was that those people had died from lung infections or other medical problems.
By 1870, a doctor named Louisa Jordan was working with John Hopkins University to provide solutions to blood clots and other disorders. His findings suggested that some people could stop developing any health conditions just by exercising regularly. However, he admitted there were some cases where exercise didn't work and even though it was safe, people still got hurt. People who had severe chest pains or strokes could never walk again and eventually had to stay in the house with a wheelchair. Most of the time, they would get discharged when it became clear there was nothing wrong with them.
In 1800, in Germany, the German physician Christian von Stahl discovered that by sitting up and turning his head, he could relieve patients of their excessive breathing and help them feel better. By 1845, doctors began using the term "heart attack" as well as "chest pains."
In 1896, French doctors reported that they could make patients disappear from the world simply by touching their shoulders.
In 1898, Dr. Thomas Ocquemus demonstrated that by squeezing the diaphragm, he could control whether someone would be alive or dead by pressing the chest. Unfortunately, both the doctors and the patient died within a couple of minutes.
In 1906, Dr. J.J. Langdon operated on seven patients who had suffered heart attacks and found that by applying pressure to the area under the heart, he could pump enough blood to keep the heart moving. This discovery led to a lot of breakthroughs in the field of medicine and allowed people to get the treatment they needed. As a result of this new discovery, cardiology took off.
What Can I Do Now?
If you've had a heart attack in the past, you probably think about it every day, even when you're resting. But you might wonder what should you do after it's gone. All it takes is an empty pocket to fill with oxygen and a big, clear liquid air bottle of nitroglycerin. It seems like a long shot for most people to survive a heart attack without oxygen.
I think we can learn from earlier attempts to figure out how to treat these events. For example, I tried giving some sort of drug called xanthine. It does something called vasodilate or relaxes smooth muscles including the arteries. There are some reports of its effect on heart attacks, but there aren’t many studies done to prove its safety and effectiveness. In addition to looking up the results of studies, we can search for information online and even watch YouTube videos. Research can keep us informed of what seems to work and what doesn’t.
It may seem ridiculous to worry about trying to get your heart out of the chest when the chances for success are slim. Still, there are several things you can do to make your heart feel safer. First off, if you can see the warning signs, call 911 or go to the emergency room for immediate help. Second, if you need CPR and have an opportunity, then start! At least it’s something to think of. Last, if you feel like nothing else matters, think of the poor man in the garage watching television and think about how lucky he is to be alive. He’s got a sweet wife and has enough money left over for a funeral. Maybe he can afford it. He knows more about the dangers of getting hurt than you could.
