HEART ATTACK - A SILENT KILLER - NATURAL APPROACH

HEART ATTACK - A SILENT KILLER - NATURAL APPROACH

What Is a Heart Attack?

 A heart attack occurs if the flow of oxygen-rich blood to a section of heart muscle suddenly becomes blocked. If blood flow isn't restored quickly, the section of heart muscle begins to die.
Heart attacks are a leading killer of both men and women in the United States. The good news is that excellent treatments are available for heart attacks. These treatments can save lives and prevent disabilities.
Heart attack treatment works best when it's given right after symptoms occur.

 Heart Attack Symptoms and Signs

Heart With Muscle Damage and a Blocked Artery

Classic symptoms of a heart attack may include:

• chest pain associated with shortness of breath,
  
• profuse sweating, and
  
• nausea.

The chest pain may be described as tightness, fullness, a pressure, or an ache.
Unfortunately, many people do not have these classic signs. Other signs and symptoms of heart attack may include:

• indigestion,
  
• jaw ache,
  
• pain only in the shoulders or arms,
  
• shortness of breath, or
  
• nausea and vomiting.

This list is not complete, since many times people can experience a heart attack with minimal symptoms. In women and the elderly, heart attack symptoms can be atypical and sometimes so vague they are easily missed. The only complaint may be extreme weakness or fatigue.
Pain may also radiate from the chest to the neck, jaw, shoulder, or back and be associated with shortness of breath, nausea, and sweating.

Heart Disease Warning Signs

Because it can be hard to make sense of possible heart symptoms, doctors warn against ignoring any warning signs, toughing them out, waiting to see if they go away, or being quick to blame them on heartburn, muscle soreness, or other less serious, noncardiac causes. That's especially true for men and people over 65, as well as for people with other cardiac risk factors, such as high cholesterol or blood pressure, obesity, smoking, diabetes, or a family history of heart disease.

Heart Attack

A heart attack happens when the heart does not get enough blood supply for a period of time. Part or all of the heart muscle dies.

Signs & Symptoms

A heart attack may have warning signs. (See below). It can occur without signs, too. This is called a "silent" heart attack.

Causes

The most common cause is one or more blood clots that block an artery in the heart. Often, a blood clot forms in an artery already narrowed by plaque.

Having a heart attack in the past increases the risk for another one.

Spasms occur in the large coronary artery. This can be triggered by: Heavy physical exertion, such as shoveling snow; exposure to cold; severe emotional stress; and having a heavy meal. These triggers are more likely to affect persons who are not active.

Common places a heart attack pain is felt.

Cocaine or amphetamine abuse can cause a sudden heart attack. This can happen in persons with no signs of heart disease.
