4 symptoms you will experience before a heart attack

You pay attention to the signals your body gives? If you ate something that did harm to your stomach, you'll know, right? If a cold is coming, you also know, will feel a little sore, tired, stuffy nose and so on. But what about when the subject is a little more serious? If one day you come to have a heart attack? How to tell?

Researchers from Duke University, USA, claim that it is common for heart attacks have not recognized their symptoms, especially when we speak of "silent attack" - or myocardial infarction - which has a high risk of death. And when it comes to surviving a heart attack, there is a strong relation with the time it takes to rescue the victim.
serious problem


In the USA alone, it is estimated that 200 000 people suffer heart attacks each year without even realizing it. This silent type of attack corresponds to 25% of all heart attacks, ie: it is really a serious health problem. The good news is that the cardiologist Dr. Chauncey Crandall has prepared some tips to get you, if it were to go through it one day, be able to recognize the signs and get help in time.

Dr. Crandall explains that the human body sends warnings about this kind of attack days, weeks and even months before the episode actually happen. The problem is that these signs are vague, silent and may even be completely painless; many people do not realize that they are related to the heart.
symptoms

According to the cardiologist, we must remain alert to the presence of four specific signs - and they have nothing to do with what you usually see in movies when someone puts his hand on his chest, passes out and falls to the ground; although this type of attack exists, it is less common. Dr. Crandall says the difference between a heart attack and cerebrovascular accident (CVA), popularly known as stroke, is which artery is blocked: that irrigates the brain or that irrigates the heart. Therefore, it is necessary that you pay attention to the following symptoms:

     Chest pain: Of course you've been waiting for this, after all, is the most common symptom for heart attack. It is important, however, you know that there are two major types of chest pain: the first is that you feel in your whole body; the second, which occurs only in the left and central regions, and can go left arm. This pain can occur in different ways: come and go several times, with brief pain; more pain and longer intervals. The discomfort, more or less intense, will exist in any way.
     Shortness of breath: Even if you have chest pain, shortness of breath can be a strong predictor of heart attack. A study in England indicates that, among people who have suffered heart attacks, three in five had shortness of breath - which includes patients who did not have any chest pain. The lack of air can appear before or during a heart attack. In the presence of this symptom, be sure to seek medical attention.
     Indigestion or heartburn: That's right, these two things may indicate that the patient is suffering a heart attack. This is possible because our body does not always feel the pain directly. The nerve cells of the stomach are located near the heart, which causes those two cases - heartburn and stroke - can be reversed.
     Nausea and vomiting: These two characteristics are often classified as atypical when it comes to heart attack, but Dr. Crandall explains that already noticed the occurrence of these symptoms in many patients. It is important to understand that in this case, along with other signals occur almost never alone. Of course you must always be aware before entering into despair. When in doubt, consult your doctor and seek to know how's your heart.
