Awareness of heart attack signs

First off, the ’90 minutes’ after a heart attack is the door to a ‘balloon time.’ This time is important to save the patient. Also, the time a public physician takes to identify the cardiac arrest is another matter.

1. Chest discomfort: This is a well know symptom that we see in movies. The patient is said to feel an uncomfortable pressure or pain in the center of the chest.
2. Other discomforts in the upper body: This can include pain in one or both arms, the back, stomach or jaws.
3. Breathing problems: This is caused by the chest problems mentioned earlier. It can, however, occur before chest discomfort too.
4. Other symptoms: Breaking out in a cold sweat; nausea or light-headedness 

• Awareness: Studies show that only 10% people opt for an ambulance to get to a hospital after experiencing chest problems (even if they are not heart attacks). Spread the word awareness.
• Regular exercise: I feel like I am an idiot to say this. Regular exercise and healthy diet is the obvious choice for a healthy life. Losing weight can also do some good too.
• Avoid bad lifestyle: Lack of exercise, obesity, over-stress, high blood pressure, smoking, diabetes; avoid bad lifestyle if you want to avoid heart diseases.

That’s it. I know it’s not much. I managed to get all this information from numerous health care websites run by different nations.

The bottom line is; it doesn’t matter where we live, heart attacks are a nightmarish disease. Spread the word of awareness.
