Act wisely .. Symptoms that warn of "imminent heart attack"
The British Heart Foundation (BHF) has warned that a "sudden feeling of anxiety", similar to a panic attack, could be a sign of the heart being deprived of oxygen.
Other possible symptoms of a heart attack include excessive coughing or wheezing, which is caused by fluid buildup in the lungs;
According to what was reported by "Russia Today".
Experts at the BHF stated that "the symptoms of a heart attack can last for days, or they can appear suddenly and unexpectedly."
More common symptoms of a heart attack:
1- Chest pain or discomfort.
2- Chest pain that spreads to the neck, jaw, back, stomach, or arms.
3- Feeling sick, light-headed, or short of breath.
And here you need to know that people have a different tolerance for pain.
And what may seem like a slight inconvenience to one person, can be very distressing to another.
What to do in the event of a heart attack
It is best if the injured person sits, rests, and takes 30 grams of aspirin while waiting for the ambulance to arrive, and anyone in cardiac arrest is likely to receive it until paramedics arrive, taking care of instructions over the phone on how to perform CPR.
Post-heart attack
Even under medical supervision, recovery from a heart attack can take months;
The NHS says: "Once you return home it is usually recommended to rest and do only light activities", and this may include going up and down the stairs several times a day, or walking a short distance.
Gradually increase the amount of activity you do each day over several weeks.
Whether you hope to prevent a heart attack in the first place, or hope to avoid another one;
There are modifiable risk factors that you can change, for example you will need to stick to a diet rich in nutrients and full of healthy foods, and this will help to lower cholesterol and high blood pressure, and thus reduce the risk of heart attack.
