Signs of the heart

Your heart will always give you a sign that something is wrong, however, the question is whether people will pay due attention to it or not.

Experts insist that they should be alert for the following symptoms: difficulty breathing when performing any activity, chest pain or pressure, tachycardia (beats faster than normal), arrhythmia (irregular heartbeat).

“Myocardial infarction – heart attack – is more common between the ages of 45 and 65. “Risk factors have already accumulated over many years to produce these incidents,” according to experts.

“Men present higher frequency, compared to premenopausal women thanks to female hormones. After a woman enters menopause, the frequency of the disease evens out,” explains Dr. Daniel Pichel, cardiologist at Paitilla Hospital.

these risk factors were mentioned: high cholesterol, smoking, high blood pressure, diabetes, sedentary lifestyle and obesity.

Anyone who has one of these diagnoses must keep in mind that part of the treatment of this disease must be aimed at protecting the cardiovascular condition and thereby preventing its development.

That the first manifestation of a cardiac event is a myocardial infarction, angina pectoris or sudden death without any manifestations is not common. When a deeper and more detailed history is taken, some symptoms are usually revealed that were not given importance until now.

However, it can happen that the first manifestation in a person is a fatal event.

“Not all people who die suddenly or suddenly mean it’s a heart attack, this is very important to clarify. It could be an arrhythmia or some other condition. An autopsy can determine the cause of death with certainty,” explained the specialist.

Beware of cardiovascular events!

The two most common symptoms are chest pain, but not a few stabs, but a feeling of pressure in the center of the chest, progressive and lasting several minutes.

In addition, it can spread to the shoulders, neck, jaw and back and cause cold sweats, allowing the patient to realize that something important is happening.

Another symptom is when you suddenly start feeling short of breath and the person has no ability to perform physical activities.
