In modern cardiovascular diseases, heart disease is a disease with high morbidity and mortality. When the disease occurs, if the treatment is not timely, it will often endanger life. Sudden death due to cardiovascular disease, medically known as sudden cardiac death, is the most common cause of death in adults under the age of 65 worldwide.
In recent years, the incidence of heart disease among young and middle-aged people has been increasing. Realizing that he already had cardiovascular disease, he wasted the time for treatment. Therefore, homework must be done in the front, and prevention work must be done before heart disease does not come.
A few signs before a heart attack
1Chest tightness, chest pain
In male patients, chest pain is one of the most important early symptoms, which cannot be ignored, and in female patients Chest pain is less frequent than in men. Pain can be persistent or episodic, often radiating to the shoulder and arm (usually the left side), back, and neck discomfort. If there is sudden chest tightness or chest pain that cannot be relieved, or the symptoms are not persistent but occur frequently, be highly alert to the possibility of myocardial infarction. Chest tightness, chest pain, if accompanied by sweating, nausea, vomiting or even a sense of imminent death, or combined with throat discomfort, tightness, etc., is an early warning of myocardial infarction!
Many patients who have suffered a myocardial infarction recall the scene at that time, and most of them would have such descriptions: they felt a big stone pressed against their chest, they could not breathe, and Uncontrollable nausea. The sensation may also radiate to the shoulders and back. If you are doing strenuous exercise, such as long-distance running, swimming, fitness and other high-intensity sports, you should be extra vigilant when this happens. The best way at this time is to stop the activity immediately and rest on the spot. If the symptoms do not relieve in a short time, call 120 in time for prompt medical attention.
2 Unprovoked sweating, nausea, vomiting, and upset stomach
No Only pain, it means there is a problem! Abnormal or excessive sweating can be an early warning sign of a heart attack and can occur at any time of the day or night. The skin is always wet and sweating a lot, which is not directly related to temperature and exercise, especially at night. This symptom occurs more frequently in women and can be easily confused with hot flashes or night sweats during female menopause. Even if there is no chest tightness or chest pain, the simple presence of sweating, nausea, vomiting, and stomach discomfort may be atypical signs of sudden cardiac death.
Most people without a history of heart disease will think that it is a gastrointestinal problem when they have such symptoms, and they will often perform gastroscopy and other examinations when they go to the doctor. But if there is no obvious abnormality in the digestive tract, don’t forget to rule out the heart problem at this time!
3Dark eyes or transient loss of consciousness
Dark eyes, we Call it black. If fainting is accompanied by a transient loss of consciousness, it is medically called syncope. For the elderly who have cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension and coronary heart disease, if amaurosis or syncope occurs repeatedly, they must go to the hospital to check, adjust the medication in time, and give medical intervention.
4 Unexplained palpitations, shortness of breath, or fatigue
For those who have a heart In sick people, such symptoms may indicate a new onset of arrhythmia, in the elderly it may be atrial fibrillation, and in the young it may be supraventricular tachycardia. If it affects normal life, appropriate treatment should be given to prevent irreversible cardiovascular accidents. People without organic heart disease in the past must not ignore it if they have unexplained palpitations, shortness of breath, fatigue, etc.! If you have a long-term rapid heart rate, palpitation, and fatigue after a cold and fever, or gastroenteritis, you will feel extremely tired after a little exercise, and the possibility of combined myocarditis cannot be ruled out.
5Body cold sweats for no reason
Cold sweats are often encountered in life, But if you do too many times, you need to pay attention, which can be a sign that your heart is overwhelmed. Some heart disease patients will have obvious cold sweats before the attack, so the sudden high frequency of cold sweats can be regarded as a precursor to a heart attack.
If the above symptoms appear after recent overwork and heavy smoking, you should be more vigilant and seek medical attention in time to check the electrocardiogram, myocardial injury markers or cardiac color Doppler ultrasound.
