Morning. Been thinking a lot about heart health and while I know many of us dont like to hear what could go wrong, does not hurt to have a heart discussion. Did you know that the heart disease is a silent killer? Heart attacks rarely happen Hollywood style with one clutching at the heart and gasping. This was never apparent to me until now. You are more likely to feel: 1. Discomfort in the chest: Anywhere in chest and that is usually the problem. The pain may not occur at the heart, and we might ignore it. This could go on for weeks, sometimes months. People report pain in the chest and other areas before the heart attack. 2. Indigestion, nausea, anxiety and discomfort in the tummy is also another sign. 3. Unusual fatigue even while doing your normal routine 4. shortness of breath and disturbed sleeping patterns 5. Pressure, tightness, aching, or burning in your upper back, neck, shoulders, and arms, or even in the jaw or throat can be signs of heart distress Unfortunately, these symptoms are, on their own, sometimes not taken seriously, even by doctors because they seem nothing out of the ordinary. Have yourself properly checked should you feel something is not right. All this symptoms could go on for months before the heart finally has had enough. Heart attacks and heart damage due to clogged arteries can be prevented. This differ from person to person and just because your friend has been fine, does not mean your body can handle the same amount of stress. Do take your heart health seriously. There is lots of info in the net, as always. or talk to a friend in health care.
