Know the Early Warning Signs of a Heart Attack?

It’s really common to speak with someone after a coronary event and hear they felt like something was wrong for a while, but didn’t get checked out. The warning signs of a heart attack are actually pretty clear, they can start hours, days or even weeks before you end up in the hospital.

You have to mention that some of these symptoms can relate to anxiety/panic disorders.

Man... If these were not so common for people with anxiety and panic disorder, I would have been dead 7 years ago. Can't tell you how much debt I have going to the ER. -_-

I'm glad I wasn't having a heart attack when watching this

[drifta]

It sucks that anxiety panic attack can mimic a heart attack

[deanbrandt]

The horrible thing is.... you don’t know if it’s an anxiety attack or a heart attack. There’s a fine line. I hope I won’t be scared when my time comes.

I feel these symptoms regularly, but I do have something else wrong. I have so many different symptoms anyway.

Very useful. In terms of actual symptoms, it’s the nausea, sudden sweat and pain on left shoulder/arm, from experience. Many of these can manifest for days, but sudden sweating on top of other symptoms (without intense activity or change in temperature) might mean things are going downhill rapidly.

My advice is to exercise if you are worried about experiencing heart disease. You should get into a habit of running for 10-20 mins every other day. It's very good for your heart as it will lower your resting pulse and your lung capacity will increase meaning you can increase oxygen into the body. This will improve your fitness asw as you will be able to run similar distances with greater intensity.

Now the best way to know if somethings wrong is if you go for this run I've just told you about and you stop. Not because you're out of breath or tired, but because you feel pain in your legs or severe left shoulder and arm pain. If this happens get it checked asap otherwise if you run regularly and you never feel any of these pains afterwards then you're probably fine

As for running, sprinting is definitely the optimal choice. So with these regular runs push yourself towards the end and then walk whilst standing up as straight as possible to allow more oxygen into your lungs and not to tense up your calf muscles. Marathon runners are at risk of developing heart disease depending on how often they run. If you're running long distances on a regular basis it means your blood pressure is high. Whilst it's good to increase your blood pressure temporarily through exercise it can damage the arteries if overdone. Be careful. Recovery is just as important as exercise.

I work a very physical demanding job. I got off work, ate dinner, was relaxing in my chair before bed. Maybe 2 to 3 hour after working my left shoulder, under my arm ribs(the side), peck and the deltoid on top on my shoulder locked up so bad it wouldn't release for like an hour. It was hard to take deep breaths cuz it move stuff and hurt. Everyone's worries made me start to worry. It finally relaxed after waking the gf and putting icy hot. The muscles themselves hurt when I poke them and I feel like I'm not dying just injured/ dehydrated ty ty ty

Yesterday I had my shoulder joint hurt really bad almost like I slept on it wrong...woke up today and it was gone and whenever I roll over in my bed it's like the middle part of my chest hurts but no other symptoms...just had a CBC blood test just the other day and everything came back normal

[academiaemergencista]

it´s awesome the content and the animation. What tools do you use to make such incredible animations? tks

[rambololal]

When intercostal muscles get tense (f.x. after feeling very anxious or experiencing a lot of stress) you experience discomfort or chest pain. When you breathe in an irregular fashion (f.x. because of anxiety) in conjunction with bad posture you can experience chest pain. When you have too much attention on your bodily symptoms you might perceive chest pain (that is really just a part of normal bodily symptoms). So, you can experience chest pain for variety of reasons. Just, be ready if it doesn't go away or gets worse, then you might have to worry, OR it's in conjunction with other heart attack symptoms.

I can’t figure out if the pain is real or im just freaking out
