What to do if a heart attack or its symptoms are felt? If you get a heart attack, then you adopt these 7 tips to save your life. Learn what the symptoms of heart attack are and what is necessary to prevent it.

People get nervous on hearing the name of the heart attack, because they have seen hundreds of people dying around them due to heart attack. But do you know when the symptoms of heart attack are felt, if the patient or the people around him follow some important instructions at the right time, and then the patient's life can be saved. My mother had a silent heart attack. She was dying but we were ignorant about the treatment and couldn’t help her but to see her dying slowly.

In fact, a heart attack is a medical emergency that means that the sooner someone starts treatment, the more likely they are to avoid treatment. But it is not necessary that whenever a person has a heart attack, there should be a helper around him or a hospital is present. In such a situation, remembering some important points can give the patient at least the time to reach the hospital.

Let us know what those important things are:

What are the reasons of a heart attack?

As you know that the blood flow in our whole body remains at all times. Our heart does this work to flow this blood into the whole body. The right side of the heart pumps the blood present in your body into your lungs.

From here oxygen dissolves in the blood and then that blood enters the left part of your heart. The left part of your heart re-pumps this oxygenated blood and sends it to all parts of the body.

Heart attack comes when blood does not reach your heart. This causes the heart cells to die.

What symptoms can identify a heart attack?

• ·        Severe chest pain due to heart attack. Many times chest pain is felt moving between the left shoulder and jaw.
• ·        Apart from this, intense pain may also be felt on the spine between the back.
• ·        Suddenly darkness falls in front of the eyes and begins to lose consciousness, fainting,
• ·        The patient may have nausea, indigestion, heart burn or abdominal pain, light-headedness and sudden dizziness.
• ·        If the person is walking or standing, he may fall while walking.
• ·        Along with severe pain, cold sweat starts on the face and forehead and a strong heat is felt.

 

What to do when a heart attack occurs?

There are some things to keep in mind when you feel any of the symptoms mentioned above. Following these instructions at the right time can save the life of a heart attack patient (even if it is you).

• ·        First call the ambulance. Call the national emergency number 102 or find out the emergency ambulance service number of your state and save it on the phone.
• ·        Sit wherever you are, in whatever situation. If you have a chair or seat around you, then sit on it. If nothing, sit on the ground.
• ·        If your clothes are tight, loosen them immediately. Open the top button of the shirt and if wearing a tie around the neck, then loosen it.
• ·        Take deep breaths loudly. Count while breathing. The deeper and faster you breathe, the sooner your lungs will get oxygen.
• ·        Chew 300mg aspirin tablets immediately. If a person has had a heart attack before or is a victim of high blood pressure, then he should take 2-3 aspirin tablets with him. If you do not have an aspirin tablet, ask people around you for help.
• ·        Immediately after aspirin, place 1 tablet of nitroglycerin under your tongue and suck it.
• ·        If you do not feel any decrease in pain, then take 1 more tablet of nitroglycerin in 15 minutes.
• ·        Begin CPR if the person is unconscious.

If you follow at least these instructions, then you will get enough time till the ambulance arrives and the patient reaches the hospital. After reaching the hospital, the doctor can start your treatment and examination. This way you can overcome the risk of heart attack with a little caution. If you ever had heart disease, high blood pressure or cholesterol, keep 2 tablets of 300 mg aspirin and 2 tablets of nitroglycerin in your purse or pocket.
