Recognize the symptoms of heart problems so you can seek medical intervention immediately.
REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA – The heart is the most important organ in the human body. People can live while their hearts are still functioning.
If the heart stops doing its job, all the systems in the body can no longer work. Because, it is the heart that pumps blood to all other organs.
It is important to carry out regular health checks to see if this organ is in good condition. Rajneesh Kapoor, Deputy Chair of Interventional Cardiology, Heart Institute, Medanta, India said that although not all heart problems are accompanied by clear signs or symptoms, people need to know the general symptoms in order to detect the slightest change or abnormality.
If you experience symptoms of heart problems, seek medical intervention immediately to prevent the situation from worsening. Reported Indian ExpressThere are 10 signs of unhealthy heart conditions that need to be watched out for early. By paying attention to symptoms, which may even be unimaginable, you can prevent fatal things from happening.
1. Discomfort in the chest
This is the most common symptom that can signal danger to the heart. People can experience tightness, pain, or pressure in the chest when their arteries become blocked or when they have a heart attack.
Symptoms can appear at rest or during some physical activity. Usually, symptoms last for several minutes.
The pain is brief and the area is more painful when touched or pushed. In certain cases, especially in women, a heart attack can occur without chest pain.
2. Nausea and heartburn
Some people experience nausea, indigestion, heartburn or stomach pain during a heart attack. These symptoms can be accompanied by vomiting as well.
Therefore, in most cases, a heart attack can be mistaken for indigestion. Likewise, stomach problems can also occur for other reasons, but you should be aware that they can also signal a heart attack.
3. Pain
Another common sign of an unhealthy heart condition is pain that radiates to the lower left side of the body. Usually, the pain originates in the chest and radiates to the outside of the arm. Arm pain can also be a symptom of a heart condition.
4. Dizziness and fainting
Anyone can experience lightheadedness and fainting, whether from the heat of the sun, poor ventilation, and getting up too quickly from a sitting or barbaric position, anxiety or shock, or from tightness in the chest or breathing.
However, this condition can also indicate something more serious, such as a drop in blood pressure. It can also interfere with the heart’s ability to pump blood.
5. Pain in the throat or jaw
A sore throat or jaw is usually caused by muscle, cold, or sinus problems. However, if you experience pain or discomfort in your chest that radiates to your jaw or throat, it could signal a heart attack.
