How to Diagnose a Heart Attack or MI?

in #health7 years ago

There are thousands of people every year who fall prey to heart attacks without even realizing that they have it in the first place. They act as if nothing has happened because most who had early stages of heart attacks are asymptomatic until the crisis happens.

Think of it as a walking time bomb.
In any case, if you find yourself suffering from any heart attack symptoms, you must get emergency treatment immediately. The speed of treatment is of utmost importance when dealing with episodes of heart attacks. In fact, the faster the emergency treatment, the higher the chance of survival.
When you're having an attack, bear in mind to seek help from others.

while I agree your comments that heart attacks are bad and having atherosclerosis is a major risk factor I found that your post was a bit misleading about the diagnosis of a heart attack. I appreciate you referring people to seek emergency care. It can be dangerous to try and self diagnose. If you believe you are having a heart attack please call your doctor who in turn may refeR you to your local emergency Dept. If you are interested in how to actually diagnose a heart attack I’m happy to help educate the community.
