Due to bad lifestyle and eating habits, cases of heart attack are increasing rapidly. Nowadays, cases of heart attack are coming to the fore while dancing, working out and walking. In such a situation, the question arises that if a heart attack occurs suddenly, what should be done first? Actually, nowadays the cases of heart attack are increasing rapidly. This disease is very common in people above 50 years of age, but in the last few years this disease has become very common in children of 15-20 years of age also.
Those who died from this disease include people of all ages and backgrounds. Therefore, completely remove from your mind that heart attacks happen only to elderly and rich people. This deadly disease can affect anyone. Dr. Anuj Kumar, posted at Ranchi Institute of Medical Sciences, Jharkhand, often shares information about his work on various health issues on his X handle. Now he has explained the symptoms of heart attack and also given tips to avoid it. Let us know what are the primary symptoms of heart attack.
Heart attack symptoms
Severe chest pain.
It may also feel like pressure, heaviness or tightness.
This pain occurs above the stomach. And then goes towards the left hand and shoulder. Many times, symptoms of heart attack include pain in the jaw and teeth.
Difficulty breathing and sweating are early symptoms of heart attack.
Some people also feel the feeling of gas formation in the stomach.
The person has had a heart attack. Because in a heart attack the heartbeat stops, hence a pulse cannot be found. It is necessary to revive his heart within two to three minutes, otherwise his brain may get damaged due to lack of oxygen. In such a situation, if a heart attack occurs, immediately punch the chest hard. Beat him until he regains consciousness. With this his heart will start working again.
Give CPR to an unconscious person immediately
If someone has become unconscious and there is no pulse, then immediately give him CPR with your hands. Mainly two tasks are done in CPR. First is to press the chest and second is to give breath through the mouth which is called mouth to mouth respiration. Place your palm in the middle of the first person’s chest. While pumping, place the palm of one hand on top of the other and bind the fingers tightly and keep both hands and elbows straight. After that the chest is compressed by pumping the chest. By doing this the heartbeats start again. Press the chest with the palm for 1-2 inches. Do this a hundred times in a minute.
