A heart attack is a disease in which there is a complete cessation of blood supply along one of the arteries that feed the heart, as a result of which the corresponding part of the heart muscle dies.
For the development of myocardial infarction, there is a sufficiently complete overlap of the artery within 15-30 minutes. The death of myocardial cells is accompanied by such a severe pain syndrome that sometimes the patient has mental disorders.
It must be said, no matter how strange it sounds, myocardial infarction develops more acutely and proceeds in patients that have not had heart problems.
The main classic symptom of myocardial infarction is pressing or beeing pain behind the sternum, which can “give” under the left shoulder blade, to the left hand or lower jaw. It may be accompanied by nausea, vomiting, a sense of fear of death. Nitroglycerin, which patients usually take with angina pectoris, does not bring relief. These are perhaps the most basic symptoms that always make the patient call an ambulance.
However, not all heart attacks are accompanied by pain in the heart, some of them can occur in an atypical form or without any symptoms at all.
If, in your opinion, an ordinary disease begin to behave somehow unusual,Seek medical help immediately!
