SEÑALES 1 MES ANTES de que TE INFARTES| ATAQUE al CORAZÓN

If you notice any of these seven symptoms, you may be a few days away from suffering a heart attack and you should seek a cardiologist as soon as possible, because time that passes is a heart that is lost. To say I'm surprised is an understatement. I am scared.

In the last ten years, heart attacks or heart attacks have been increasing and occur more and more in people under 40 years of age and in women. I am Dr Veller and I want us to debate together. Why heart attack cases are increasing and why they are increasingly occurring in young people, both men and women or even in those who seemed to have no previous heart problems.

And when one least expects it. Today I am going to reveal it to you. But I also want to know your opinion.

Look, according to international authorities, cardiovascular diseases claim more than 17 million lives a year. This is equivalent to more than 30 people dying every minute. Not even cancer and traffic accidents cause so much damage.

The problem is that these diseases are silent. We realize when it is too late. And this happens because people are not explained to the seven warning signs that occur in your body before you have a heart attack.

Sometimes a month, sometimes days before, and today I am going to teach you to recognize them. Many call this a pre-infarction or silent heart attack and at the end of the video I will also tell you what is causing heart attacks in people under 40 years of age. So why do heart attacks occur?

The heart pumps blood with nutrients and oxygen throughout the body, including the heart muscle itself. The coronary arteries are those that are in its wall responsible for carrying blood to the heart itself. A heart attack, also called coronary syndrome, occurs when blood flow in these arteries is blocked and that can be caused by having the arteries clogged with cholesterol, calcium, inflammation in their wall, which prevents blood from flowing freely.

The main cause of this is atherosclerosis. The problem is that atherosclerosis is a silent threat. It is like a plaque of cholesterol and inflammation that grows in your artery, blocking blood flow and it does so slowly.

It takes years to completely block it and cause heart attacks or sudden death. But in some cases, even without a complete obstruction of the artery, the plaque ruptures because it is very soft due to inflammation in its wall and when it ruptures, a blood clot forms on it, which ends up blocking the entire artery. and causing the heart attack.

Now, before this happens, you may have signs or symptoms of pre-infarction, which is a condition where the lack of blood and oxygen to your heart was not so serious, there was no time for the death of a part of your heart to occur. heart muscle, but it may happen in the next few days. And when do these symptoms appear?

This can happen when you are stressed, scared, have an argument during very vigorous physical exertion, lack of sleep or poor sleep, or any situation that makes your heart race too fast. But it can happen at any time of the day. And pay attention.

Preinfarction does not always give obvious symptoms, that is, the chest does not always hurt. There are discomforts that you can feel and believe it is something else. So the first thing I ask you is not to ignore what I am going to tell you now.

Your health depends on it. Let's look at the seven warning signs that occur before having a heart attack. The first is very common in women and older people.

Digestive discomfort, stomach pain that looks like gastritis, but is not. Stomach bloating during or after eating. Even stomach pain when walking or making some effort should make you think it's your heart.

Mainly if you have risk factors and the main risk factors for having a heart attack are those that cause atherosclerosis, being over 50 years old, but they can occur at any age, especially today, so I am going to tell you. Also having diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity or excess visceral fat, smoking or someone who smokes in your house. In my practice, when I visit patients who had a heart attack, they tell me that the symptoms started days before, such as burning or pressure in the stomach and thinking it was gastritis, they took antacids or omeprazole, but they did not improve.

So keep this in mind because if you detect it in time you can save your heart. Second symptom. Pay attention here, 70% of women who had a heart attack report having had fatigue or shortness of breath in the days before, sometimes hours before.

Similar to a flu-like illness, but without cough, without fever, without sore throat. This should catch your attention. It's like extreme weakness or muscle fatigue.

So, if within the last 30 days you began to feel short of breath when walking a block, climbing stairs, or feeling disproportionate to the effort you are making, you should think that you may have clogged arteries. Even if your chest doesn't hurt. But how do you know if that shortness of breath or fatigue is really due to the heart and not simply due to lack of physical activity, anemia, bronchitis or any other lung problem?

Well, you should suspect a threatened heart attack or silent heart attack in two situations. First, when you notice that this symptom has worsened in the last few days or weeks and especially when you didn't have it before. And two.

And most importantly, when you have those risk factors and it is accompanied by the other symptoms that I am going to tell you now. Symptom number three. Jaw pain.

Be careful here. Just as when your leg tingles, it could be because your spine is having problems or when your shoulder hurts, it could be because you have a problem with your gallbladder or liver, when your jaw hurts, especially on the left side, it could be that the problem is in your heart and a threat of heart attack is occurring. This happens because when we are forming at the beginning of our life inside the womb , our organs drag with them nerves that come from other places in the body.

So, when we are adults, our brain confuses where the painful stimulus is coming from. For example, your heart is suffering, but the brain interprets that the problem is in the jaw. This is something very difficult to explain in simple words.

If you understood it, please leave me a comment. But what is my message? If this pain in your jaw started a few days ago and is accompanied, above all, by intense discomfort and you have nothing in your mouth to justify that pain, seek a cardiologist urgently, especially if it is accompanied by the other signs that I am going to tell you.

. Number four. Cold sweating and paleness.

Don't ignore this. Up to 30% of people who had a heart attack felt this in the days before. You suddenly start sweating out of nowhere, but it is a different kind of sweating than that which appears when we are hot or do physical exercise.

It is sticky, cold, accompanied by a feeling of cold on the forehead or throughout the body and a sudden paleness of the skin and can be spontaneously relieved in a few minutes. It's like it comes and goes. This can happen while you are resting or eating something at any time, and it usually happens several times before you have a heart attack.

Number five. Pain in the back. Pay attention here because during my medical life there have been many cases in which I have had pain in the region of the scapula or the lower part of the neck, especially on the left, it can indicate both the beginning of a heart attack and some problem in your aorta artery.

Many think that this is muscle pain, but it should draw your attention that the symptom does not improve or worsen with changes in position or when doing massages. The aorta is one of the largest arteries we have. It carries blood to almost our entire body and sometimes diseases occur that weaken its wall and ulcers or tears form, which causes very intense pain between the scapulae.

The pain is very strong, it seems like something is going through you from the front of your chest to the back. But in the case of a threatened heart attack, the back pain is milder, it feels more like a pressure. In general it lasts a few minutes and it seems to come and go.

You should think it is the heart, especially if you did not have that symptom previously. If you do not find another cause that justifies it, and when it is accompanied by shortness of breath, intense discomfort or any of the other symptoms. Number six.

Numbness of the hand and left arm. Have you noticed in the last month that your left arm and hand hurt slightly or feel numbness that occurs when walking a block or climbing stairs? This can be a warning sign.

Of course, this can occur due to many other health problems, but if the symptom is new in your life, you have the risk factors that I mentioned and you cannot find a logical explanation, look for a cardiologist. And number seven, be careful with those sudden dizziness, a feeling of fainting or low blood pressure that comes and goes out of nowhere or that occurs in recent days when you try to make physical effort, whether by walking a block, climbing stairs or even walking. eat.

Many of these patients undergo cardiac catheterization, a study in which contrast is administered to see how the coronary arteries are doing and it is observed that the obstruction is almost total. But now, how do you know if all that you had was a pre-infarction or a heart attack? When a heart attack occurs, it means that a part of the heart muscle has died due to lack of blood.

Most people feel like a tightness in the chest or a sensation of pressure that lasts for many minutes and does not go away. In addition, it may be accompanied by nausea, vomiting, general malaise, shortness of breath or any of the other symptoms that I told you about previously. Even feeling of death and cold sweating.

The difference with pre-infarction is not the symptoms themselves, but their duration. In general, the pre-infarction or threat of a heart attack, which is the same, lasts a few minutes, ten to 15 minutes and improves quickly when you calm down, sit down or place that vasodilator tablet under your tongue. So, if you have been feeling these symptoms, they can be a warning that you have clogged arteries, but they can also be a warning that there is still a lot to do to save your heart and there is still time.

Likewise, seek help as soon as possible. Go to the emergency room, call an ambulance and a family member because time that passes is a heart that is lost. The first hour after the first symptom occurs is the most important.

It is called the golden hour, because the interventions carried out within these first 60 minutes are key to saving the heart muscle. And also because it is within this first hour that most deaths from cardiac arrest occur. Now, between men and women, is there any difference in heart attack symptoms?

Generally no, but women and older people are more likely to suffer from a heart attack or silent heart attack. This means without feeling chest pain. It is also very common for this group of people to have symptoms in other parts of the body, such as the stomach, back or nausea, vomiting or any of the symptoms that I mentioned previously.

But this can also happen in men and at any age, especially if you have those risk factors that cause them. Now I want us to open a debate. What is causing the increase in heart attacks in young people and women?

In the last 15 years, authorities reported an increase of more than 60% in hospitalizations for heart attacks in people aged 39 or younger. And there is also a notable increase in women. Deaths also increased more than 10%.

And this is because the factors that cause atherosclerosis are increasingly common in young people. Modern life makes our lives much easier, or so we believe. Fast meals within reach with just a click on your cell phone, series to marathon at any time of the day and anywhere.

But at the same time, every year we are more stressed, sleeping less due to having more and more electronic stimuli and worries. Furthermore, food is increasingly far from natural. Ultra-processed, excess vegetable oils with a gigantic amount of omega six.

All of this inflames us inside, causes fatty liver, accumulation of cholesterol, calcium and inflammation in our arteries and also causes the atheroma plaque that blocks them to rupture, causing heart attacks and arrhythmias. So, one of the biggest culprits for this is our modern lifestyle. Now I want to know your opinion and your testimony.

Do you know anyone who had any of these symptoms before a heart attack? What is your experience? I hope you liked it and it was really useful.
