Signs of a heart attack: how to identify a possible heart problem

After the former special secretary of culture, Mário Frias, suffered a heart attack at the age of 50, heart care became even more evident.

Former Special Secretary of Culture, Mario Fria50 years old, he suffered a heart attack last Monday night (04) and was admitted to the Santa Lúcia hospital, in Brasilia, with no expected discharge. The information was posted on his Instagram account.

What happened with Mário Frias reignited the alert about the risks of not taking proper care of heart health and what are the possible signals your body gives you when there is a risk of a heart attack or sudden illness. .

Among the main signs of a heart attack are:

• Pain in the chest, neck, arms, back and stomach
• General malaise;
• Sweating;
• Nausea and vomit.

All of these symptoms usually last 10 to 20 minutes and can be signs of a possible acute heart attack. The big problem is that, in most cases, by the time the body starts giving these warnings, it may be too late to act.

“In the event of a heart attack, only the doctor can act and the recommended thing is to immediately take the patient to the emergency room, but anyone can start the heart massage until help arrives”, explains Dr. Fatima El Hajj, vascular surgeon.

Therefore, prevention against heart problems must also take place without apparent symptoms. “The practice of physical activity, together with a healthy diet, that is, leaving aside fatty foods and sugars, are fundamental habits to prevent a heart attack” complete the doctor.

F.risk actors

We can consider risk factors as other types of signs that, at some point in your life, you may be suffering from some type of heart attack or severe heart problems. Are they:

• Inappropriate diet;
• Sedentary lifestyle;
• Use of tobacco;
• High pressure;
• High cholesterol
• Obesity;
• Excessive alcoholic beverages.

The ideal is to periodically perform routine tests, such as blood, electrocardiogram and, before starting any physical activity, do a medical evaluation. According to cardiologist Dr. Vitor Loures, most people who come to the emergency room with chest pain have heart artery disease and don’t know it.
