Cardiology Specialist Dr. İbrahim Oğuz gave important information about the most common symptoms of heart attacks and the increasing number of heart attack cases in young people recently. Cardiology Specialist Dr. explains that the heart lacks oxygen and the tissues die as a result of the blockage in the vessels feeding the heart, as a heart attack. Oğuz listed the 5 most common symptoms of heart attacks.
THE MOST IMPORTANT SYMPTOM…
Despite many symptoms, Dr. explains the first five symptoms. Oğuz said, “The most important of this is chest pain. In addition, we may experience shortness of breath, burning sensation in the stomach area, palpitations or dizziness. Patients with such symptoms should contact healthcare institutions as soon as possible. “A heart attack is a very urgent situation and is life-threatening,” he said.
HEART ATTACK MAY NOT BE DETECTED WHEN THE SENSE OF PAIN DECREASES
Cardiology Specialist Dr. stated that there are situations where patients whose pain sensation decreases cannot realize that they are having a heart attack. İbrahim Oğuz said, “Some patients, especially diabetics, may have decreased pain sensation. In addition, patients may experience shortness of breath while walking, chest pains radiating to the jaw or back, or a feeling of fainting. “In this case, if we detect high crisis values in blood tests and a disorder in the heart chart, we can diagnose this situation as a heart attack and we need to intervene,” he said.
BEWARE OF SCREEN ADDICTION
Cardiology Specialist Dr. gave information about the increasing number of heart attack cases in young people recently. Oğuz said, “Heart attack in young people is a subject that is most frequently asked and talked about lately. We need to be very careful about this, too.
RISK FACTORS
Especially with the development of technology, the decrease in sports habits and the increase in screen exposure time pose a risk factor for us. Patients or people should exercise more regularly and reduce screen exposure time. “Also, habits that are risk factors such as smoking should be avoided,” he said.
