There are many factors that increase the risk of heart attack. It is vital to detect a heart attack in advance and to intervene correctly. Doctor Jessica Cohn said she didn’t notice the signs of a heart attack, warning anyone with stomach problems of the danger. “I assumed that life was crazy and I wasn’t feeling well because I didn’t get much sleep,” Jessica, 37, mother of two, said of her problems.
Jessica experienced occasional pain that radiated from her chest to her throat. She recalled: “I thought I had terrible reflux because I was tired and not eating properly.” She had been ignoring the intermittent chest pain for a week, but at work she was unable to ignore it.
HE HAS NEVER EXPERIENCED HEALTH PROBLEMS RELATING TO THE HEART
Jessica told Insider that the heartburn feeling had started again, but then the pain got so intense that she called an ambulance because she felt pale and sweaty. Jessica said heart attacks were “not even on her radar” because heart attacks are so rare in her age group. “I’ve never had a heart problem,” said Jessica, who was tested at the hospital.
“Later, when I was reviewing my map, I saw it was written that I was worried, but I wasn’t worried, I was just in a lot of pain,” he said.
The results came back positive when tested for troponin, a protein that occurs when heart damage occurs. Jessica was taken into surgery after the interventions. Jessica was later diagnosed with two blood vessel disorders, vasospasm and microvascular disease.
