One of the reasons why it may be difficult to detect a heart attack is because, while some of the most common symptoms are well known, other early signs may vary and be easy to rule out.
Tiktoker Nikki (@martyandnikki) was generally healthy when I had a heart attack only 46 years. In a candidate video, he shared some of the symptoms he wrote as things like indigestion and perimenopause.
“Two days ago I had a heart attack,” he said. “I have no previous medical conditions. I have never taken any vaccine against cubica … I had some warnings about a week before.”
It all started when he woke up one morning to find his left shoulder felt a little sore, almost as if he had been “sleeping -badly”, which “crushed to be a” frozen shoulder “of the perimenopause.”
The day before his heart attack, still sore, he woke up to feel he was going to vomit, but the nausea spent only 15 minutes later, so he did not approach.
On the day of his heart attack, the same symptoms persisted, but now he also felt a tightness in his chest, “as if someone released it,” and the pain in the shoulder began traveling on the arm.
He took a hot shower, which can help the pain in the chest relaxing the muscles and increasing the blood flow in the area, and immediately felt better.
Nikki had the doctor’s appointment that morning for unrelated reasons, so he told him about his symptoms he hoped he needed to go to ER, and he considered it unnecessary.
Although he told him to go to the ER if the symptoms were repeated, “he did not feel that he should go to the emergency room then because he had no symptom and probably could not see what was happening,” he said.
Shortly after lunch, the symptoms returned, and they were worse.
“Arm pain was imprisoned all the way, my chest felt that he was tightening as tight as he could squeeze [and] I started to feel -me sick again, “he said.
Nikki went up to his car to drive to the hospital, which is also when he began to experiment with “extreme sweating” and the pain in the left arm was “asleep”.
Luckily, once he was in the ER, he saw her almost immediately by a nurse, who accredits her life. He confirmed that he was having a heart attack and precipitated it in the procedure that put it in his hand.
His video received more than 400,000 likes, with many commentators who thanked him for sharing his story, while expressing the shock that the doctor did not immediately make an EKG.
Some said that it seemed that doctors were often too fast to dismiss a heart attack as anxiety, especially when the patient is a woman.
Others said that some of the symptoms can really be easy to overlook, with a user writing: “I don’t think people understand how normal it can look and act while they have a heart attack. My husband seemed so normal when we went to the ER, he had doubts and was an experienced RN.”
Some of the most common and well -known symptoms of a heart attack include chest pain and left shoulder pain traveling on the arm, but there are other atypical signs.
Dr. Guruprasad Srinivas, director of cardiac rehabilitation at Northwell Staten Island University Hospital, previously told The Post that people with diabetes and women were especially likely to some less common symptoms.
According to Srinivas, these symptoms may include a toothache, stomach pain and nausea, fatigue, profuse sweating and, with more concern, nothing.
“In many cases, patients will have no symptom, but they will be presented with a silent heart attack,” he said.
Srinivas said that making healthy life options, such as exercise, not smoking and avoiding sugar, “can take a long way to help prevent the development of cardiac diseases, such as periodic evaluations of cardiovascular risk with health professionals.”
While fewer older people have heart attacks, women have been increasing between 35 and 54 years old.
