How to know if it is heart attack pain
Dr Nityanand Tripathi, senior cardiologist and electrophysiologist at Fortis Hospital Shalimar Bagh, New Delhi, says, “If there is angina due to any reason, it gets better on sitting, gets worse on standing or walking. Apart from this, this pain also increases after eating food or walking in cold weather. This pain gets better by sitting or resting but heart attack causes continuous pain and it can last for more than half an hour. Some people have pain in the jaw and some people have pain in the hands. Different people experience different symptoms after a heart attack. Even some people may have pain in the upper part of the stomach. He feels that it is a gas pain, but in heart attack pain, prolonged pain is the main symptom. Dr. Nityanand Tripathi told that some people may not have pain, they feel breathless or feel that bloating means gas is filled in the stomach. Heart attack can also occur in these situations. That’s why they should get ECG, cholesterol level, TMT done if there is any kind of pain. If the ECG does not detect it, then other tests are done.

Sugar, BP patients have problems
People who are diabetic, smoker, whose BP is increased, they are more at risk of heart attack. It may also happen in them that there is an atypical chest pain. That is, there should be a different type of pain than normal pain. In this, the patient may feel pain while sitting or there may be some pain after eating food. Such people should get ECG, Echo and TMT done. From this it will be known whether heart attack has happened or not or if there is blockage in the artery then how much is it. If the patient had a heart attack and gradually got better but he did not go to the doctor, then the disease does not reduce, but in that case the possibility of sudden death increases in such patients. This can happen with any patient. That’s why one must go to the doctor if there is continuous pain in the chest.

what is the cause of sudden death in heart attack
Dr. Nityanand Tripathi said that the biggest reason for sudden death in heart attack is sudden arrhythmia. Like someone died suddenly in the gym, died suddenly while walking or died while sitting, the reason for all these is arrhythmia. In this, the risk of sudden death increases a lot. As soon as a heart attack occurs, the coronary artery leading to the heart gets blocked and the area where the blockage is located gets damaged. Due to this, the risk of sudden death increases manifold. Dr. Tripathi told that if someone has had a heart attack and it is not detected, then in this situation the chances of his survival may be more, but in some cases if the heart attack is not detected. That is, if a heart attack occurs without pain, then there is a risk of sudden cardiac death in that situation. Such people die within two to four days.

what happens after a heart attack
As soon as a heart attack occurs, the coronary artery going to the heart gets blocked. The blood reaches the heart from the coronary artery itself, from where the blood is purified and carried to the whole body with oxygen. Due to this, the heart is not able to perform its function properly. If the blockage in the veins is not removed, then the part of the heart where the blood supply is stopped gets damaged. This causes heart failure. If VTVF occurs in this situation, the patient will have a sudden cardiac arrest and the patient will die immediately. If the patient is brought to the hospital in this condition, the doctors give him shock. Revert after this.
