A heart attack, which is the most common consequence of a heart
disease, can be recognized not only by three symptoms in the
previous article mentioned, but also be recognized by other
warning signs, such as unusual chest, stomach or abdominal pain,
nausea or dizziness, cold sweat or paleness, shortness of breath
or difficulty breathing, weakness or fatigue, palpitations, and
unexplained anxiety.
It is very important to be calm when a relative, friend or
person has a heart attack, since you will have to know what to
do if something like this happens. The first thing is to call an
ambulance immediately. Then, according to experts, check whether
the patient is conscious or not and place them flat on their
back, kneel beside them and put one hand on their forehead and
the other on their chin.
After doing these, tilt back their head. And lift their chin
until their teeth almost touch. You will have to look and listen
for signs of breathing. Pinch their nose and cover their mouth
with yours, if the person is not breathing normally. Give two
full breaths. The person's chest should rise as a consequence.
You may check the person's pulse by putting your fingers on
their neck, next to their Adam's apple and windpipe, which is
the tube through which air passes from mouth to lungs. Put your
hands on the centre of the person's chest at the height of their
nipples, if there is no pulse. Then put one hand on top of the
other. Push down two inches on their chest 15 times. Continue
with the two breaths and 15 pumps until an ambulance arrives.
