Hello,today I am going to discuss Heart attack awareness.Most people think that it's not possible they could have one.You can exercise every day of your life and still have one.A heart attack occurs when oxygen flowing to the heart muscle gets cut off Partically or fully.This could happen because of high cholesterol levels or other reasons.Many times you will not know when you are having one.The main symptom is chest tightness or pain.Other symptoms include lightheadedniss,nausea,pain in one or both arms etc.Remember,if you have these symptoms and you just ignore it every minute that goes by decreases your chances of surviving.Heart attack/heart disease is the number 3 killer of people around the world.If you see it or feel it.Do something.It could save your life.

So true jerry, I had one in early July, and I ignored the signs.

Jerry, this is a nice PSA, but don't forget to remind people that most women present with different symptoms than men. In fact, the MOST common symptom women experience during a cardiac event is nausea.
It's always good to keep in mind that, when in doubt, we should always err on the side of caution.

A good idea is to keep aspirin in your house. If you suspect you are having a heart attack, chew two of them. Aspirin thins your blood and increases your chance of surviving a heart attack. Chewing them causes them to dissolve faster and enters your blood stream faster.

Women and diabetics are very hard to diagnose a heart attack in the field, they rarely present with the "classic" warning signs. In addition to nausea I have encountered many women and diabetics complaining of back pain.
If you suspect anything call 911, the ambulance will be able to capture an early snapshot of your heart rhythm via 12 lead EKG, which will greatly aid in the treatment of your MI. They will also be able to administer some medications that will temporarily slow or stop the damage being done to your heart.
