According to general practitioner Elena Spirochkina, myocardial infarction can have the most unexpected signs.
Myocardial infarction is a life-threatening disease. It is caused by the death of part of the heart muscle because blood flow through a large artery of the heart stops. The immediate cause of a heart attack is the formation of atherosclerotic plaques with the formation of blood clots in the arteries of the heart.
Spirochkina notes: there are several unusual symptoms of myocardial infarction. For example, signs of cerebral – headache, dizziness.
– With a bronchial symptom, patients experience shortness of breath, a feeling of lack of air, even attacks of suffocation. A person cannot either inhale or exhale,” the doctor told the online publication“Moscow Region Today.”
There is also an abdominal symptom, with in which the patient experiences pain in the stomach and intestines. With an arrhythmic symptom, people complain of heart rhythm disturbances.
The most dangerous option is the painless one, the doctor noted. The person has no pain, his blood pressure is slightly elevated, and he feels general weakness.
— The person does not feel any symptoms, he just feels unwell. An ambulance arrives, the doctor takes an ECG and determines a heart attack,” said Spirochkina.
What is a pre-infarction state? Symptoms:
- the appearance of pain in the sternum during physical activity, emotional stress;
- feelings of interruptions in the functioning of the heart;
- dizziness, increased heart rate;
- increased angina attacks;
