Listen To Your Heart
Heart attacks need
not kill or destroy heart muscle if you listen when your body is trying
to tell you something.
- Be aware of a pressure
- not necessarily pain - in the chest. If it subsides when you rest,
but increases with activity, it is your warning of a heart attack. Quick
treatment by experts can stop it.
- Don't go to your doctor's office. Go straight
to the nearest hospital emergency room. And don't try to rationalize it
away as something else. Your body knows what it is talking about.
- Delay in seeking medical attention is the real
risk factor. It is more important than cholesterol, smoking or other
risk factors.
- Early Heart Attack Care is knowing the
subtle danger signs and symptoms and acting upon them before damage occurs.
- By listening to your heart, many heart attacks might be prevented.
