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.
