| Symptoms Of Heart Disease |
Coronary heart disease is divided into two types that are categorized by the level of blockage of blood flow to the heart. Both types include:
Angina
This condition is also known as wind sitting in Indonesia. Angina is a chest pain that arises due to reduced blood supply to the heart muscle due to constriction of blood vessels. A person suffering from angina is at higher risk for heart attacks than those who do not suffer from angina.
These attacks usually last a few minutes and are triggered by physical activity or stress. The types of illness vary. Some feel spread around the chest, heavy as crushed, or tightness. In addition to chest pain, one can also feel shortness of breath, nausea , fatigue, dizziness and anxiety when angina attacks.
Angina can be grouped into two types, namely stable angina and unstable angina.
Stable angina is a type of angina attack that occurs when the heart is required to work harder, for example during heavy activity. This attack can be treated with medication and rest. Stable angina attacks are not life-threatening, but they must be wary of them.
While unstable angina is an attack of angina that attacks suddenly and without obvious cause. This attack can take place even if the patient is relaxed or rested and can not always be treated with medication.
Unstable angina attacks require emergency medical treatment because it indicates that patients experience heart function that decreases dramatically. If after a second dose of angina medicine chest still hurts, immediately go to the nearest hospital.
Heart attack
Heart attacks occur when blood flow to the heart is completely blocked. Symptoms can be diverse, but the pain of a heart attack is similar to that of angina, but it is often more severe.
Medical treatment within minutes is necessary because these attacks can damage the heart muscle permanently.
Some of the symptoms of heart attack are severe chest pain, difficulty breathing, feeling weak, dizzy, and panic. The chest pain can also spread to the neck to the jaw, to the left arm, and to the back.
But keep in mind that not all heart attack patients experience severe chest pain. Indication of heart attack is not determined by the severity of chest pain, but rather from a combination of perceived symptoms.
Untreated heart disease will lead to deadly complications. When not receiving the blood supply to be too weak to pump blood, the heart's performance will decrease. This condition is called heart failure . These complications can occur suddenly or gradually. Given the condition of heart failure, other organs such as the kidneys and lungs will also be affected over time.
