Cardiology professor Ulf Landmesser from Berlin named three main signs of a heart attack. According to him, this is severe pressure in the chest, pain that spreads to the neck and left arm, and soreness in the abdomen.
The doctor noted that these symptoms can be accompanied by shortness of breath and anxiety, and also stressed that if they appear, you should immediately seek medical help. In addition, Landmesser recommended taking aspirin. The therapeutic effect of this drug is due to the fact that it thins the blood and dissolves clots in the vessels of the heart, which are the cause of a heart attack, writes Focus Online.
In turn, the therapist of the highest category Aleksey Bezymyanny stressed that any sharp pain in the chest should be a cause for concern. The specialist noted that myocardial infarction began to occur more often in people aged 25-30 years. According to him, atherosclerotic plaques in the vessels contribute to the development of this disease. The reason for their formation is unhealthy diet, smoking and taking various psychoactive substances.
