Named new symptoms of a heart attack

According to a study published in the journal "Cardiology", scientists have identified new possible symptoms of a heart attack that can help to recognize this condition in time and increase the chances of saving the patient. In general, a heart attack is caused by a blockage in the arteries that supply the heart and can lead to life-threatening necrosis of heart tissue. Recognizing a heart attack by new symptoms can be key to prompt medical attention.

One of the new symptoms is a feeling of heartburn or discomfort in the upper abdomen. This symptom can easily be confused with problems of the gastrointestinal tract, but its detection during a heart attack can be an important signal for urgent medical help. Another new symptom is feeling sick or losing your appetite, which can occur before or during a heart attack.

The study also indicates that some people may experience non-specific discomfort in the chest or back, which could be a sign of a heart attack. This symptom can be more difficult to identify because it can be caused by other physical or psychological factors. However, if this symptom occurs, especially in combination with others, you should consult a doctor to evaluate the condition of the heart.

Another new symptom is the general weakness or feeling of tiredness that can occur during a heart attack. This symptom may be especially prominent in women, who may exhibit less typical heart attack symptoms. Also, the study highlights the importance of paying attention to changes in health, especially in the case of an increased risk of heart disease, such as high blood pressure or diabetes.

In the event of the appearance of any new symptoms that may indicate a heart attack, it is important to immediately contact a medical institution to conduct the necessary examinations and receive qualified help. Early diagnosis and treatment can greatly increase the chances of a successful cure and reduce the risk of complications.
