Hello Steemit friends,
how are you all? I hope you are all well by the grace of Allah. I am also fine by the grace of Allah.Today, I will participate in the new contest from Healthy Steem brought by the honorable Moderator @ahsansharif bro. The name of the Contest is "Heart Attack | Share Insights on Heart Attacks.". Thank you Healthy Steem for bringing this beautiful contest to us.
What is Heart Attack?
Heart attack is called a fatal disease. Blood supply is everywhere in our body. The disease that occurs when the supply of oxygen-rich blood to any part of the heart muscle is stopped for a long time for some reason is called a heart attack. Heart attack is a serious disease. This disease can lead to death. Usually, heart attack occurs due to high cholesterol, smoking, diabetes, and psychological stress. If this disease occurs, you should seek the advice of a specialist doctor at the hospital on an urgent basis.
What are the three symptoms of heart attack explain it.
Heart attack is a terrible serious disease. This complex disease can occur due to various reasons. I am briefly describing three causes of heart attack.
Psychological stress.
We are almost always under psychological stress due to family, economic and social reasons. This psychological stress also has the potential to cause a heart attack.
Psychological stress, which we often know as stress, increases the heart rate due to various reasons, hormones like adrenaline and cortisol constrict the blood vessels, which increases blood pressure.
Severe episodes of high blood pressure damage the blood vessels, which makes them stiff and increases the risk of rupture. This results in a heart attack.
Smoking: -
Smoking is one of the important factors in heart attack. People who smoke are more prone to heart attack. Cigarette smoke contains various chemicals such as nicotine, carbon dioxide, etc. They damage the endothelium of the blood vessels, making it easier for cholesterol and other harmful substances to stick to the walls of the blood vessels. This constant movement leads to a condition where the arteries become narrowed or blocked, reducing blood flow to the heart and causing a heart attack.
Shortness of breath: -
Shortness of breath does not directly cause a heart attack. But it increases the risk of a heart attack. Shortness of breath is often a symptom of coronary artery disease (CAD) or heart failure. When shortness of breath occurs, the heart's ability to pump blood effectively decreases. It becomes difficult to breathe, forcing the body to work harder to meet its needs, and increasing the risk of a heart attack.
How does smoking affect heart attack?
Smoking promotes heart attacks. Heart attacks are increasing significantly due to smoking. Let us briefly describe the effect of smoking on heart attacks.
- Various chemicals in cigarettes damage the inner lining of blood vessels. This helps in the formation of plaque in the arteries.
Over time, this leads to atherosclerosis. The arteries become narrowed and hardened. The blood flow to the arteries is restricted and sometimes the blood supply is blocked, resulting in heart attacks. - Smoking makes blood platelets stickier and encourages the formation of clots. Due to this, the blood supply to the body's arteries decreases, creating a situation of heart attacks.
- Carbon monoxide in cigarette smoke binds to the hemoglobin of red blood cells more quickly than oxygen, which reduces the amount of oxygen transported in the blood. This results in increased pressure on the ribcage while breathing and can lead to a heart attack.

Tell me a story about a heart attack that happened to you or someone you know.
A few months ago, I had a heart attack. I woke up late at night with a sudden pain in the left side of my chest. The pain was so severe that I could not explain it in words. Even if I moved my upper body slightly, I felt severe pain. As per the advice of a pharmacist I knew, I was quickly admitted to the hospital emergency room. They let me get some tests done. After seeing the test reports, they asked me to make an appointment with a cardiologist.
I am undergoing treatment under the supervision of the best cardiologist in the country. The doctor said that a block had formed in my heart. He asked me to follow several rules and also to take several medicines.
I am now feeling much better, Alhamdulillah. And I am following my doctor's advice, starting with eating and managing everything.
***After the heart attack I admit the hospital and do several tests ***
I would like to invite three of my friends:-
