Heart Talk Show India - Is it a Gastric Pain Or A Heart Attack


Since large meals are often part of celebrating, it’s easy to overdo it on special occasions. If you’ve just eaten a big meal & you feel a burning sensation in your chest, you might think it is a gastric pain, it can might be.
However, there is a chance that this chest pain could be caused by reduced blood flow to your heart (angina), or an actual heart attack.
There are a lot of heart attacks happening where patients & their relatives have mistaken it as a gastric pain, neglected it & died.
There can be other symptoms too like
  • Pain in the lower jaw,
  • Back Pain
  • Pain Radiating to right side of chest
  • Excessive Sweating
But some misinterpret these symptoms with Gastric pain & start drinking water, Eno etc in which they waste their 2 to 3 hours.
Because as immediate as your treatment begins, it will be more beneficial for long term effects. If your treatment begins within 1 hr, recovery is fast. But if you reach hospital after 12hrs of getting attacks, recovery is not good in that case.
How can you differentiate between the two?
If you do physical exercise like climbing stairs, walking etc if intensity of pain increases it is Heart attack symptoms. If pain is relieved by walking, it is a Gastric pain
So it is important to create awareness regarding Heart attacks as 90% people do not know what ACTUALLY are the signs & symptoms of Heart attack.

Heart Talk Show India - RECOGNIZE PRE HEART ATTACK SYMPTOMS AS EACH MINUTE MATTERS



Recognizing heart attack signs quickly could one day save your life as each minute is critical with heart problems. Beware that a heart attack does not always come with chest – crushing pain especially in women

Pre-attack symptoms
1.Chest Discomfort
If you have a blocked artery or are having a heart attack, you may feel pain, tightness, or pressure in your chest.
But People often dismiss these warning signs, thinking they merely have heartburn or a pulled muscle
The unfortunate conclusion is that many people wait too long before getting help.

2.Nausea, Indigestion, Heartburn, or Stomach Pain

 Women are more likely to report this type of symptom than men are.

You can have an upset stomach for many reasons that have nothing to do with your heart. It     could just be something you ate, after all. But you need to be aware that it can also happen during a heart attack.
3. Pain that Spreads to the Arm
Another classic heart attack symptom is pain that radiates down the left side of the body.
It starts from the chest & moves outward.
4. You Feel Dizzy or Lightheaded
A lot of things can make you lose your balance or feel faint for a moment. Maybe you didn’t have enough to eat or drink, or you stood up too fast.
But it could mean that your blood pressure has dropped as your heart isn’t able to pump the way it should.
5. Throat or Jaw Pain
 If you have pain or pressure in the center of your chest that spreads up into your throat or jaw, it could be a sign of a heart attack. 

6. You Get Exhausted Easily

If you suddenly feel fatigued or winded after doing something you had no problem doing in the past -- like climbing the stairs or carrying groceries from the car ,extreme exhaustion or unexplained weakness make an appointment with your doctor right away.

7. Sweating

Breaking out in a cold sweat for no obvious reason could signal a heart attack

8. Irregular Heart Beat

It's normal for your heart to race when you are nervous or excited or to skip or add a beat once in a while.
But if you feel like your heart is beating out of time for more than just a few seconds, or if it happens often, tell your doctor.
