THE NEGLECTED PEARL FOR ADAM
CHAPTER 59. ORDER YOUR DOCTOR TO KEEP YOUR HEART ATTACK FROM RECURRING

Papa Hendrawan is in the care of the Doctor and fortunately his condition is not too bad until all feel relieved.

But the doctor advised not to burden Papa Hendrawan's mind with heavy things.

As much as possible the Doctor suggested that Papa retire from the business world. And the family must be able to maintain Papa's emotional stability, keep him away from emotional stress or stress that can cause repeated heart attacks.

The doctor explained the symptoms of repeated heart attacks to the Sultan, the King and also the mother.

Not everyone has the same symptoms when they have a heart attack.

About 2 out of every 3 people who have a heart attack experience chest pain, shortness of breath, or feel tired days or weeks before the attack.

When having a heart attack, a person may feel pain in the middle of the chest that can radiate to the back, jaw, or arm. Sometimes the pain is felt in the abdominal area, which is often considered a digestive disorder. The pain is like angina or temporary chest pain, but is usually more severe, lasts longer, and does not improve even after resting or taking nitroglycerin pills.

About 1 in every 3 people who have a heart attack does not feel chest pain. These men were mostly women, older than 75, had a history of heart failure or diabetes, and had had had a stroke.

Other common symptoms include:

Fainted

Suddenly cold sweat appeared

Nauseous

Shortness of breath, especially in the elderly

Heavy heart rate

Abnormal heart rhythm (arrhythmia), this occurs in more than 90% of people who have had a heart attack

Loss of consciousness, which is sometimes the first symptom of a heart attack

Feelings of restlessness, sweating, and anxiety.

Bluish on the lips, hands, or feet

Older people may have symptoms that resemble those of a stroke and may experience disorientation.

Repeated heart attacks are caused because there is still a disruption in the blood vessels.

This disorder must be eliminated if you do not want to be attacked again. Some of the following can increase the risk of having a recurrent heart attack :

The inactive lifestyle

Excess weight or obesity

High cholesterol

High blood sugar if you have diabetes

High blood pressure

Smoking

Too much stress

Heavy alcohol use or illegal drug use

When you first have a heart attack, the patient will undergo treatment based on the trigger of the attack. Sometimes patients must be given a stent or heart ring to reopen the narrowed or blocked blood vessels so that blood flow back smoothly.

If the patient then experiences chest pain again, the doctor will make a diagnosis by checking the condition of the heart ring. Generally, the ring can last in the long run. But it is not closed the possibility of blockage again so that it again brings the risk of recurrent heart attacks.

Treatment of recurrent heart attacks by means of cardiac rehabilitation for patients who have previously had a heart attack.

In this program, patients will receive training developed by a physiologist and supervised by a cardiologist. There are usually four phases:

Phase 1: Walk as soon as possible after a heart attack, often within 24 hours

Phase 2: Regularly monitored exercise sessions that use a treadmill or static bike with increased duration and intensity

Phase 3: Exercise sessions with less monitoring

Phase 4: Unsupervised self-training (at home)

This program is also often accompanied by therapy aimed at keeping the patient mentally healthy and avoid excessive worry that can lead to depression.

There are several recommendations from the association of heart specialists to reduce the risk of a second heart attack:

The risk of having another heart attack will be reduced by at least 50 percent by quitting smoking.

Eat foods that nourish the heart

By reducing saturated fat and trans fat, we can lower levels of cholesterol and triglycerides, one of the main substances that cause heart attacks.

Control cholesterol

In addition to consuming foods that nourish the heart, we can control cholesterol by implementing an active lifestyle. If necessary the doctor will prescribe cholesterol-lowering drugs such as statins.

Exercise regularly Exercise is important because it strengthens the heart muscle, increases energy, and helps control weight, cholesterol, and blood pressure.

Maintain a healthy weight Obesity greatly increases the risk of repeated heart attacks.

Control high blood pressure Follow your doctor's advice so that blood pressure is maintained remains normal. If necessary, take the medicine according to the doctor's prescription.

Take medication as directed

8.Control of blood sugar

Lowering blood sugar to normal levels can reduce inflammation and damage to the coronary arteries.

Stop taking alcohol and illegal drugs

Then the doctor said again that based on data from WHO (World health agency), 17.9 million people in the world die every year from heart disease (cardiovascular), caused by blockage of blood vessels.

In fact, there are many cases where artists around the world can suddenly die suddenly. That's because heart disease is the number 1 killer in Indonesia and the world.

The number of deaths from heart disease is much higher than stroke and diabetes.

And death from heart disease knows no age, young or old can be a target.

Anyone can get heart disease, especially coronary heart disease and swollen heart.

Death from a heart attack can occur when blood vessels are blocked by plaques or fat that attach to the walls of blood vessels. Swollen heart is also caused by narrowed blood vessels.

As we know, the main function of the heart is to pump blood throughout the body to ensure our survival. The heart can flow more than 14,000 liters of blood per day throughout the body.

What happens when the blood vessels are blocked? The answer is that the person will die suddenly.

Because the blood vessels can not drain the blood needed by the heart to be pumped back to all other organs of the body.

The main cause of blood vessel blockage is the habit of consuming foods that are too much fat (oil, fried, red meat, etc.) and high-sugar foods.

So that these fats get into the blood and can get into the walls of the blood vessels, which causes blood vessels to narrow and clog.

Clogged blood vessels can be likened: sewers whose channels are blocked because of water impurities attached to the sewer wall.

So Deck, Mom, what I explain this please remember and note if you do not want a repeat attack against Mr. Hendrawan and please be a concern for all of us to maintain health in order to avoid deadly diseases number 1 in the world.
