Dr Manjinder Sandhu explain signs of heart attack, you shouldn't ignore

Dr Manjinder Sandhu, Medical Director & Director Cardiology, at Artemis Hospitals Gurgaon explains 8 early heart attack signs you shouldn't ignore.

Symptoms explain by Artemis Hospital :

Pain or uneasiness in the chest --- Discomfort in the chest is apparently the most common sign that something is wrong with the heart's functioning. The signs mainly show in the form of a sensation of pressure, tightness or squeezing in the centre of your chest. Also known as angina, this pain is often accompanied by palpitations (feeling like your heart is beating too fast or irregularly). 

Pain that spreads to the arm --- Experiencing constant pain that starts from the chest and spreads to the arm is yet another common symptom of an impending heart attack. 

Difficulty in breathing while sleeping --- Snoring a little while sleeping is considered to be normal. However, problem escalates when a person has major difficulty in breathing while sleeping. It has a direct relationship with extra stress being put on the heart, says Dr Manjinder Sandhu. 

Dizziness and fatigue --- A feeling of dizziness and fatigue experienced quite often can turn out to be major cause of concern. It is a common sign of a heart problem that your body keeps sending, which you must not ignore. 

Profuse sweating --- Breaking out in heavy sweat without any physical activity is often a sign of a looming heart problem. 

Persistent cough --- Though, in majority of the cases, coughing is not a sign of heart problem. However, persistent cough accompanied with pink/white mucus indicates that you need to pay attention to your heart’s health. The experienced medics at Artemis Hospital, Gurgaon believe that this mainly happens when the heart forces blood back into the lungs. 

Swelling in ankles, feet and hands --- Swollen ankles, feet and hands often indicate a heart problem. This usually occurs when your heart is not able to pump blood effectively. Don't ignore it! 

Jaw/throat pain --- Discomfort or pain arising at the centre of chest that spreads up to the throat or jaw can also be a symptom of a heart problem.

The severity of heart problems makes it important to keep a check on these symptoms. It is equally important to know that a healthy heart always stays in a healthy body.

Artemis Special Child Centre

The team of doctors at Artemis Hospital Special Child Centre works towards achieving the maximum potential in children with special needs. The centre is known for its Neurodevelopment Therapy (NDT) and Sensory integration/processing therapy. The neurodevelopment therapy works on the age appropriate activities the child cannot perform, such as walking with a bag, writing with a pencil or daily activities like brushing, bathing or dressing up. On the other hand, the sensory integration/processing therapy is aimed at helping children ‘make sense’ of the world around them. The therapy encourages the child to develop flexibility, functional vision, sensory processing, postural control and alignment, speech and language, attention span and social interaction among other things.

Special Child Centre at Artemis Hospital Gurgaon offers services like sensory diet (a carefully planned program of sensory motor activities to improve attention, eye contact and focus of the child), handwriting training (use of adjuncts like grippers to help the child write), auditory integration (to help the child filter important information) and nutrition OPD (diet plans designed specifically to promote the physical and mental growth of the child).
Child care specialists at Artemis Hospital Special Child Centre are skilled at early detection and early intervention. They are the most dependable team if a child is showing delay in milestones, faces difficulty in eating, walking, speaking or performing age-appropriate activities, or has issues with vision and find it hard to copy from the blackboard. The centre could also be contacted if a child is suffering from conditions like AUTISM, Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder, Cerebral Palsy, Learning disorders, Torticollis and neurogenic problems like Polio.
Every child is gifted. They just unwrap their packages in different ways and at different times. Differently-abled children are special. Child care experts at Artemis Hospital strive to give them the special treatment that they deserve.
