FEATURE: Health Tips
Coronary heart disease is America's No. 1 killer. Stroke is No. 3 and a leading cause of serious disability.
It is important to reduce your risk factors, know the warning signs, and know how to respond quickly and properly if warning signs occur.
Heart Attack Warning Signs
Some heart attacks are sudden and
intense � it is clearly a heart attack. However most heart
attacks start slowly, with mild pain or discomfort. Often it
isn't clear what's wrong and wait too long before getting help.
Here are signs that can mean a heart attack is happening:
* Chest discomfort..
* Most heart attacks involve discomfort in the center of the
chest that lasts more than a few minutes, or that goes away and
comes back.
* Uncomfortable pressure, squeezing, fullness or pain in the
chest.
* Discomfort in other areas of the upper body. Symptoms can
include pain or discomfort in one or both arms, the back, neck,
jaw or stomach.
* Shortness of breath with or without chest discomfort.
* Other signs may include breaking out in a cold sweat, nausea
or lightheadedness
As with men, women's most common heart attack symptom is chest
pain or discomfort. However, women are somewhat more likely than
men to experience some of the other common symptoms,
particularly shortness of breath, nausea/vomiting, and back or
jaw pain.
Learn the signs, but remember this: Even if you're not sure it's
a heart attack, have it checked out. Minutes matter! Fast action
can save lives � maybe your own. Don�t wait more than five
minutes to call 9-1-1.
Calling 9-1-1 is almost always the fastest way to get lifesaving
treatment.
Emergency medical services (EMS) staff can begin treatment when
they arrive � much sooner than if someone gets to the hospital
by car. They carry defibrillators also trained to revive someone
whose heart has stopped. Patients with chest pain who arrive by
ambulance usually receive faster treatment at the hospital, too.
If you can't access the emergency medical services (EMS), have
someone drive you to the hospital right away.
If you're the one having symptoms, don't drive yourself, unless you have absolutely no other option.
Stroke Warning Signs
The American Stroke Association says these
are the warning signs of stroke:
* Sudden numbness or weakness of the face, arm or leg,
especially on one side of the body
* Sudden confusion, trouble speaking or understanding
* Sudden trouble seeing in one or both eyes
* Sudden trouble walking, dizziness, loss of balance or
coordination
* Sudden, severe headache with no known cause
If you or someone with you has one or more of these signs, don't
delay! Immediately call 9-1-1 or the emergency medical services
(EMS) number so an ambulance (ideally with advanced life
support) can be sent for you. Also, check the time so you'll
know when the first symptoms appeared. It's very important to
take immediate action. If given within three hours of the start
of symptoms, a clot-busting drug can reduce long-term disability
for the most common type of stroke.
Cardiac Arrest
Cardiac arrest strikes immediately and
without warning. Here are the signs:
* Sudden loss of responsiveness (no response to tapping on
shoulders).
* No normal breathing (the victim does not take a normal breath
when you tilt the head up and check for at least five seconds).
If these signs of cardiac arrest are present, tell someone to
call 9-1-1 and get an AED (if one is available) and you begin
CPR immediately.
If you are alone with an adult who has these signs of cardiac
arrest, call 9-1-1 and get an AED (if one is available) before
you begin CPR.
Use an AED as soon as it arrives.
"There's one advantage to being 102. No peer pressure." (Dennis Wolberg)
39,700 Aboriginal seniors lived in Canada in 2001.
