News Topical, Digital Desk : These days, cases of heart-related problems are increasing rapidly. Lifestyles have changed significantly, and as a result, health-related problems are increasingly affecting people. Heart disease has become a topic of concern for some time now.
This disease, which previously affected the elderly, is now affecting young people and even children. Heart attacks are the most common and dangerous heart disease. When it comes to its symptoms, chest pain is often the first and most prominent symptom. Although people often dismiss it as bloating, gas, or indigestion, it may not be a digestive problem but rather the beginning of heart disease.
How to differentiate between gas and a heart attack
Very few people know how to differentiate between a heart attack and gas. Doctors say that gas is a common problem in India, and therefore, people often cannot distinguish between a heart attack and gas. People often experience bloating without chest pain, assuming it's just gas. However, these symptoms can also mimic those of a heart attack.
Do not ignore heaviness in the stomach
He further stated that it's important not to ignore such symptoms. If you experience these symptoms persistently, you should immediately consult a heart specialist. Often, symptoms such as chest heaviness, belching, or bloating can be signs of a silent heart attack, especially in older women or those with long-term high blood pressure.
Symptoms of a silent heart attack
Doctors say that gas and indigestion aren't usually a problem, but if they're persistent and frequent, don't ignore them. They also say that a silent heart attack doesn't cause severe chest pain, but rather, mild discomfort, bloating, or an unusual heaviness in the chest may be felt. In such cases, a timely medical checkup can help save lives.
