Silent Heart Attack is more dangerous than a common heart attack, it becomes difficult to recognize the symptoms

News Topical, Digital Desk : In today's busy life, people are not able to take proper care of their health. Due to bad eating habits and unhealthy lifestyle, the risk of many diseases is also increasing. Obesity, diabetes and heart disease have become common. Talking about heart attack, earlier it was seen only in the elderly, but now this problem is being seen in younger people as well.

Everyone talks about normal heart attacks, but people do not know much about silent heart attacks. When a silent heart attack occurs, the person in front does not even get a clue. It is also called myocardial infarction. Our article today is also on this topic. We are going to give you detailed information about silent heart attack. 

What is a silent heart attack?

There are no symptoms in a silent heart attack, like the ones seen in a normal heart attack. Sometimes its symptoms are mild or such that people do not associate it with a heart attack. This is why it becomes difficult to identify it. But it also causes as much harm as a normal heart attack. Many times people do not even know that they have had a heart attack. Often it is known after weeks or months through tests.

Let us tell you that a heart attack occurs when blood and oxygen are not able to reach the heart properly. In most cases, this happens due to the formation of a blood clot in the coronary arteries. In some cases, blood flow can also stop due to spasm or injury in the veins. A heart attack can happen anytime, during the day or while sleeping. This can also happen when you are suddenly under a lot of stress or are doing a heavy workout.

Symptoms of a Silent Heart Attack

Usually, a heart attack causes severe chest pain, which does not stop even after resting or taking medicine. But  in a silent heart attack,  the symptoms are mild or do not occur at all. Because of this, people are unable to understand that they have had a heart attack. Its symptoms sometimes seem like this-

• Like you have the flu.
• Muscle pain in the chest or upper back.
• Pain in the jaw, arms, or upper back.
• Very tired.
• Feeling indigestion.

Symptoms of a normal heart attack

• chest pain that lasts for several minutes
• Difficulty in breathing
• Dizziness
• lightheadedness
• Breaking out in cold sweats
• Nausea or vomiting
• being tired without reason

Why does silent heart attack happen?

The biggest reason for this is coronary artery disease. In this, a layer of cholesterol i.e. plaque gets deposited in the blood vessels, which makes the blood path thick. If a blood clot forms on it, then the blood circulation stops completely. If treatment is not received on time, then the heart muscles can also get damaged.

Which people are more at risk?

• being overweight
• not exercising
• High blood pressure
