I am a female over 65. I am working on lowering my cholestral. My blood pressure recently became elevated as well. The results of a cardiac cath showed only that I have a moderate regurgitation of the mitral valve. I want to do whatever I can to maintain heart health. This article is a reminder for me to keep a watch on both issues.

Discomfort felt in areas like abdomen, shoulders, upper portion of the back, jaw and neck. Succinctness in breathing or one feels as though one is not able to get ample air. This briefness of breath mostly would be felt prior to or alongside chest pains or discomforting sensation. Feeling nauseous or puking, perspiration. Feeling lightheaded or dizzy. Atypical feeling of weariness, heartburn. Lost craving for food, Cardiac flutter and coughing are the symptoms which are prominently seen. http://www.womenhealthcenter.net/womens-heart-disease.html

In the cases of heart attack and cardiac arrest, or any other heart shocks, time sets to be the most crucial factor for the survival of the patient. Sometimes, a little knowledge regarding the immediate actions to be taken may help your near and dear ones to survive in such incidents. The response a person takes to treat a victim decides the probability of his/her survival. Its been my personal experience fighting to survive against a heart attack. A quick reorganization of your bodily responses may increase your chances of survival. Because of having many heart problems, I was enrolled in a concierge Healthcare program from elite health. I was attacked by a severe heart attack in a party, luckily surrounded by many people. Some of the sudden changes in my body was recognized by me and anticipated immediately. I got a very severe chest pain which was almost unbearable for more than a minute. I got the suspicion that I might be having heart attack, and immediately called my physician on the phone, and explained my condition and its severity. Because of the immediate guidance, I was directed immediately to have an aspirin which I used to carry with me as prescribed by my physician. It was quite a frightening experience for me to face such a heart attack, but somehow I managed to be calm until 911 arrived. I was immediately taken to the nearest hospital, where already my physician were present and have got everything setup according to my medical history. And it was in some matter of seconds that everything was in control. A doctor, who already have the complete knowledge of the medical history and fitness of the person, extra ordinarily ameliorate your recovery process. Hence such a concierge level program from Elite health, helped me a save my life, like many others.
