      Well said. I had bad chest pain a few weeks ago, was alone, but stupid me, had my house keys up the flight of stairs n couldnt go up. Rang my friend but she got wrong keys to my house! I had to go upstairs to let her in. Ambulance came after. It wasnt a heart attack but a sudden drop of bp n glucose. But i said my goodbyes to the world. I remained calm. Now i have a spare key for front door!

    I thought i was sick, like having the flu and vomiting. Headache and fullness even tho I was vomiting. Something told me to go to ER...it was 4 in the morning...no chest pain or arm pain, alert, walking and talking. By the time I got to ER, my jaw and teeth hurt so bad.
    I was walked into ER exam room while 6 nurses stood at the nurses station gabbing (slow night in the ER). After 15 minutes i got up and went to nurses station and asked to been seen...
    Immediately diagnosed as having a heart attack and was in surgery 20 minutes later! Was in ICU for 4 days.
    Had 1 blood clot at 100% blockage RAD, 95% blockage at LAD (widow maker). Always active but diabetic.
    If something does not feel right DONT WAIT. I didnt have classic symptoms but taking action saved my life.❤ Doc says early action prevented muscle loss. Said I could climb Mt. Everest if I wanted...my comment...why would I want to do THAT? 😂

Took 22 minutes to get my heart started again . Fortunately doc was standing right next to me when I coded.

      Coughing effectively executes a Valsalva maneuver, which in turn aborts some arrhythmias.
      Both the Valsalva maneuver and coughing can be effective for some types of arrhythmias, especially those that originate above the ventricles (like atrial fibrillation or SVT). However, they are usually not effective for more dangerous arrhythmias originating in the ventricles.

I would add, if you can, put any dogs or cats in a closed room. They won’t interfere with the help that arrives nor are they at risk for running out the door as help is coming and going.

    Fore a couple of weeks prior and up to that point, she had been visiting and staying with family on a number of occasions. All the while she complained of significant back pain and general unwellness . She’d gone to see her GP, who did not investigate her issues as a possible heart issue and, thus, failed to pick up what was happening. Nor did my cousin ever consider going to the ER at her local hospital, which could have saved her life.

    had a major 1 in Feb. 2023, chest started feeling weird, shortness of breath, i fought it off for about 2hrs, then realized i needed help, drove myself to the ER…..3 stints put in next morning
    Funny thing is, at noon & with major chest pains, it too them 2hrs before they took me back & another 30mins before is saw i Dr.

      Never drive yourself to the ER when you have chest pain. Call an ambulance so you will be seen by a doctor immediately. People that walk into an ER with chest pain are not always treated as emergencies. Arriving by ambulance changes how and when you are treated.

    An emergency acupressure point to prevent a heart attack if you don’t have access to aspirin is to pinch and hold the tip of your left pinky since it is tied to the heart meridian. I learned that from the video by Sri Sri Wellbeing called “Tips to Avoid Heart Attack | Emergency Point for Heart Attack”. It’s a good acupressure point to know to be proactive so you can get the heart attack symptoms you may be experiencing under control before help arrives.

    That's all fine and dandy if you're in a house in a town or city - the title said "on your own" so I assumed it would cover what to do if you were out in the woods camping, hiking, or living alone with no cell service to call for help. What do you actually do when actually suffering the heart attack? Seems the only way to survive is to rely on others and do nothing until help arrives. If that is not an option, then what?

Food tracking apps help, it makes you realize how much you consume. I've watched more UA-cam videos than I can count; learn about the subject until you're an expert. Do you get enough vitamins and minerals? Magnesium has changed my life, I feel like a new person. Find out if you're missing these and take them, it makes a difference. ACV, Iodine, a multivitamin all organic, not synthetic. All this takes a long time to learn. Good luck.

      Hi! I am a nurse and a woman who had a heart attack 3yrs ago at 30.
      It started with substernal chest pain. I thought a soccer ball hit my chest, but as I was breast feeding, i thought it was my 9m old son hitting to find the breast.
      Over the next 12hrs, I went for a walk (foolishly) and I was severely exhausted just lifting my 9m old from car seat to stroller.
      During the walk, my left arm went numb. I immediately went to buy aspirin, took 2, and got someone to drive me to the ER.
      Got 3 stents because of blockages (100, and 90%) in two separate arteries.
      Looking back, I had weeks leading up where walking up 4 steps were work for me. I thought I just was out of shape bc gyms were closed due to Covid, and I was resting at the tail end of my pregnancy and Mat leave (c section).
      Always always always take an aspirin when in doubt. It will save your life. Carry it on hand, in your car, in your purse.

So, ambulance to a hospital with cardiologists, a day and a half full of all the heart tests...nothing wrong, no anomalies. Just chest pain and elevated troponin. Odd..but I never found out what elevated the enzyme. No problems since. 🙏

    • @life36899
      @life36899 Місяць тому

      Elevated troponin levels can occur due to a number of reasons other than a myocardial infarction (MI), including:
      Heart failure: A potential cause of elevated troponin levels in the absence of coronary obstruction
      Sepsis: A disease that can cause elevated troponin levels

      Pulmonary embolism: A condition that can cause elevated troponin levels

      Myocarditis: A cardiac disorder that can cause elevated troponin levels
      Renal failure: A condition that can cause elevated troponin levels

      Atrial fibrillation: A condition that can cause elevated troponin levels

      Myocardial contusion: A condition that can cause elevated troponin levels

      Hypovolemia: A condition that can cause elevated troponin levels

      Stroke: Some acute ischemic stroke patients have elevated troponin levels

      Chemotherapy: Chemotherapy can cause cardiotoxicity, which can lead to elevated troponin levels

      Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD): Patients with COPD can experience troponin elevation
      Elevated troponin levels can also be caused by false positives, which are often associated with fibrin clots, heterophile antibodies, alkaline phosphatase, and rheumatoid factor.
      These are some things you can discount and some things you can further investigate with your doctor.

Luckily she also had a doctor's appointment the next morning and when she told the doctor her symptoms he immediately checked her into the hospital...mild heart attack and severe stress were diagnosed.

Who sent her home with naproxen well by then one of the blood clots the size of a grapefruit they said stuck on her kidney and damaged it we ended up taking her to another hosp and thank God that’s where we found out about the blood clots and the one on her kidney so what I’m saying is Dr Mandel we don’t have much help here in our town and many r dying thank u and may God bless u and help u to walk with the Lord Jesus and not to be blinded in any way but continue to follow the Lord and help poor souls like me❤❤❤

    This just happened to me in late August 2024. I was on the job and working alone when my chest began to hurt, my left arm went numb and my shoulders and jaw got very tight. Two stents later I'm ok and feeling much better, but damn what a scary wake up call I got. Thank you for this video.

    My dad was in his 50's, had a heart attack without knowing it. He was a truck driver and somewhere in or around Paris. He didn't feel well, back of his shoulders/his back caused him some aggravation, he called his boss he was coming home, unfortunately sick. So he drove to Amsterdam and actually right to the hospital there as he really felt like shite. He went in and he was placed in a bed immediately and needed several bypasses. When the doctor heard he drove his truck from Paris to Amsterdam he said my father had had an angel sitting on his shoulder during that drive back.
    For the rest of his life he was on medication after this but he made it.

    Every symptom he mentioned I’ve had so how do I know if it’s a heart attack or not?

    But what to do if you’re living alone with a dog?? I just had an accident at home, broke my ankle, had horrible pain, couldn’t get up anymore, barely found my phone to call an ambulance!
    My small dog tried to defend me when first responders had to touch me and we had to lock him in the bathroom!
    Then we had to leave the dog alone at home! I don’t know anyone who can take care of the dog. I found someone who took him out for short walks every day but he was alone every night for 2 weeks!
    As I have heart issues as well, I really don’t know what to do with the dog, if something happens again???

    I have also heard that making yourself cough every 20 seconds or so helps a lot! Is this true?

    I had no symptoms,no pain,no pressure,I just couldn’t get comfortable. I called an ambulance and ended up with a triple bypass.

    A few other things that can save you are coughing as hard as you can repeatedly from the diaphragm. This helps the heart contract easier and should be done until help arrives. Cayenne pepper in liquid form can stop a heart attack also

    Drink a lot of alcohol at once? I found that works on chest pains, they may get worse for a little bit but alcohol cures everything as far as I know.
    edit: Not joking, it is the only thing that makes me feel better.
