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!
@@BuckeerM but I am! I have been a carer since i was 6 yrs old but now i am alone, i failed myself. I must admit, it came on suddenly n unexpectedly. I always bring house keys downstairs, but this particular morning at 5.30am, i woke up feeling off n i guess not thinking straight. I have remedied the error of that day now n so has my friend 🤣. God bless you.
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? 😂
I was in same boat as you, got my landlord to drive me to ER and from that point on have no memory until 2 weeks later when I woke up with paddle burns on my chest and big scabs on my knees ( I apparently tried to fight my way out of hospital after being revived) . Took 22 minutes to get my heart started again . Fortunately doc was standing right next to me when I coded. All I remember is I didn't feel right, and needed to go to ER. Trust your gut
@@OkayKay777 well then I guess we have that in common because I'm glad too 😁 It was 14 months ago, I'm back to riding dirt bike every day and feel pretty blessed.
I had a heart attack in the late 80s but didn’t realize it nor went to the hospital : I just continued working . Over 20 years later I had a treadmill test with the die and X-ray exam. The Doctor told me that she could see where I had a heart attack. I told her I never had a heart attack but then I remembered that couple seconds of terrible pain in my chest years earlier. Always get checked out : you never know
That happened to my father who was just chatting to some paramedics who hooked him up to an ECG to demonstrate the workings. Sure enough my dad went to the doctors who corroborated it and took action. The modern heart surgeon goes up the big artery in the leg to perform some surgical procedure. No need to rip open the rib cage like the olden days.he lived to 92
Cough! MY ex was in NM alone in semi. He smoked a cigarettes and he was COUGHING. The Dr told him the coughing was what saved his life. It got his heart to pumping again
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 took a CPR class at the high school, in the evening, years ago. Our society is lacking much right now. Let's turn it all around for good. We CAN do it.
My heart attack symptom was discomfort in my abdomen only, not pain exactly just a weird feeling that gradually was getting stronger. After 30 minutes was taken to emergency room, and was having a heart attack. Just wanted to post this to let everone know that sometimes you can have different kinds of symptoms than the ones you usually hear about. Don't wait. I had 95% blockage in artery needed a stent.
An important item I heard which didn’t even occur to me but makes perfect sense is when calling 911, go unlock your front door or apartment door to allow easy access for first responders. 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.
as long as you let someone know they are there, if you get taken to hospital and die they'll be left to die of starvation! we all need an emergency instruction pack for family or neighbours.
Can't do that here in South Africa unfortunately because 1) The chances of anyone actually answering our emergency number, 10111, are slim. 2) If you leave your door open the EMT's will be walking into a house devoid of any furniture.
As a paramedic for 15 years, I would say in addition to calling 911 go unlock your front door. You wouldn’t believe how many people forget about that and we get on scene and then they are immobile or unconscious, and we cannot access their residence without forceful entrycosting valuable minutes. Also, even during the daytime it’s helpful if you turn your porch light on it will help the emergency responders. Identify your house.
I just bought some chewable aspirin to keep on hand. I am 75 and have high blood pressure. My grandfather dies of a heart attack. I will keep this aspirin on my desk. Thanks for this reminder.
MY sister died of a heart attack in 2014. She was only 35 years old and an Air Force veteran. Sadly she drove herself to the hospital. Rest in peace sister. Love you. Miss you. Rest easy until we meet again. Praise God. Amen.
I foolishly drove to the hospital too. Shortly after I got into my room, I flat-lined and was resusitated with pressure paddles. I survived after having triple bypass surgery.
My 61 year old cousin passed away alone in her home from heart failure. She wouldn’t answer her phone or door, so after day 3 they got the building manager to open the door to her apartment, where she was found dead lying on her bed with her dog sitting steadfast by her side not budging. 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. She was a single mum who had a daughter later in life. Her daughter is in her very early 20s. It’s very sad.
I had other health problem, be in the GP and hostipal few times, one CT scan, one operation for gallbladder remove in 3 years, duing those time some how miss out the long team heart problem until I had a cardiac arrest almost lost my life last years.
In case you don't have Aspirin at hand, taking Cayenne Pepper with a little water may also help prevent a heart attack by promoting blood flow effectively through the circulatory system. It has a mild blood-thinning action
Also, not everyone can take aspirin. In addition to cayenne, garlic also has a blood-thinning action; I use it regularly because I like it, but that's a nice side benefit.
I would guess more people have aspirin than have cayenne pepper. If you are over 40 and especially if you are male have aspirin nearby. in fact take a baby aspirin every day to have more days.
I can never thank you for doing this video because we singletons are ALWAYS FORGOTTEN by the healthcare agencies that teach these procedures and assume everyone is part of a couple! They also NEVER teach singletons how to deal with a choking episode - which I experienced a few years ago and it's bloody terrifying!!! Very good of you to acknowledge that single people actually exist. NHS, St John's Ambulance et al - take note!!!
@@Carsworld76God will always make u stronger. Have not heard one but feeling symptoms of chest pain, heaviness in chest and palpitations and my doctor gave me Weltek cardio, plavix and losartan 12.5mg. Thou
Dr. Mandell, thank you for this content. I had a heart attack in 2016 and was shocked because I didn't have pain in the left arm, only to find out that many women do not. You gave symptoms that both genders experience.
Just pant. Tiny short breaths to breathe in. Took awhile but I was slowly able to take a bit more air in. I was totally exhausted afterwards. Your body works really hard trying to survive during this time. ❤
I'm 62 and I listen to this doctor. My mom died last year of a 'sudden coronary event' then my cousin (63) dropped dead in the middle of a phone call. I had a doctor check my heart pronto. My mom starved herself and my cousin smoked like a house afire. I didn't take a chance, I had tests done. I was 209 lbs, I've got down to 163 lbs and a goal weight of 145. I'm not retiring as a broken down old hag.
@yeesh9215 I'm sorry this took a while. I see an endocrinologist. Walking, walking, walking! Try some intermittent fasting too. Eat as much organic as you can, processed food and sugar is the devil and so evil! American food is poison. I jest, but not really. Fat is not an enemy unless you combine it with sugar. 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.
I carry cayenne pepper with me. It' works so fast! Right as soon as I sprinkle a little on my tongue, my chest pressure goes away!!! It has saved many lives. Plus, it's made by God! Also, coughing really hard works too!
@@okolocunningham532 I am glad you do. I bought some tiny glass containers from the Dollar Tree. You get five 0.16 fl oz with a metal screw cap. You can save your life or someone else's.
@@candybutler1955 It will save your life as well as others. Look up Barbara O'Neill on UA-cam. She is deceased, I've heard. Probably murdered. So she does not have a Facebook page, though there are many of them in her name. She was a brilliant woman. She lived with indigenous people for 12 years and had all her children (naturally, 9 kids?) while living with them.
Thanks for the comment on cayenne pepper. I take about a 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper in 6 or 8 ounces of water once or twice a day. Helps with blood flow and artery health.
To everyone reading this Keep going. No matter how stuck you feel, no matter how bad things are right now, no matter how hopeless & depressed you feel, no matter how many days you have spent wishing things were different. I promise you won't feel this way forever. Keep going..🙏Bless my day with a follower.🤲🏼 it could mean a lot ❤️
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.
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?
thank you for this, its important people know this, i had the widow maker and survived because of these steps. i now have two stents and a 70 percent blockage in another artery. i just watched the berry vid yu have . as soon as i can i am getting some to help my heart health
You need to schedule an appointment with your cardiologist to discuss your symptoms. During this visit, you should undergo testing for atrial fibrillation (Afib) to determine if this condition is affecting your heart. Early diagnosis and management are crucial for your heart health, so don’t delay in seeking this evaluation.
You should talk more about silent heart attacks. These are attacks that you dont even know your having. I went undiagnosed for 6 months having many silent heart attacks. Went to the doctors. They did EKGs. They took xrays and concluded that my back pain must just be arthritis or muscle strain. Finally, 6 months later, when the pain finally reached my chest, I called 911 and went to the ER. There they recommended I go to the Cardiac center where they can use a dye to detect the problem. Only way to detect it. It was a blocked artery. Normal EKGs didnt detect it. Enzymes were only slightly elevated. If you have a back pain, located right behind the heart, get that checked out.
I have Station House 6, 2blocks away from my house & they have many times saved my life codiosnStation house 6 paramedics. Many thanks. Truly appreciated!!! Pam from Dundalk MD. Also your videos are on the money. Thanks Dr.”
I’m not too unhealthy but this is the one thing that scare me. So much so that I feel like I am afraid to take solo trips for fear of dying away from my family. Thank you for providing this important information. You are the true definition of a healer. THANK YOU! I shared your channel with my family.
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.
We need more people like this telling us truth! Just finished reading The 23 Former Doctor Truths by Lauren Clark. Its fascinating what they hide from society.
Yes, in the late 1960s, the doctor advised his patient to use Fleishmans corn oil margarine. Turns out butter is the thing to use!! Dad should have lived past 56! Those liars! Vitamin K needed to survive. I think it's in the butter. Truth is coming out, everywhere! Thankful for that.
Thank you so much Dr. Mandell for sharing this helpful info. I thank and praise Jesus for blessing me to see your videos. May God bless you and your family.✝️🙏🏾
My brother saved his friend's life a couple of nights ago...she was complaining of chest pain, hard to breathe, pain in her arm...he told her to chew some high dosage asprin and she said she felt a lot better right away...she did the same the next morning when the symptoms came back. 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. She's staying a few days in a private room with low lighting, soothing music and total rest. Chewing high-dosage asprin is a must for anyone experiencing heart attack symptoms until you get to the hospital!
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.
I also heard that you should cough very hard when experiencing symptoms or having a heart attack. It does something to improve blood flow by forcing, I think, the heart to pump blood through blocked arteries, I believe it was. I saw this years ago, could be wrong, of course.
Yessss, I’ve heard this too, to start coughing hard!! AND to take some chewable aspirin, I keep these chewable aspirin on hand at all times! Thanks for the reminder too!
That’s an option. 2 other options that a cardiologist told me was 1) hold my breath, keep it in while trying to blow it out and giving yourself a bear hug. 2) literally gag yourself with a spoon. I don’t like the gag reflex so i do the breath and hug technique and it works.
High Lipoprotein A - 335 - genetics - and the Doc told me it was acid reflux. Post heart attack I was unaware of, I took 2 aspirin after the gastro tablets didnt work. Ran to the bus stop and drove myself to hospital. Thanks for this helpful vid.
I had been in the hospital. The night I came home, at 2:30 in the AM, there was the elephant sitting on my chest, Worst pain ever. I sat on the side of the bed, took my pulse, blood pressure, Tempature, all normal, so I thought it can't be a heart attack. I got up and went and laid on the couch and fell asleep. When I woke up, you would have thought I had stood in the shower with my pajamas on. I felt fine. I obviously had a heart attack. Never went back to hospital or really told anyone. That was 10 years ago.
God was watching over you that night.😁 But go to the doctor if you can, even though I can understand some folks have an intense fear of he medical field. At the very least always have some aspirin around.
My solo was chest pain, SOB, then nausea and sweats. 3 stents including LAD, I am eternally grateful for the medics and the Docs. Don't wonder, don't fuck around - you cannot make the diagnosis. Call emergency and sit on your front porch. Breathe.
Thank you as always Dr. Mandell. Can you please post a video regarding women's symptoms of heart attack? I know that they may present very differently.
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.
@kareemai1403 have a question ... what test shows blockages?? .. I've had only blood tests done, and they say you look good and fit bloodbwork is good so nothing wrong. Just go home ... frustrating
@@chevygirl69the test is horrible. They inject a radioactive dye in you where under special equipment they can see the blood flow in every artery and vein in your body.
@@chevygirl69 They stuck a camera on the end of a long wire or something up an artery in my arm at the wrist to check for blockages. I could feel it in my heart 😬
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. Oh well, doing great so far, back to work after missing 10days Basically, shortness of breath would be my 1st indicator & weirdness of chest
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.
@@dannysgirl1549 There is no excuse for when a 61-year-old man walks into an ER and says he has shortness of breath and chest pains not to be seen right away I was easily capable to drive myself there so no reason to take up an ambulance which could be used for a dire emergency?
A couple years ago i had chest pain that didn't go away. (female) My daughter took me to an ER, and they said I was having a heart attack based on the troponin level in my blood. 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. 🙏
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.
Depends on how you want to go out. My mom was 94 when she awoke confused and feeling ill.. Her care facilitator took her to her doctor who said she had had a heart attack and called an ambualnce. She died late that afternoon with only my sister-in- law there. Mom had all the advanced dirrective stuff including dedicating her body to sciense. One call to Loma Linda and they came and got her and issued the death certificate. Zero cost. Great family memorial at Bass Lake.
Thankyou for reaffirming what knowledge I already have. My Mum, rest her soul, and Dad both had/have heart failure/disease. Great short videos like this save lives, thanks, Dr Mandell.😊
I don't understand how a heart attack victim could miss it's killing onslaught. It dropped me in my tracks, I knew immediately this was a heart attack and I was dying. I think you've greatly minimized the symptoms of an attack in process. Now if you will explain the symptoms leading up to the attack it would be very useful. I had a number of symptoms and was in denial about them. Because of the damage, even with the bypass, Doctors said i'd probably have 7 years left, that was 34 years ago because I did every life change they told me to make to the letter.
I am going to order asprin today...I remember my grandpa had aspirin in his kitchen cabinet by the sink, he had heart troubles and he did pass with a heart attack alone 😔
Sorry to hear about your grandfather. Also consider cayenne pepper. Dr. Mandell, and Barbara O'Reilly both hav videos on its health benefits for arteries and blood flow.
I was walking my dog alone in the woods when suddenly I could not breath. I got the dog back to the car and drove home. My wife called the emergency services and I was transported to hospital. I had no chest pains, no pain radiating down my arms, just breathless and sweating. A month or so later I developed pericarditis, that was painful. The stent operation failed and I am now “medically managed”. I carry emergency several aspirin in a medical key ring and carry my heart spray when out. All my arteries are 100% clear except the one that caused the heart attack.
The amount of times I thought I was having a heart attack because of "tightness or pain in the chest" that just turned out to be indigestion, or gas. I really wish there was a better way to know.
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
Sitting on the with your back to the wall and your knees up is sound advice too. If you pass out, you don't hurt yourself falling. Don't seat on a chair or sofa
Some people do not want anything done, and that is ok, but it is important that your family and doctor understand this. I don't want anything done that would prolong my life, and have the necessary paperwork filled out. Get your affairs in order so no one has to feel bad for the choices they might be faced with and so you will feel good about your future.
Learn Reflexology (esp. of the hands)-- when you feel heart pain, fluttering, etc. PRESS HARD & consistently firm, onto/around the the tip of the LEFT baby finger--with your right-hand thumb (under finger-pad) & curled index finger (atop nailbed). Do so for at least 30 seconds, followed by a general full, firm wrap-around of that same left baby finger with your entire right hand/fingers (grio it in fist mode, while massaging/pressing hard. And, maybe go back to firmly pressing just of the finger tip; alternate back & forth for a few minutes). By then, you should experience some clear relief (of pains, flutters). What this is doing is helping to open the body energy flow through the heart meridian /called, "chi", that affects/supports the heart organ with vital 'electrical' energy.
I'm 77 and had 2 heart attacks so far. I also have two stents in my heart. One heart attack was very painful. I hope you never have to experience one. Now, I carry two small metal vials that are attched to my keychain so they are always with me. One vial contains aspirin that I change once a year and the other vial contains Nitroglycerin. So far I've not had to use them because I've changed my diet and exercise every day. I also keep a list of my meds in a prescription bottle in the freezer, the paramedics will go there immediately upon entering your home. The fact that you are reading this doctor's thread is a good start on how to live longer and healthier.
You’re a Providential Dr. Allen Mandell. Your unceasing informative videos are so oftentimes highly appreciated. God bless and keep you with your lovely Family evermore 🙏🏻🙏🏻🧲🪬🪴🌳💦🛎🧿🧿🧿
I hope this channel goes on for a long time because it's been very helpful to me and helped others I'm sure. I went to the hospital a few days ago because of stomach upset and off and on diarrhea and this Dr. I believe his name was Dr.Sullivan did so many tests and did an X-ray he also checked my thyroid and did a blood test.... thankfully everything is working great but he did diagnose me with (GAD) generalized anxiety disorder which has caused new problems that I never thought possible. I wanted to also thank you for your prayers Dr.Mandel and I hope all the best for you because nowadays there are Dr's like you and Sullivan that are tough to find and when God says he's got ya then that's what he means and again I hope all the best for you and your family. ❤
Great information I always put this type of information on my notes on my iPhone and save the videos I was just wondering about this recently what to do if I’m alone and feel like I’m having a heart attack Thank you for the information you give us
Im in the UK and a few months ago I had serious breathing problems and following advice from a NHS advice line I called an ambulance. I never got one! Eventually managed to see a GP. My GP phones me with results of blood tests and says Im at risk from diebetes and heart attack within the nect ten years. On instructions from a warden for independant living I put up a key box in case of an emergency bought on line. Browsing on youtube it flagged up a locksmith showing you how to work out the locking number on the same key lock. Im now not only at risk of heart attack stroke and diebetes but someone breaking into my home as well.!!!!!
A - Asprin
B - Breathing
C - Calm
D - Don't Drink, Eat or Drive
E - Emergency Services
F - Friend or Neighbours
E goes first. You want to activate the emergency system as soon as possible.
I'm waiting for the how to survive cardiac arrest video
First is sweating at night on your face so dont panic if happens at cold night
@@shevetlevi2821depends on your location….get the aspirin in you and it goes to work while you’re freaking out about your health insurance 😂
Raise legs
Maybe include opening your front door so that if you collapse the emergency crew can enter without wasting time breaking in.
Thank you
I never lock my front door for the same reason 😢
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!

Getting older and I really appreciate this.
I had a heart attack in the late 80s but didn’t realize it nor went to the hospital : I just continued working . Over 20 years later I had a treadmill test with the die and X-ray exam. The Doctor told me that she could see where I had a heart attack. I told her I never had a heart attack but then I remembered that couple seconds of terrible pain in my chest years earlier.

That happened to my father who was just chatting to some paramedics who hooked him up to an ECG to demonstrate the workings.
Sure enough my dad went to the doctors who corroborated it and took action.
The modern heart surgeon goes up the big artery in the leg to perform some surgical procedure.
No need to rip open the rib cage like the olden days.he lived to 92

Thanks for pure selfless service to humanity.God bless you and family
Cough! MY ex was in NM alone in semi. He smoked a cigarettes and he was COUGHING. The Dr told him the coughing was what saved his life. It got his heart to pumping again
Wow
I heard a doctor on the radio advising the same cough and keep coughing
It's possible coughing dislodges the clot that's forming/formed.
I heard the same. the best should be to inhale as much air as possible and then cough.
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.
Should be mandtory teaching of these life-saving measures in schools!
The Red Cross CPR class is a good recommendation.
Add it to the list.
I took a CPR class at the high school, in the evening, years ago. Our society is lacking much right now. Let's turn it all around for good. We CAN do it.
They're indoctrination camps. They don't care about us.
No they would rather teach what gender are you
My heart attack symptom was discomfort in my abdomen only, not pain exactly just a weird feeling that gradually was getting stronger. After 30 minutes was taken to emergency room, and was having a heart attack. Just wanted to post this to let everone know that sometimes you can have different kinds of symptoms than the ones you usually hear about. Don't wait. I had 95% blockage in artery needed a stent.
My uncle felt his in the abdomen too!
Uk or USA
Thank God your ok!!!
An important item I heard which didn’t even occur to me but makes perfect sense is when calling 911, go unlock your front door or apartment door to allow easy access for first responders. 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.
EXCELLENT advice!!!
as long as you let someone know they are there, if you get taken to hospital and die they'll be left to die of starvation! we all need an emergency instruction pack for family or neighbours.
What if nobody goes to your place for a wk.bcs u died?😢
Can't do that here in South Africa unfortunately because 1) The chances of anyone actually answering our emergency number, 10111, are slim. 2) If you leave your door open the EMT's will be walking into a house devoid of any furniture.
As a paramedic for 15 years, I would say in addition to calling 911 go unlock your front door. You wouldn’t believe how many people forget about that and we get on scene and then they are immobile or unconscious, and we cannot access their residence without forceful entrycosting valuable minutes. Also, even during the daytime it’s helpful if you turn your porch light on it will help the emergency responders. Identify your house.
I just bought some chewable aspirin to keep on hand. I am 75 and have high blood pressure. My grandfather dies of a heart attack. I will keep this aspirin on my desk. Thanks for this reminder.
Aspirin is not as fast as cayenne pepper, I have found.

I foolishly drove to the hospital too. Shortly after I got into my room, I flat-lined and was resusitated with pressure paddles. I survived after having triple bypass surgery.
My 61 year old cousin passed away alone in her home from heart failure. She wouldn’t answer her phone or door, so after day 3 they got the building manager to open the door to her apartment, where she was found dead lying on her bed with her dog sitting steadfast by her side not budging.
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.
She was a single mum who had a daughter later in life. Her daughter is in her very early 20s. It’s very sad.
So very sad!
Heart, lung, brain. Physicians should be super observant with symptoms that may include these organs.
Sad but thats not the topic.
I had other health problem, be in the GP and hostipal few times, one CT scan, one operation for gallbladder remove in 3 years, duing those time some how miss out the long team heart problem until I had a cardiac arrest almost lost my life last years.
Thats sad. Whenever I visit my GP, the first thing they do is take my vitals. That should be the standard practice everywhere.
In case you don't have Aspirin at hand, taking Cayenne Pepper with a little water may also help prevent a heart attack by promoting blood flow effectively through the circulatory system. It has a mild blood-thinning action
Also, not everyone can take aspirin. In addition to cayenne, garlic also has a blood-thinning action; I use it regularly because I like it, but that's a nice side benefit.
@@Avery_4272...I take garlic water every once a week. I like it too😊
@@artisthusnatalal3099 garlic is good. in kebab sauce and italian pasta sauce... mmm-MM!
I've also head about a spoon of cayenne, on the back of the tongue washed down with water. A stout glass of red wine was also told me years ago.
I would guess more people have aspirin than have cayenne pepper. If you are over 40 and especially if you are male have aspirin nearby. in fact take a baby aspirin every day to have more days.
I can never thank you for doing this video because we singletons are ALWAYS FORGOTTEN by the healthcare agencies that teach these procedures and assume everyone is part of a couple! They also NEVER teach singletons how to deal with a choking episode - which I experienced a few years ago and it's bloody terrifying!!! Very good of you to acknowledge that single people actually exist. NHS, St John's Ambulance et al - take note!!!

Dr. Mandell, thank you for this content. I had a heart attack in 2016 and was shocked because I didn't have pain in the left arm, only to find out that many women do not. You gave symptoms that both genders experience.
Just pant. Tiny short breaths to breathe in. Took awhile but I was slowly able to take a bit more air in. I was totally exhausted afterwards. Your body works really hard trying to survive during this time. ❤
The video is fantastic! This message deserves to be shared widely-especially in schools, workplaces, and across media platforms everywhere!
I'm 62 and I listen to this doctor. My mom died last year of a 'sudden coronary event' then my cousin (63) dropped dead in the middle of a phone call. I had a doctor check my heart pronto. My mom starved herself and my cousin smoked like a house afire. I didn't take a chance, I had tests done. I was 209 lbs, I've got down to 163 lbs and a goal weight of 145. I'm not retiring as a broken down old hag.
I'm 71 and weigh 209. Really need to get my weight down as well. I feel fine, but you never know. Any tips?
@yeesh9215 I'm sorry this took a while. I see an endocrinologist. Walking, walking, walking! Try some intermittent fasting too. Eat as much organic as you can, processed food and sugar is the devil and so evil! American food is poison. I jest, but not really. Fat is not an enemy unless you combine it with sugar. 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.
This guy isn't even a real doctor. It would help if he made this clear.
I carry cayenne pepper with me. It' works so fast! Right as soon as I sprinkle a little on my tongue, my chest pressure goes away!!! It has saved many lives. Plus, it's made by God! Also, coughing really hard works too!
I take cayenne pepper everywhere I go!😂

Thanks for the comment on cayenne pepper. I take about a 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper in 6 or 8 ounces of water once or twice a day. Helps with blood flow and artery health.

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.
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?
Always call ER if you can thank you Dr Mandell!!

Indigestion, Dizziness, Fatigue, Heart Palpitations, Brain Fog. Been having these symptoms for more than 5 years now.
You need to schedule an appointment with your cardiologist to discuss your symptoms. During this visit, you should undergo testing for atrial fibrillation (Afib) to determine if this condition is affecting your heart. Early diagnosis and management are crucial for your heart health, so don’t delay in seeking this evaluation.
Canyenne pepper tincture, works for all that
It could be stress and stress can lead to a heart attack.
@@Pynksaffron Really? EARLY diagnosis after having those symptoms for 5 years? Obviously that's not the problem
its just anxiety....
Everyone should watch this-knowing these steps might save a life one day.😊
You should talk more about silent heart attacks. These are attacks that you dont even know your having. I went undiagnosed for 6 months having many silent heart attacks. Went to the doctors. They did EKGs. They took xrays and concluded that my back pain must just be arthritis or muscle strain. Finally, 6 months later, when the pain finally reached my chest, I called 911 and went to the ER. There they recommended I go to the Cardiac center where they can use a dye to detect the problem. Only way to detect it. It was a blocked artery. Normal EKGs didnt detect it. Enzymes were only slightly elevated. If you have a back pain, located right behind the heart, get that checked out.

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.
This helps with my angina at times

My brother saved his friend's life a couple of nights ago...she was complaining of chest pain, hard to breathe, pain in her arm...he told her to chew some high dosage asprin and she said she felt a lot better right away...she did the same the next morning when the symptoms came back. 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. She's staying a few days in a private room with low lighting, soothing music and total rest. Chewing high-dosage asprin is a must for anyone experiencing heart attack symptoms until you get to the hospital!
Thank you so much, Dr. Mandel, for all the valuable information you share. This video is so important. God bless you!
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.
I also heard that you should cough very hard when experiencing symptoms or having a heart attack. It does something to improve blood flow by forcing, I think, the heart to pump blood through blocked arteries, I believe it was. I saw this years ago, could be wrong, of course.
I was just getting ready to say the exact same thing. Hard coughing is very important and it can literally save you till help comes .
Yessss, I’ve heard this too, to start coughing hard!! AND to take some chewable aspirin, I keep these chewable aspirin on hand at all times! Thanks for the reminder too!
Yes I was just going to mention this too!
I heard about paprika and/or chewable aspirin. The coughing is essential.
That’s an option. 2 other options that a cardiologist told me was
1) hold my breath, keep it in while trying to blow it out and giving yourself a bear hug.
2) literally gag yourself with a spoon.
I don’t like the gag reflex so i do the breath and hug technique and it works.
High Lipoprotein A - 335 - genetics - and the Doc told me it was acid reflux. Post heart attack I was unaware of, I took 2 aspirin after the gastro tablets didnt work. Ran to the bus stop and drove myself to hospital. Thanks for this helpful vid.
I had been in the hospital. The night I came home, at 2:30 in the AM, there was the elephant sitting on my chest, Worst pain ever. I sat on the side of the bed, took my pulse, blood pressure, Tempature, all normal, so I thought it can't be a heart attack. I got up and went and laid on the couch and fell asleep. When I woke up, you would have thought I had stood in the shower with my pajamas on. I felt fine. I obviously had a heart attack. Never went back to hospital or really told anyone. That was 10 years ago.
So you literally pissed your pants while laying on the couch passed out??
@@electron7659He’s talking about sweating 🤦🏼♀️

Thank you as always Dr. Mandell. Can you please post a video regarding women's symptoms of heart attack? I know that they may present very differently.
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.
@kareemai1403 have a question ... what test shows blockages?? .. I've had only blood tests done, and they say you look good and fit bloodbwork is good so nothing wrong. Just go home ... frustrating
@@chevygirl69the test is horrible. They inject a radioactive dye in you where under special equipment they can see the blood flow in every artery and vein in your body.
@@chevygirl69 They stuck a camera on the end of a long wire or something up an artery in my arm at the wrist to check for blockages. I could feel it in my heart 😬

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.
Oh well, doing great so far, back to work after missing 10days
Basically, shortness of breath would be my 1st indicator & weirdness of chest
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.
@@dannysgirl1549 There is no excuse for when a 61-year-old man walks into an ER and says he has shortness of breath and chest pains not to be seen right away

A couple years ago i had chest pain that didn't go away. (female) My daughter took me to an ER, and they said I was having a heart attack based on the troponin level in my blood. 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. 🙏
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.
This just made my day better!
Depends on how you want to go out. My mom was 94 when she awoke confused and feeling ill.. Her care facilitator took her to her doctor who said she had had a heart attack and called an ambualnce. She died late that afternoon with only my sister-in- law there. Mom had all the advanced dirrective stuff including dedicating her body to sciense. One call to Loma Linda and they came and got her and issued the death certificate. Zero cost. Great family memorial at Bass Lake.
I really needed to know this..Again thank you Dr. Mandell, for all you teach!

Based on the symptoms you described I’ve had a heart attack here and there multiple times in my life, casually, without even noticing
Special Blessings and Thanks 😊💕
Thankyou for reaffirming what knowledge I already have. My Mum, rest her soul, and Dad both had/have heart failure/disease. Great short videos like this save lives, thanks, Dr Mandell.😊
This Man is such a great doctor much love from Dublin Ireland ❤❤❤
I don't understand how a heart attack victim could miss it's killing onslaught. It dropped me in my tracks, I knew immediately this was a heart attack and I was dying. I think you've greatly minimized the symptoms of an attack in process. Now if you will explain the symptoms leading up to the attack it would be very useful. I had a number of symptoms and was in denial about them. Because of the damage, even with the bypass, Doctors said i'd probably have 7 years left, that was 34 years ago because I did every life change they told me to make to the letter.
I am going to order asprin today...I remember my grandpa had aspirin in his kitchen cabinet by the sink, he had heart troubles and he did pass with a heart attack alone 😔
Sorry to hear about your grandfather.
Also consider cayenne pepper. Dr. Mandell, and Barbara O'Reilly both hav videos on its health benefits for arteries and blood flow.
@billh.5360 very kind of you, he brought me up since I was one...I will do that as well. Enjoy your day.
I was walking my dog alone in the woods when suddenly I could not breath. I got the dog back to the car and drove home. My wife called the emergency services and I was transported to hospital. I had no chest pains, no pain radiating down my arms, just breathless and sweating. A month or so later I developed pericarditis, that was painful. The stent operation failed and I am now “medically managed”. I carry emergency several aspirin in a medical key ring and carry my heart spray when out. All my arteries are 100% clear except the one that caused the heart attack.
You never fail to surprise us!
The amount of times I thought I was having a heart attack because of "tightness or pain in the chest" that just turned out to be indigestion, or gas. I really wish there was a better way to know.
I sleep with my garage door opener by my bed in case i have to let emergency help in. 😮😊
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
Sitting on the with your back to the wall and your knees up is sound advice too. If you pass out, you don't hurt yourself falling. Don't seat on a chair or sofa
Some people do not want anything done, and that is ok, but it is important that your family and doctor understand this. I don't want anything done that would prolong my life, and have the necessary paperwork filled out. Get your affairs in order so no one has to feel bad for the choices they might be faced with and so you will feel good about your future.
Good to know Doc. Thank you. Have a great day 😊Blessings ✝️♥️🙏

Learn Reflexology (esp. of the hands)-- when you feel heart pain, fluttering, etc. PRESS HARD & consistently firm, onto/around the the tip of the LEFT baby finger--with your right-hand thumb (under finger-pad) & curled index finger (atop nailbed). Do so for at least 30 seconds, followed by a general full, firm wrap-around of that same left baby finger with your entire right hand/fingers (grio it in fist mode, while massaging/pressing hard. And, maybe go back to firmly pressing just of the finger tip; alternate back & forth for a few minutes).
By then, you should experience some clear relief (of pains, flutters).
What this is doing is helping to open the body energy flow through the heart meridian /called, "chi", that affects/supports the heart organ with vital 'electrical' energy.
This is eye openning Dr Ma dell❤
I'm 77 and had 2 heart attacks so far. I also have two stents in my heart. One heart attack was very painful. I hope you never have to experience one. Now, I carry two small metal vials that are attched to my keychain so they are always with me. One vial contains aspirin that I change once a year and the other vial contains Nitroglycerin. So far I've not had to use them because I've changed my diet and exercise every day. I also keep a list of my meds in a prescription bottle in the freezer, the paramedics will go there immediately upon entering your home. The fact that you are reading this doctor's thread is a good start on how to live longer and healthier.
Sounds like a good plan if you can always find your keys. So many people misplace their keys all the time.

I could have ticked every box on that symptoms list so many times in my life I've lost count...... 😮😅😖
Amen thank you so much Dr M
Hi I’ve just had a heart attacks as I was halfway through the video .
감사합니다 사랑합니다
Thank you for this, Doc. Important slice of information, now that I am older and living alone.
What about cayenne pepper
Im in the UK and a few months ago I had serious breathing problems and following advice from a NHS advice line I called an ambulance. I never got one! Eventually managed to see a GP.
My GP phones me with results of blood tests and says Im at risk from diebetes and heart attack within the nect ten years.
On instructions from a warden for independant living I put up a key box in case of an emergency bought on line. Browsing on youtube it flagged up a locksmith showing you how to work out the locking number on the same key lock.
Im now not only at risk of heart attack stroke and diebetes but someone breaking into my home as well.!!!!!
Thank you Doctor great information. ❤
