Heart Disease
Heart disease is what is known as the silent killer; to me I believe this whole heartedly. I hold this particular disease close to my heart because I had a lost due to the disease in my family. I had to realize that it must be really serious for the simple fact that it works so silently and could kill off so easily. I did my research on it and I now know the severity of it. Everyone should know whether it runs in the family or not what to look for, how to prevent it, management, diagnosis treatment and care. Heart disease fall under a plethora of diseases that affect the heart, it all ranges from the blood vessels, coronary artery, heart rhythms, heart infections and heart defects.
Symptoms
Heart disease could be a very complicated disease; therefore there are things that we should have the knowledge of knowing. As any other disease if we do not know what there is look for it can get drastic if not taken care of. Lets’ be clear there different types of heart disease, but my main focus is to get the basis of what signs to be aware of. Some of the symptoms may seem to be like a regular cold symptom in the beginning, what the kicker is recognizing when it is not as such and it is more serious. Having fatigue and dizziness to point where you feel you are going pass out and or you do, that is a major sign. Make sure that you document it when it happens as well. The second issue that I could see no one could bypass is chest pain, extreme pain that cannot be disregarded and is very uncomfortable; at that point the best response would be to call or get to the doctor as soon as possible. Any irregular signs that you know to be are going on with yourself with your heat, such as a slow heat beat, fast paced, fluttering those are warning signs and should be taken seriously. Last but not least is shortness of breath, it is not a great feeling and it will
