 Hello, I am Dr. Abhishek, Consultant Intervention Cardiology at Manipal Hospital, Gazebad. Today I'd like to increase your awareness about myocardial infarction, which is also known as heart attack in common language. As we all know, it is a very serious and a life-threatening situation and a delay in treatment can increase the chances of adverse outcome in these patients. Heart attack happens because of sudden occlusion of blood flow to arteries which supply blood to heart puzzles. Most common symptom of heart attack is chest pain. But contrary to the common belief, heart attack can happen even without chest pain also. Most common symptom of heart attack is chest pain, but contrary to the common belief, it can happen without any chest pain, especially in elderly patients and in diabetic patients. Other symptoms of heart attack are shortness of breath, sweating, ghabrahat, and chest heaviness. Also, a patient can present with bilateral shoulder pain, arm pain, pain in jaws, or pain in upper abdomen without having any chest pain. In case if you are having a doubt that I am having a heart attack, when in doubt, don't waste time in home remedies during chest pain because it will unnecessarily delay the required treatment and will increase the risk to life. In such a situation, early and timely treatment is a key to successful and good outcomes. So, reach the nearest medical facility as soon as possible. Thank you.
