The workings of the human heart are the profoundest mystery of the universe. One moment they make us despair of our kind, and the next we see in them the reflection of the divine image, but unfortunately we humans fail to take care such powerful organ which is gifted by god. Yes guys, the resent study revels that heart attacks and strokes are the 3rd major cause of death world wide, so my today’s article deals with such an alarming issue, but before going in depth it’s very important to know what is “heart attack” and what is “stroke”
When we talk about heart attacks and strokes we generally assume that they are just two different terms for the same thing, but guys they are not...
Heart Attacks:
Heart attack refers to damage to the muscle of the heart, usually from a lack of blood flow. Most of the time, a blood clot forms in one of the arteries that supplies the heart muscle with blood, blocking the flow of blood. As the heart muscle starves, it begins to die, causing chest pain and other heart attack symptoms
Symptoms: ·Chest pain · Pressure, heaviness or tightness in the chest
·Pain or pressure in the neck or jaw
·Pain or pressure in one or both arms (especially the left)
A stroke is a similar blockage in an artery that supplies blood to the brain. When a clot forms in one of those arteries and stops blood flow, a section of the brain begins to die. Stroke symptoms often don't include any pain or discomfort, and are more likely associated with losing feeling or the ability to move. Much of the time, strokes affect only one side of the body.
Symptoms: ·
Sudden numbness or weakness of face, arm, or leg, especially on one side of the body.
·Sudden confusion or trouble speaking or understanding speech.
·Sudden trouble seeing in one or both eyes.
·Sudden trouble walking, dizziness, or loss of balance or coordination
·Sudden severe headache with no known cause.
So guys I hope you may now come to know the differences. Anyways guys, my this special edition will go on for another 3 days laying special emphasis on “stroke” yes guys Stroke is most common and dangerous heart disease which comes at very young age so till then keep reading and keep saying” ALL IZZ WELL” as “It is not the size of a man but the size of his heart that matters.”
