Heart attack is the most common problem in people of all ages. Previously, elderly people were mostly found suffering from heart attack and other disorders of heart. But today the situation is averse. People belonging to different age groups are undergoing severe symptoms of heart attack. One reason of this problem is the unhealthy, inactive and unhygienic life styles that are being happily adapted by the people of today.

Heart attack has got into our minds to such an extent that even with a slight pain in the chest or joints, we presume that we are suffering from a heart disease or we will suffer a heart attack shortly. This is actually wrong because only a doctor can diagnose a disease. The symptoms of heart attack are not common like the symptoms of other diseases. Most of the people think that pain in legs is the symptom of heart attack but this is not true. Pain in legs is not the symptom of heart attack but pain in the entire joints of the body can be a common symptom of a possible heart attack.

Who is likely to get a heart attack?

Heart attack is not specific to a specific age group but in most of the cases middle aged and older people are affected by this disease. Heart attack affects fifty percent of the people by the age of 65. Heart attack can range from very mild to very severe. Women are less affected by heart attacks as compared to men after the age of 40. It lessens the power of body to resist to the diseases and weakens the overall immune system of the body. Moreover, a person who has once suffered from heart attack should keep himself away from stressful and sorrowful situations.

What are the symptoms of heart attack?

Strain on chest, nausea, sweating and numbness are the most common symptoms of heart attack. Pulling strains on the chest can result in a very severe heart attack. Moreover, terrible sweating in different seasons even in winter can also result in a severe heart attack.

No one is in charge of your happiness except you. Just smile as you do not own all the problems so do not stuff your head with things you do not understand. This will give you a long and happy life.
