The Secret to Heart Attack Survival REVEALED
I give a lot of advice on steps you can take to avoid a heart attack.
After all THAT’S the goal. And if you follow that advice, you’ll slash your odds of ever having one.
But there are no guarantees. If you do end up being one of the 800,000 Americans who will suffer from a heart attack this year, I want to share something else that’s JUST as critical…
The secret to SURVIVING one!
It may sound hard to believe, but many people having a heart attack don’t realize what’s happening.
The reason why is surprisingly simple. Most folks don’t know the wide range of symptoms that heart attacks can cause BEYOND chest pain.
When researchers combed through data on 11,894 heart attack victims they found around 10,600 had suffered a first-time heart attack while another 1,100 or so suffered a repeat event.
But incredibly, only about HALF of those folks correctly recognized the symptoms of a heart attack.
Most folks identified chest pain as a heart attack sign…. no surprise there. But less than a third knew that shortness of breath, cold sweats, and radiating pain were also indicators.
Only 7.5 percent knew that lightheadedness was a symptom, and a mere 1.3 percent knew that a stomachache could be a sign.
Here’s the thing, heart attacks often don’t look like they do on TV when people clutch their chest as they double over with severe chest pain—or grab their arm to indicate numbness or pain.
In fact, women often don’t experience any chest pain at all. They’re more likely to have signs like anxiousness or nausea.
These symptoms don’t scream “heart attack,” which leads many women to wait to seek medical care.
This delay can—and DOES—mean the difference between life and death.
Statistics show that men are more likely to go to a hospital with a heart attack and women are more likely to DIE of one.
The study confirmed that those who quickly recognized their heart attack symptoms were more likely to receive treatment to open their arteries and restore blood flow within that critical two-hour window, leading to less invasive treatments and better survival rates.
It also showed that, in those who didn’t recognize symptoms, the in-hospital mortality rate was 6.7 percent, compared to just 1.5 percent in those who recognized symptoms and sought treatment within two hours.
The bottom line: Quickly recognizing the symptoms of a heart attack is the key to surviving it.
Here’s a quick recap of the heart attack symptoms everyone should know:
- Chest pain
- Radiating pain or numbness to the arm
- Dizziness
- Cold sweats
- Breathlessness
- Nausea
- Vertigo
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, don’t wait. Seek treatment IMMEDIATELY!
