Corpus Christi Emergency Care: Your Quality Care Center for Heart Attacks and Health Emergencies

In a time where busy-ness is a culture, and over fatigue is trivialized and openly condoned, efforts to promote awareness for heart health must increase.
Day in and day out, heart attacks creep on unknowing victims who shrug off the tiredness and heaviness that they’ve been feeling, and mistake their lingering chest pains for a bad case of indigestion, all because of the urgent things that they need yet to get done. For a lot of people, the urgency of their health situation is inevitably undermined and overwhelmed by the urgency of their work-related tasks.
And then there are those who experience silent heart attacks – the kind of heart attacks that are asymptomatic or do not have any recognizable symptoms.
Some people just don’t experience the classic symptoms of a heart attack such as angina (chest pain) or dyspnea (shortness of breath). And because of the lack of symptoms, again, the urgency of their health situation is attenuated.
It is known that these types of heart attacks are common to the elderly, and such heart attacks, exactly because of its lack of unrecognizable symptoms, pose much higher risks compared to those with recognizable symptoms. Plus, these silent heart attacks are equally dangerous, or perhaps even more dangerous, because they are not given medical attention soon enough, or even at all.
Medical professionals recommend that, especially for older person, prolonged periods of feeling unwell, whether or not accompanied by the cardinal signs of a heart attack, call for a doctor’s appointment. These things require immediate care.Aside from the presence or absence of obvious symptoms, another factor that contributes to the “urgency” of a health situation for most people is the availability of a health facility. Some people, even if they are not feeling well, would opt to go see the doctor the following day since the nearest hospital to their home is several blocks away.
Especially if you have cardiovascular risk factors – such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, excessive alcohol intake, obesity, and lack or absence of physical activity – you have to make sure that you are cognizant of ways on how to prevent a heart attack, you are in regular communication with your doctors, and you aware of the nearest health facility in your area.
