Some heart attacks can happen suddenly, while others start slowly and cause pain and discomfort which progress over time. A person can have symptoms for hours before even realizing that they are having a heart attack.<\/p>\n<p>Every year more than 150, 000 Canadians suffer from this condition. Fortunately, with some healthy lifestyle changes, the risk of having a heart attack can be significantly reduced. People who wish to avoid this health problem or are recovering after a heart attack should stick to a healthy diet, exercise regularly and avoid stressful situations.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>What Does a Heart Attack Look Like? <\/strong><\/h2>\n<h3 style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><strong>#1 &#8211; Chest discomfort:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\">Not all people experience chest pain in the same way. Some experience squeezing, while others have a feeling of fullness.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><strong>#2 &#8211; Pain or discomfort throughout the body:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\">A heart attack doesn\u2019t have to cause pain only in the chest area. It can lead to soreness in the neck, arms, jaw or back.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><strong>#3 &#8211; Shortness of breath:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\">Although it is often not recognized as one, shortness of breath can be a sign of a heart attack.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><strong>#4 &#8211; Nausea:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\">Symptoms such as lightheadedness, vomiting, cold sweats and nausea are also signs that the person is having a heart attack.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5361\" src=\"https:\/\/www.comfortkeepers.ca\/edmonton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/134\/2022\/04\/ck126_home-health-care.jpg\" alt=\"What Does a Heart Attack Look Like? | Comfort Keepers Edmonton | BLOG POST | Male clutching chest with heart monitor graphics overlaid\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.comfortkeepers.ca\/edmonton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/134\/2022\/04\/ck126_home-health-care.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.comfortkeepers.ca\/edmonton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/134\/2022\/04\/ck126_home-health-care-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.comfortkeepers.ca\/edmonton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/134\/2022\/04\/ck126_home-health-care-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Types of Heart Attacks<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h3 style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><strong>#1 &#8211; NSTEMI:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\">A restricted blood flow to the heart through a coronary artery leads to a heart attack.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><strong>#2 &#8211; Demand Ischemia<\/strong>:<\/h3>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\">Some heart attacks have nothing to do with artery blockages. A heart attack can happen when the heart needs more oxygen than it is receiving.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><strong>#3 &#8211; Silent Heart Attacks:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\">Some people have a heart attack without even knowing it. This type is called a silent heart attack.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><strong>#4 &#8211; Coronary Artery Spasm:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\">When the artery wall tightens, it can cause a restricted blood flow through the artery, which leads to a heart attack.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><strong>#5 &#8211; Cardiac Arrest:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\">This is not exactly a heart attack, but a term used when a patient\u2019s heart stops beating.<\/p>\n<p>Recognizing the symptoms on time and acting accordingly can be a lifesaver. If you experience these symptoms or you see someone having them, seek medical attention immediately.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Comfort Keepers\u00ae Edmonton is Proud to Offer a Wide Range of Home Senior Care Services<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Our trained caregivers will ensure your loved one is comfortable, independent and safe in their home.
