Cardiovascular diseases can manifest suddenly, even against a background of seemingly complete health.
- However, these conditions do not arise out of nowhere, - explained cardiologist Alisa MAEVSKAYA. - Atherosclerosis develops gradually and often goes unnoticed for a long time, but it is often the cause of angina, myocardial infarction, and stroke. Additionally, elevated blood glucose levels can lead to instability of atherosclerotic plaques, which, in turn, can cause their rupture and the formation of a thrombus.
Uncontrolled arterial hypertension can lead to serious diseases. Unfortunately, we do not always pay attention to symptoms such as a slight decrease in physical activity, which manifests as shortness of breath or a feeling of heaviness in the chest, and sometimes even a mild burning sensation behind the sternum that passes after a short rest.
IMPORTANT!
To prevent angina and myocardial infarction, it is necessary to monitor cholesterol and blood glucose levels, as well as blood pressure readings, and to start treatment in a timely manner. Moreover, you should immediately consult a cardiologist if you notice a decrease in your physical activity.
