The Many Issues of Heart Disease

This article is about the many issues of Heart Disease. Your heart is a very important organ in your body. It is the organ that keeps your body functioning every day. Many people treat it differently than they should which is not good because it could lead into some very deadly issues.

One you can develop is Atherosclerosis which is a condition of hardening of the muscle in your heart. I am a Medical Professional so I can tell you a lot about the heart. Atherosclerosis is a disease brought on by not eating a healthy diet and all the fat you eat building up in the arteries of your heart. It can lead to heart attacks, stroke and even death. You have to be careful with what you eat on a daily basis and take care of your heart the way you should.

There is also a condition called TIA which is Transient Ischemic Attack, which in laymen terms means mini strokes. Mini strokes are very deadly and should be paid attention to very quickly. I am a witness to mini strokes and they cause your eyes to see silver spots and them go completely blurry, you hands go numb, half of your face goes numb, and you get dry heaves. Mini strokes can be very deadly. If you are having this problem make sure you tell your doctor about them because if they are over looked, it could end up in fatal circumstances which is something you do not want.

One can develop strokes which is something that happens when something has interfered with the blood flow to the heart. For example, artery clogging. Artery clogging is a very serious condition that should be taken care of immediately. Some doctor's put stints in your heart which is a procedure that puts a metal rod up through your thigh to your heart to place a balloon in the artery and blow the balloon up so that whatever is blocking the artery will have a chance to pass and they also put a stint i your artery as well to keep the artery open.

Another condition of heart disease is strokes. With strokes it is a lot like mini strokes, but there are a few different things that happen with strokes that does not happen with mini strokes. You loose all vision in your eyes same as the mini strokes you go numb as like with mini strokes, but the other thing that happens with strokes is that your speech is slurred. You know when someone is having a stroke when they grab their chest and you ask what is wrong and they tell you, but you cannot understand what they are saying. My step father died from a stroke so strokes are very deadly as well.

So if you are experiencing any of these conditions, please talk to your doctor immediately so they can come up with a solution to help you and make you healthy again.
