                     Ziqitza - How To Avoid A Heart Attack And Recover 
From One?
Heart attack can be alarming but thanks to 
improvements in medical treatments and procedures, 
people who survive their first cardiac incident can go 
on to lead full and productive lives.Studies have 
found that, heart attack is one of the leading causes 
of death in several countries across the globe, and 
India is no exception.  Prevalence of heart disease and 
stokes has increased by 50% from 1990 to 2020. 
Where one can’t do much when one suffers a heart 
attack, it is wise to take necessary preventive 
measures and make them part of one’s lifestyle, to 
avoid the fatal encounter with this disease. 
Dr Datar from Ziqitza Healthcare says, Ziqtza Rajastan has catered 
to many patients suffering from heart attack by giving them 
timely emergency medical aid. So its imperative to understand 
what triggered your heart attack, if not then what is 
recommended to keep the following things in mind to prevent a 
heart attack and stay healthy:
Eat healthy — ensure that your diet comprises a balance of 
nutrients like protein, carbohydrates, fat, vitamins, and 
minerals. Add abundant fresh fruits and vegetables, dairy 
products, eggs/lean meat, foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids, 
and grains to your daily diet. Reduce your salt, sweet and 
red meat intake, to maintain cholesterol and blood pressure 
levels. 
Exercise regularly — Lead an active lifestyle, which will not 
only keep your weight in check, but also help improve blood 
circulation, lower cholesterol and blood pressure levels. This 
further aids in maintaining heart health, thereby reducing 
the possibility of a heart attack. A good mix of cardio 
vascular and weight training with yoga is extremely 
effective.
Avoid alcohol and smoking — Steer clear of alcohol, smoking, and 
any such harmful addictive substances.
Be relaxed and get enough sleep— Try finding a method to ease 
out and relax such as yoga or meditation to reduce your stress 
levels, as stress is one of the biggest triggers for heart attack 
across all age groups. Adequate sleep is equally important, in 
order to reduce the risk of disorders like obesity, diabetes, and 
high blood pressure, which eventually lead to a heart attack or 
stroke.
Maintain blood sugar — Excessive sugar in your blood levels is 
extremely risky, as it can damage the arteries, which is found in 
the case of pre-diabetics as well as diabetics. Go for regular check-
ups to ensure that your blood sugar is in control, to prevent 
diabetes, and thereby, any chance of a heart attack. 
While all of the above helps in reducing the risk of a heart 
attack, at times, it is inevitable. However, time is of utmost 
importance in case of such a medical emergency, to mitigate 
the loss of life identifying the following signs and symptoms can 
help saving a life-
    Chest pain that feels like pressure, squeezing, or fullness. 
The pain is most often in the center of the chest. It may also 
be felt in the jaw, shoulder, arms, back, and stomach. It can 
last for more than a few minutes or come and go
    Numbness, aching or tingling in the arm (usually the left 
arm)
     Shortness of breath
     Cold sweat
    Light-headedness
    Nausea (more common in women)
    Vomiting
    Weakness or fatigue or altered mental status, especially in 
elderly and women
Heart attacks can be fatal and early medical attention can 
save a life. If you see someone experiencing the symptoms, 
remember the following checklist to ensure their safety-
 
• Have the person sit down, rest, and try to keep calm
• Loosen any tight clothing
• Avoid any physical activity
• Call for emergency medical helplines such as Dial 108 or Dial 
102
     Do not leave the person unattended or wait for the symptoms 
to go away.
     Do not allow the person to deny the symptoms and convince      
you not to call for emergency help.
      Give them CPR if needed until ambulance arrives
