Most of us are familiar with the classic symptoms of a heart attack: Chest pain, numbness in the left arm, Shortness of breath, etc. Sometimes, the symptoms are very strong and obvious and sometimes they are subtle, resembling heartburn or angina.
But, what if the heart attack produces no symptoms? A silent heat attack is not only possible, it's fairly common.
People who have had a silent heart attack are fortunate to be alive because it is one of the most deadly heart attacks that can hit you. Twice as many people die from silent attack compared to heart attacks where chest pain is experienced. Silent heart attacks are cause when your arteries narrow and you don't get enough oxygen to your heart. Chronic lack of oxygen normally results in a condition called 'Angina'. But in 25-30% of cases, lack of oxygen can produce a heart attack without any symptoms.
Absence of pain doesn't mean there's and absence of damage to the heart muscle. And, because they go untreated, silent heart attacks can be deadly. They also increase you odds of having a second heart attacks, which would be more likely to kill you.
While most physician believe the heart is permanently damage during a silent heart attack, there is still hope. With the right approach you can not only rebuild your heart muscle after a heart attack, but also prevent another attack.
