Heart attack is not only signed by other pains
 Many people suffering heart disease do not have chest pains. However, the first symptom can be the last one in their life. The well-known journalist of CNN channel, Larry King, was half to loose his life just because he ignored the disease for not having had heart attack.
It was 17 years ago. Larry King has the factors leading him to the disease: having 3 cigarette packages per day, being diagnosed his disease as coronary arteries, having little vegetables but much meat and fat. Moreover, his father died of heart attack soon. Subjectively, he, however, maintained his daily habits.
One night, King had pains in right shoulder and felt exhausted. Without worry, he tried to have a cigarette on the way to hospital and intended to return home right after the pain released. If he had done so, it would have been his last time at home since the pain was serious. Fortunately, King stayed hospital and won the life and death struggle.
And from then on he must use an artificial heart and change the daily habit. You could be in his shoes as heart attack can come unexpectedly. Many people ignore the sign, supposing that it is no problem or they are just the symptoms of heartburn, muscles convulsion. To one third of the patients of heart attack, the first symptom can be also the last one and half of them have died on the way to hospitals.
Why can the patients hardly recognize the disease before getting worst? It is just for the reason that the heart itself can not find painful as there is no distinctive section for the pain sense. However, if heart gets troubled, nerves to heart will be out of order. Reaching the spine, they may touch other nerves (of hands or chest). Therefore, you may find painful in hands, chest, jaw or anywhere else out of heart. Brain also takes part in making a sign of heart disease as it stimulates pneumogastric nerve and this creates stomachache.
However, if the nerves mentioned above do not touch each other, you may feel plain while your heart is in trouble. Accordingly, please do not wait for the pains. If you may get the serious symptoms like Larry King, you should have health checked regularly and change your daily habit.
Why do you get heart attack?
Like the main water pipe at home, the heart in the body supports you with nutrition for living. Clean water helps you to prevent disease. In the body, the heart pumps blood to every corner; to brain for brainstorm, to genital organs for production and to muscles for strength to help your neighbor to move her heavy piano.
When working smoothly, your heart is like a powerful engine. Blood vessels to muscles plump like a well out bicycle's tyre. They help the heart pump blood around the body with a certain amount.
The heart is physically strong enough to adjust the rate of blood pump to any body activity even when you are walking about the windmill or trying to escape from the frustrating geese chasing you. Let imagine that you have to hold and spread hand at 60-70 times /minute all your life. But that is the duty of your heart. The pulsation allows your heart to process 5 liters of blood per minute at rest and 20 liters per minute at the moment you do exercises.
The greatest effect to the heart is the blood supplier. The common problem at this process is that coronary artery bringing blood to the heart gets narrow or stuck; making cardiac valve gets weaker due to blood shortage.
It is fortunate that you, not any other official, control water in the body. Your are the one who decide which kind of liquid flows into the pipelines, destroying or protecting them through your way of diet, doing exercises and dealing with stress.
Let imagine that circulation system like a railway system in which the heart is the main platform where all the trains go by; artery and vein are the track carrying the train to every corner of the body, helping passengers i.e. blood to the platform through any corner. Saturday- night trip brings you to her at a romantic date is always crowded.
If there is some problem with the rails or they get obstacles, the passenger train will grow furious. In case of over-extended obstacle, some stations may out of work and paralyze the others around. And if the Saturday-night trip can not reach the destination, you will be impotent.
