It always pays to listen to your heart – and watch out for symptoms!
As the leading cause of death around the world, heart disease is no joke. It’s a dire force to be reckoned with, especially in the Philippines, where heart disease and heart failure are becoming more and more prevalent, regardless of age.
When heart problems that are either acquired or congenital are unmanaged, this is what eventually causes your heart to fail. “Anything that would show that you need more oxygen is when your heart cannot meet its full capacity anymore,” Dr. Elyn said. If you can no longer move around without having difficulty breathing, Dr. Erlyn said you must seek medical help right away.“Heart disease can be chronic, progressive, and debilitating; that’s why it’s important to be able to diagnose it early on. If we are able to create that awareness, even in children, that is better,” Dr.
If you’ve already suffered a blockage, stroke, or heart attack in the past, the goal is to prevent a second attack, which is called “secondary prevention” – risk factors need to be managed even more here.“It should start with extracting your own medical history, so it’s about time that we all asked our parents, uncles, and aunties,” Dr. Erlyn said.
“These unhealthy habits – and denying medications – may actually be pushing heart disease patients into a state that can be even more costly in the future,” Dr. Erlyn said. If unaddressed, heart failure/disease can lead to hospitalizations, re-hospitalizations, surgeries, transplants, and expensive therapies.
You can also have regular blood chemistry tests done from home, just so you can gauge how your cholesterol and sugar levels are doing a few times a year with the guidance of your doctor.
