Sometimes a heart attack can
be avoided by paying attention to the different warning signs. There are a few
warning signs you may not be aware of that could be a sign that you are at risk
of having a heart attack.
You may have heart problems
if...
1. The local police stop you
and this is your third offense for “Failure to Exercise” and they tell you are
under “cardiac arrest”.
2. Your vehicle breaks down
and you call Enterprise to pick you up and they show up in an ambulance.
3. You get a checkup and
they find you need more bypasses than the average freeway.
4. The local EMS keeps an ambulance parked in your driveway...just in
case.
5. Your cardiologist keeps a
cardio-thoracic surgeon on 24 hour standby for you.
6. You buy food items containing
cholesterol at the grocery store and it sets off an alarm when you check out.
7. You’ve added an AED to
your first aid kit.
8. Your pharmacist sends you
discount coupons for blood pressure medication.
9. You keep hearing the
words “walking” and “heart attack” in your conversations with other people.
10. You stopped using the
phrase “serious as a heart attack” because you don’t want to push your luck.
Remember, while laughter is
the best medicine, heart problems are no joke.
While a certain amount of
humor can help us get through some bad times, there is also a need to be
serious when it comes to taking care of your health. So here’s a small amount
of advice from someone who’s “been there and done that”.
Make sure to
exercise regularly, eat a healthy diet and get regular checkups.
Staying above
the water line!
