Is Your Chest Pain a Heart Attack? | El Camino Hospital




[ Silence ]
>> I'm Gordon Geison --
and I'm thrilled
to be here today.
As a matter of fact, as
a heart attack survivor,
I'm thrilled to be anywhere.
If I look around and I'm
not in the emergency room,
it's a good day, and I'm happy.
I want to talk to you today
very briefly about two things.
First, what are the
warning signs
that you're having
a heart attack.
It might not be as easy
as you think to know
if you're having a heart attack.
Second, what can you do to
help prevent a heart attack.
Okay. How do you know you're
having a heart attack?
It seems like an easy question,
but it's really not
all that clear.
We have this image from
movies and television
that heart attacks are
these big, dramatic events.
The guy grabs his chest
and falls over in pain.
That happens occasionally,
I suppose, but the fact is
that most heart attacks
start out very slowly
and people feel only minor pain,
a little discomfort sometimes.
When I had my heart
attack, I had no idea
that it was happening.
I felt a little lightheaded, a
little tightness in my chest,
but I was going to ignore it.
My wife finally insisted that
we go to the emergency room,
and she saved my life.
Doctors will tell you that
time is tissue; that is,
the longer you delay
getting help,
the more your heart
muscle will be damaged.
So don't ignore it.
Go to the hospital,
get help right away.
Call 911 within five
minutes if you experience any
of these symptoms, four symptoms
that you want to look out for.
One, discomfort in the chest.
If you feel a tightness in
your chest that lasts more
than a few minutes, or if
it goes away for a while
and then comes back, it
could be a heart attack.
Second, discomfort in
other parts of your body.
If your arms are sore,
particularly, or your neck
or sometimes your jaw
or even your stomach,
it could be a heart attack.
Third, if you have
shortness of breath,
if you have trouble
catching your breath,
it could be a heart attack.
And fourth, some people
experience flu-like symptoms.
They break out in a cold
sweat, or they're lightheaded
or nauseous; it could
be a heart attack.
Don't ignore it.
Don't delay.
Time is tissue.
But even more important than
knowing the warning signs
of a heart attack is knowing
what you can do right now to try
to prevent a heart attack.
One of the risk factors
for having a heart attack
is a stressful life.
If you're very stressed, it
could lead to a heart attack.
So you want to find something
that helps you relax.
Personally, I enjoy juggling,
so when I'm feeling stressed,
I grab my pins and
I start juggling.
Some people meditate, some
people sew, some people garden.
But whatever it is,
the important thing is
to find something you enjoy
and something that you can fit
into your lifestyle
and do regularly.
Take time to smell the roses
and shake off the small stuff.
Another factor in having a
heart attack is exercise or lack
of exercise, so it's very
important to stay active.
Some people like to play tennis,
some people like to play soccer,
some people play softball;
the lazy people play softball.
Just kidding.
But the research is overwhelming
that people that engage
in vigorous activity, regular
cardiovascular exercise,
dramatically reduce
their chances
of having a heart attack.
So find something you
enjoy and just do it.
Don't even think
of it as exercise,
think of it as lifesaving fun.
Another way you can
reduce your risk factor
for having a heart
attack is your diet.
You want to eat right, reduce
the saturated fats in your diet
and increase your consumption
of fruits and vegetables.
Everybody knows that an apple
a day keeps the doctor away.
[ Pause ]
So there you have it.
It's very simple.
Remember to get help
if you have any
of those symptoms
of a heart attack.
Know the warning signs.
Don't delay; time it tissue.
Second, eat right,
reduce the stress
in your life, and exercise.
And on a personal
note, I want to add
that if you should ever need
help, there's no better place
to go than El Camino Hospital.
They saved my life,
and I'm very grateful.
Hang in there.

What after Paris attacks? 13 November 2015 - Politis #04




highlights video toughness tree in the
morning since time and for personal
reasons to be hard for me to sleep and I
was very surprised because when I woke
up I saw my phone and lots of messages
saying I okay I'll gay Paris has been
under direct just night and it has been
massive look at this message and budget
plan so strong I'm seriously injured
Lancs thought as fast as possible
slandering everybody 1914 straw quick
I'm very shocked I hope there's a dozen
of its ok I really hope the worst is
that i think is a is going to make a
steer I mean this is peretz and ice for
sodium though it's going to be very good
for the gun and knife that ship I guess
it is yeah I guess most of the people
are going to be horrified that some
might think wow I like the way down to
the French kind of cool you know I might
join france has been attacked for the
second time now it cannot tolerate
except that it has to find strategy last
time the french government decided to
put a soldier in front of its potential
targets you know and damage and to kind
of act like to get some stuff from
people of all males this is not a
strategy to have less depressing things
like when French bastards are dying or
stuff friends has to be less passive in
front of injustice fence has to be clear
with the Americans when they do such
things they didn't grab friends must act
for the people of Gaza it must help
Syrian refuges design samples but
friends has really been meaning to fight
against injustice in terms of strategy
though France has also to make cash
understands that it has more to lose
when it does then it has to win I do not
know the technical military matters but
I think this is really my opinion that I
think in terms of strategy friends
should consider making a swift we are
under attack on a highly valuable target
was a semi state so that Islamist bases
wow ok we have a couple of sliders but
we really lost big stuff here and then
come back make some troops come back to
you linden there and I think people can
understand that had just been twice and
that I cannot stay there doing nothing
it has to retaliate for the other foods
have to accept that soldiers are going
to die but European opinions in general
are not ready for tonight House meeting
