survive a heart attack

​​This article will take you one minute to read, and it could be the difference between life and death

There is no way to know when we might have a heart attack. Could be right now or tonight, but if in our medical history there are things that indicate a predisposition for heart attacks, we should be prepared to survive one, just in case.

​Signs of a heart attack
You should be experiencing a piercing pain in your chest, and it will expand to your jaw and either arm (most commonly the left).

Keep calm, and do not lose hope. Surviving a heart attack while you’re alone will depend on your ability to recognize these telltale signs. If you feel that your heart isn’t beating correctly, and you feel dizzy enough to faint, you only have around 10 seconds to lose consciousness.

The loss of sexuality in a man

What in woman is menopause, in men it is called andropause. If you are 45 years or older, you will likely begin to lose production of testosterone, the male hormone that is responsible for keeping you sexually active.

Men’s changes are not as noticeable as that of women and often differ depending on whether you exercise or if you have adequate food. If you have suffered bad health or illnesses, such as mumps, this can affect your sexual health and accelerate their andropause.

Control your behavior

We often live without thinking that our behavior is explosive. In most cases, we think we are right, and what is worse is that most of the time we lose reason because of our aggressive behavior. We are capable of ruining our lives and those of others by fighting over a parking space, for example, as if it were our property.

Self-control is the key to avoiding acting in a manner which you will later have to repent.

High Blood Pressure

Blood pressure is the force behind the blood circulating through the body. When you need more pressure than normal, it is called high blood pressure. It is important to understand how it works and what are the consequences, as many times we suffer from it and we do not give it due importance until it’s too late.

We can compare it with the water traveling through the pipes of a building, which requires some pressure to get water to all the apartments. Now, what happens when there is too much water pressure in the pipe? Say the water pressure required is 90, and suddenly this increases to 150, what happens when we turn on the shower?
