  What are the warning signs of a
heart attack?

Heart attacks are a serious medical emergency that require immediate attention. It's important to recognize the warning signs of a heart attack and seek medical help right away. Here are some common symptoms of a heart attack:

Chest pain or discomfort: Most heart attacks involve discomfort in the center or left side of the chest. The pain can feel like pressure, squeezing, fullness, or pain.

  1. Upper body pain or discomfort: Pain or discomfort can also occur in one or both arms, the back, neck, jaw, or stomach.

  2. Shortness of breath: Feeling short of breath, even when at rest or with minimal exertion.

  3. Cold sweats, nausea, or lightheadedness: Feeling lightheaded or dizzy, or experiencing cold sweats or nausea.

  4. Fatigue: Feeling unusually tired, even if you've been resting.

It's important to note that not everyone experiences the same symptoms of a heart attack, and some people may not experience any symptoms at all. If you or someone you know is experiencing any of these symptoms, call emergency services right away. The sooner medical help is received, the better the chances of survival and recovery.

There are several factors that can increase the risk of having a heart attack, including high blood pressure, high cholesterol, smoking, diabetes, and a family history of heart disease. Making lifestyle changes such as quitting smoking, eating a healthy diet, exercising regularly, and managing stress can help reduce the risk of heart attack. Regular check-ups with a healthcare provider can also help identify and manage any risk factors.

  Ce lundi 1er mai 2023 est, comme tous les 1er mai depuis 1948, un   jour férié . Il s’agit en effet de la Fête du   Travail . En   France , elle se confond avec la journée internationale des travailleurs. Mais contrairement à ce que l’on pourrait penser, l’origine de cette fête n’est pas française, mais américaine, et remonte au 1er mai 1884,   comme l’indique le ministère du Travail, du Plein Emploi et de l’Insertion . Des États-Unis à l’Europe Ce jour-là, les  syndicats  des travailleurs américains étaient entrés en revendication afin d’obtenir la journée de huit heures. Ils avaient choisi le 1er mai, car cette date correspondait alors au premier jour de l’année comptable des  entreprises . Finalement, le 1er mai 1886, 200.000 travailleurs américains avaient obtenu la journée de huit heures, mais pas les autres, entraînant de grandes mobilisations partout dans le pays et de violents affrontements à  Chic...

  Ahead of a complex of rain and thunderstorms moving in Saturday night and Sunday morning from the Gulf of Mexico, the National Weather Service has issued a Tornado Watch for a 10-county portion of Central Florida, including Osceola. A Tornado Watch means that conditions are favorable for a tornado activity and formation, so residents should be aware of conditions and be ready to take shelter if necessary. This is different from a Tornado Warning, which is notice that a tornado or strong storm that could include one has been confirmed by weather watchers or radar. Per the National Weather Service in Melbourne:  An upper level disturbance will track across east central Florida ahead of an approaching "cool front" on Sunday. Later this afternoon, scattered to numerous showers and lightning storms are expected to develop, before weakening and pushing offshore during the evening. Some storms may be strong to severe. After a lull in the activity, another round is forecast to ...

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The shortest player on the   Edmonton Oilers   roster had their biggest goal Saturday night. Kailer Yamamoto scored with 3:02 remaining for his first point of the series as the Oilers beat the  Los Angeles Kings  5-4 in Game 6 to advance to the second round of the Stanley Cup playoffs. In a series dominated by superstars Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl, it was the Oilers' fourth line that played a pivotal role. Besides Yamamoto, Klim Kostin had two goals and an assist. It didn’t go in the net early in the series but he stuck with it. He stuck with it and eventually ended up scoring the series winner,” Oilers coach Jay Woodcroft said. Yamamoto — who lived in Los Angeles for three years and played youth hockey for the Jr. Kings — got possession of the puck deep in the offensive zone, skated around and then sent a wrist shot through traffic and past the right shoulder and stick of Kings goaltender Joonas Korpisalo. “Being in this position it's prett...
