What is heart dieses?

Overview

Heart disease describes a range of conditions that affect your heart. Heart diseases include:

Blood vessel disease, such as coronary artery disease
Heart rhythm problems (arrhythmias)
Heart defects you're born with (congenital heart defects)
Heart valve disease,
Disease of the heart muscle
Heart infection

Many forms of heart disease can be prevented or treated with healthy lifestyle choices.

What are the symptoms of coronary artery disease?

You may not know you have coronary artery disease since you may not have symptoms at first. The buildup of plaque in your arteries takes years to decades. But as your arteries narrow, you may notice mild symptoms that indicate your heart is pumping harder to deliver oxygen-rich blood to your body. The most common symptoms are chest pain or shortness of breath, especially after light physical activity like walking upstairs, but even at rest.

Sometimes you won’t know you have coronary artery disease until you have a heart attack. Symptoms of a heart attack include:

Chest discomfort (angina) described as heaviness, tightness, pressure, aching, burning, numbness, fullness, squeezing or a dull ache. The discomfort can also spread to or only be felt in your left shoulder, arms, neck, back or jaw.
Feeling tired.
Dizziness, lightheadedness.
Nausea.
Weakness.

Symptoms of a heart attack in women can be slightly different and include:

Discomfort or pain in the shoulders, neck, abdomen (belly) and/or back.
Feeling of indigestion or heartburn.
Unexplained anxiety.
Cold sweat.

Almonds

When heart pain occurs after eating, acid reflux or gastroesophageal reflux disease may be to blame. Both conditions may cause intense chest pain. Many people claim that eating a handful of almonds or drinking almond milk when heartburn strikes eases symptoms.

The evidence is anecdotal and there’s not enough scientific data to support this claim. Almonds are an alkaline food in theory, they may help to soothe and neutralize acid in the esophagus.

On the other hand, almonds are high in fat. For some people, fat triggers acid reflux. Fatty foods may cause the lower esophageal sphincter to relax and allow acid to flow backwards into the esophagus.

Apple cider vinegar

Drinking a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar with a glass of water before meals or when heart pain strikes is another home remedy for acid reflux. There’s little scientific evidence to show that apple cider vinegar eases heartburn. Still, many people swear it works.

Some people experience acid reflux because their stomach doesn’t produce enough acid. In this case, apple cider vinegar may help by increasing the amount of acid in the stomach. The compound that gives apple cider vinegar its tang is acetic acid. It may help break down food and support digestion.

Apple cider vinegar doesn’t cause side effects in most people. However, it can thin your blood and should be used with caution if you take blood thinners.

Drinking a hot drink.

Gas is a common cause of chest pain. A hot or warm drink may help rev up your digestive system and ease gas and bloating. Hot hibiscus tea, in particular, supports digestion and heart health. Research shows hibiscus helps lower blood pressure and reduces cholesterol and triglycerides. Hibiscus is generally recognized as safe to consume.
