WHY SHOULD BLACKOUTS BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY?

Blackouts, defined as temporary loss of consciousness, can harbor many different problems at the bottom. Doctor pointed out that fainting, which can develop especially due to heart disease, carries a vital risk…

Cardiac arrest, sudden drop in blood pressure and fainting that occurs with the loss of strength of the November, is a condition that can be seen at any age. Cardiologist Assoc. Dr. Although it is not a disease alone, this finding, which is used to detect many diseases, is very important, especially in terms of heart disease, was said.

Our Cardiologist Assoc. specialist doctor in Turkey noted that if the problem is not detected in fainting, which can lead to loss of life, serious consequences can occur, “therefore, in the case of fainting, it is very important that the patient first goes to a heart health specialist. Because it is possible to minimize the risk by taking early precautions”.

IF YOU HAVE PALPITATIONS BEFORE FAINTING

If a person experiences heart palpitations without completely losing consciousness, fainting is necessarily of heart origin. If the patient experiences dizziness during and after palpitations, it is necessarily considered to be a rhythm disorder. At this point, it is necessary to remember that there is a permanent cure for the rhythm disorder. But if left untreated, it can have consequences that can lead to loss of life. Therefore, if patients experience complaints such as palpitations, dizziness, dark eyes before fainting, they should definitely consult a heart specialist. At the moment of fainting, the person temporarily loses consciousness. Sudden cardiac arrest, blood pressure drops with all the muscles in the body loses strength and fainting becomes November. Although it is a short-term condition, it is necessary to consider it.

BEWARE OF REPETITIVE FAINTING

Complaints such as chest pain and shortness of breath are also signs of heart-related problems. But it should not be forgotten that without these symptoms, only fainting will also be an important symptom. Moreover, if the faints recur, this can lead to worse consequences. Therefore, first of all, causes that may be serious should be eliminated. After this process, it may take a little more time to make another diagnosis. The important thing here is to save the patient’s life in the first place.

MOST IMPORTANT MESSAGE WE WILL GIVE HERE

A fainting can always be serious. 30 percent of those who experience fainting experience repeated fainting for the first time, and 10 percent. Decadence is more common in patients aged 15-30. Fainting attacks, which are of heart origin, are usually recurrent and carry a vital risk. This is why every patient who faints should consult a cardiologist. In this way, fainting, which is of heart origin and can carry a life risk, can be detected early and intervened without being late. Some of the fainting is caused by rhythm disorders, such as a drop in heart rate or too fast. This group of patients carries a 50 percent risk of life if left untreated. But with a pacemaker or different methods of treatment, it is possible to reduce this risk to zero.

.
CORRECT INTERVENTION MATTERS

Fainting can occur in all age groups in society in Turkey, and in this case, the right intervention is very important. The best method that can be done at the time of fainting is to lay the patient on his back and lift his feet up. In this way, the patient’s blood circulation in the brain is accelerated. It should be noted that fainting is not just of heart origin. Because some neurological causes, blood sugar drops, and psychological causes can also cause fainting, the underlying cause must be determined.
