Mild Heart Attack Symptoms

Sometimes there is a formation of fatty plaque in some parts of the heart and the supply of blood to that part get restricted and due to which supply of oxygen also get reduced and the heart muscles of that portion become inactive and in turn become the cause of heart attack in that person.

Alcoholic Cardiomyopathy

Alcoholic Cardiomyopathy

Large number of people are falling victim to heart disease. One of the main reasons of the increase in the number of heart patient is the changing lifestyle. Various types of heart disease are effecting people in large number. The symptoms of each type of heart disease is different. One of the most common types of heart disease is Alcoholic Cardiomyopathy. It is a disease of the heart muscle. This is caused when the heart muscle becomes weak. Cardiomyopathy or heart muscle disease is a major public health problem. There are 3 million people in United States currently living with cardiomyopathy. Almost 400,000 people are diagnosed with heart disease each year. This disease has become a prime factor in contributing quarter million deaths in the world. In the past few years the incidence of cardiomyopathy is increasing like anything. Many complications of the disease can be overcome if the patient understand their disease. The patient suffering from Alcoholic Cardiomyopathy must take active participation in treating the disease. The heart muscle become very weak in most cases of alcoholic cardiomyopathy.

There are many disorders which cause numerous types of cardiomyopathy. But whatever may be the type ultimately the same thing happen which is the inefficiency of the heart muscle. It reduces the capacity of the heart to meet the needs of the body. The heart failure happens when the heart can no longer pump enough blood. The cases of Alcoholic Cardiomyopathy is increasing day by day. The main cause of cardiomyopathy is the coronary artery disease. The damage to the heart can be on the region of the heart muscles. One must get themselves diagnosed properly. Go for a proper diet and god exercise which can help the patient to avoid certain complications. As alcoholic cardiomyopathy is caused by excessive consumption of alcohol for long time. It is caused by the direct toxic effects of alcohol. In that case the heart become inefficient and the heart become unable to pump the blood. Not only heart is effected by the Alcoholic Cardiomyopathy but other body parts can also be effected by this. The symptoms of alcoholic cardiomyopathy are decreased alertness or concentration, Shortness of breath, decreased urine output, loss of appetite; ankle, feet, and leg swelling; cough containing mucus, irregular or rapid pulse, breathing difficulty while lying down, overall swelling, weakness, fatigue, faintness, etc. The moment patient is experiencing these symptoms it become necessary to take him to the hospital.

One of the most important treatment for alcoholic cardiomyopathy is to improve the lifestyle and take care of the diet. Stop consuming alcohol. The commonly used medications must be used daily like beta blockers, diuretics and ACE inhibitors. The patient who are suffering from congestive heart failure must o for a surgical insertion. The patients of alcoholic cardiomyopathy must frequently consult the doctor and must continue with the medications. With latest drugs and technology coming up now one can easily diagonise the alcoholic cardiomyopathy.

Pinched nerve symptoms

Pinched nerve symptoms may result after injury or damage to a nerve and can occur in any part of the human body. Pinched nerve may result from direct pressure or compression on a nerve. Nerves are some organs that transmit information from the brain in our body and from our body in the brain. Nerves are distributed throughout entire the body and they are of two types: motor nerves and sensory nerves. Motor nerves allow the brain to send information to the body and command organs of the body. Sensory nerves transmit information from the body to the brain for processing and then to give an answer. Thus, patients may feel pain, numbness or burning feeling. This may be some pinched nerve symptoms.

Pinched nerve symptoms and locations

Pinched nerve symptoms depend on the location of nerves in human body. These appear in the part of the body that is affected. There are some pinched nerve symptoms that are common regardless of the nerves. This are pain (patient feels pain in the region innervated by that nerve), burning feeling (patients complain of burning sensation in the affected region) and change in symptoms based on body position (if the patient changes position the pain may disappear). Another pinched nerve symptoms are fecal incontinence (patient can control the stool) and urinary incontinence (inability to control urination). Also may appear decreased sensation in the affected area or numbness (patients feel affected region with tingling, feel that region asleep) and weakness (loss of strength). Feeling of weakness may occur in the whole body or a part of the body.

Other locations of pinched nerve symptoms

This may occur in the upper limb and can be caused by carpal tunnel syndrome (compression of the median nerve) or by cubital tunnel syndrome (compression of the cubital nerve). They are two nerves that innervate the upper limbs. Sometimes the pain may be to the neck and then the pinched nerve symptoms appear in the arm. If the nerve affected is in the low back, the pain can usually down to the leg. Usually can identify which nerve is affected because of where the pain occurs. One of the affected nerves is the sciatic nerve and this is a disease called sciatica.
When a person has some of the symptoms that have been discussed above, he must go to the doctor to diagnose a possible pinched nerve. The doctor will begin by asking the patient about the symptoms, work history and family medical history. Then the doctor will exam the affected part of the body involved for more information. Depending on these results the doctor can do additional tests.  If the pain is on the back or in the neck, the patient must make an X-ray of the spine for a possible differential diagnosis of arthritis.
Pinched nerve symptoms may be treated with rest or ice applied to the affected region. Various medications can be used for treatment of pinched nerve. Anti-inflammatory medications may reduce the inflammation. Another treatment for pinched nerve symptoms is physical therapy and as an extreme solution is surgery
Pinched nerve symptoms may persist and can give severe complications. These are peripheral neuropathy, carpal tunnel syndrome or cubital tunnel syndrome and tennis elbow (commonly found in tennis players and that is a condition in which the outer part of the elbow becomes painful).

              In conclusion pinched nerve symptoms may appear in different situations and patients with  this condition can be totally recovered.
