Pollution has increased a lot in Delhi. The Air Quality Index was above 400 on Wednesday morning. It is considered as serious. In this situation, doctors recommend that you stay indoors as much as possible. Turn off all outside activity. Due to this serious pollution situation, the number of patients with asthma and respiratory diseases in government hospitals has increased by 20 percent in the last few days. Keep these important things in mind to avoid pollution.

– If pollution is in serious category, postpone outside work for a few days and avoid going outside – If you want to go outside, first check pollution level. According to that, plan out – go wearing masks and glasses of good quality. Wearing a mask will make breathing easier and glasses will help prevent eye irritation caused by pollution – keep the nose and eyes wet with water after a while. Due to this, the particles of pollution will not enter the body.

Pregnant women should avoid getting out of the house and also keep masks in the house as well. – In many places in the village or countryside, women burn wood for cooking and blow the pipes, do not do this. – Do not make or burn such thing in the house, which causes smoke because it spreads pollution in the house. – Try not to exceed 10 levels of pollution in the house.

If the pollution level is more than 150, then stop the children from playing outside – Do not let the children leave the school with bikes or scooters in the morning. Use the bus or metro. Pollution particles enter the body directly while going by bike or scooter – If there is more pollution, the child’s eye becomes red or there is eye irritation then see him immediately to the eye doctor – Children when out of school or outside If you come home from somewhere, wash their eyes and nose with lukewarm water – children’s skin is soft. Skin-related problems can occur when pollution occurs.

Have you ever thought that you may have a heart attack but you do not even know about it. You may have felt strange to hear this, but it is true. This type of heart attack is called silent heart attack and its symptoms do not come out open or emerging. For example, when a 70-year-old woman had a heart attack and the doctors examined her at the hospital, it was found out that it was not her first heart attack. Tests conducted to investigate the damage done to Hart revealed that Hart also had some dead muscles due to a previous heart attack that had not been identified.

When, why and how SMI is a common heart attack, it is like a warning that the patient needs to change his lifestyle so that cardiac risk can be reduced. For this, along with diet and exercise, necessary medicines are also given. Some studies conducted in Iceland and Finland in the past have tried to find out how SMI ie silent myocardial infarction occurs, when it occurs and what and how it can result.

SMI was held in 1322 out of 5869 people
In July 2019, a study published in the journal JAMA Cardiology included autopsy reports of 5 thousand 869 women and men. The average age of all of them was 65 years and they all died suddenly in northern Finland. Out of 5869 people, evidence of silent heart attack was found in 1 thousand 322 people and there was no coronary heart disease in any of these people. According to the Authors of the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, people who have silent heart attack are unaware of its symptoms so they are unable to control their physical exertion.

There are some mild symptoms that should not be ignored.According to
Northwestern University cardiologist Dr. Robert O Bono, a silent heart attack is not always silent, but it also shows some symptoms such as feeling of chest discomfort, heartburn. Dizziness, shortness of breath, etc. Such things happen to a large number of people in the coming days, but people ignore it as a problem of minor gas or acid. Especially in women, such symptoms are unclear or unknown and they do not even know that they have had a heart attack.
