3.819 -> Let's look at the symptoms of coronary
6.47 -> heart disease, because there are a lot of
8.059 -> symptoms. The first one we know of
9.32 -> course is tightness, in the
11.48 -> chest. That's when you see, you know, in
13.28 -> the movies, right. People have ... Now just so
16.46 -> we know because I think sometimes people
18.05 -> don't know when this is happening. -- right--
19.97 -> They might think that they have like
22.37 -> some little acid reflux or something,
24.71 -> like, How do you know difference? >It can be very
27.2 -> hard to know the difference Cynthia to
29.18 -> be honest. And you know, when in doubt
32.559 -> assume the the worse is a reasonable
35.42 -> maxim, but tightness or pressure in the
39.17 -> chest that does not go away quickly with
41.749 -> rest or that is severe, especially when
44.329 -> it is related to exertion. Those are very
46.46 -> classic signs and symptoms of heart
48.98 -> disease. Exertional symptoms such as
53.089 -> shortness of breath, weakness and fatigue,
55.309 -> these can also be these signs of
57.89 -> decreased blood flow to the heart muscle
59.539 -> and angina. It's very common,
61.94 -> although not essential, that the
63.71 -> discomfort that you feel in your chest
65.03 -> can radiate to the jaw to the neck and
68.21 -> to the back. >So you're gonna feel all of
70.34 -> those or you could just feel one or two?
71.99 -> or is it... >Many people can feel just one
75.5 -> or two and very often for a particular
78.11 -> patient their symptom is gonna be their
81.11 -> symptom for life. So let's say someone's
82.88 -> had a heart attack they presented with
84.68 -> chest tightness, "felt like an elephant
86.93 -> sitting on my chest doc". We take care of
89.299 -> the problem they have heart surgery, put
90.71 -> them in medicine, they get a stent. Then
92.53 -> six months later they say: "you know doc
94.759 -> had a different pain it was a sharp pain
96.5 -> it went away in seconds is that my heart
98.24 -> too" and and usually I'll tell them your
99.829 -> heart generally will give you the same
101.24 -> signal for the same problem. So everyone
104.27 -> will have different symptoms but
106.159 -> generally your symptoms for angina if
108.5 -> you ever have it will be the same
110.45 -> throughout the course of your life.
