It makes sense to go to the hospital when kicked in fear, but terror is not a plan. Taking care of your heart is not about a sudden journey to get an ECG. This is the relationship going on with your body, especially your heart.

Therefore, instead of reacting in a crowd, let’s stop and talk that you should really pay attention.

Myth: No ‘right age’

Over the years, we have been told that the serious heart examine is something to consider once when you kill your 40s or even late for your 50s. But the reality on the ground, especially in India, has a different story.

A major interventional cardiologist Dr. in New Delhi. “The fact is not denied that panic is very poor for good health. Active awareness is needed by all of us,” says Rahul Gupta.

According to him, the queue in Mysuru Hospital is a symptom of collective fear, but the construction we should do is a regular, age-appointed screening culture. “We used to say that there are 40 magic numbers, but I am looking for important issues in patients in the early 30s. For South Asian people, the clock starts to last soon.”

We asked the cardiologist what should the smart timeline look like? “Think of it as less as a single alarm vine and more as a series of gentle reminders,” he told us.

Dr. M. Sudhakar Rao, Advisor – Cardiology, in Manipal Hospital Sarjapur Road, says that while a regular heart test is usually recommended for healthy adults annually (once has crossed 30 years), there is no real age to achieve this.

“For such patients, they should start examining their heart before. The important thing is to hear what your heart is saying …” Dr. Rao says.

In the 20s: install a base line

This is not a decade for stress tests, but this is the right time to learn your basic principles. During a regular physical examination, take care to check your blood pressure.

It is important that you are aware of your family cardio history. Does your family run heart disease, high cholesterol or diabetes? These are basic pieces of your personal health puzzle. You do not need to be worried, but just be aware, Dr. Deepak Mehrotra warns a cardiac surgeon from Noida.

In the 30s: numbers begin

This is the age when doctors believe that things start to become a little more serious.

“This is a good decade to achieve your first baseline lipid profile test. It is a simple blood test that measures your cholesterol level (good HDL, poor LDL, and triglycerides). If the number is normal, and you don’t have any other risk factor, you don’t have another requirement for a few years,” Do you not need to change your wake-up call immediately.

Access to 40: Non-Parliamentary check-in

Oh! That is the matter.

If you have not yet fully examined the heart, then at the age of 40 you have a complete non-perfect appointment with a broad heart examination. It should join:

• A wide lipid profile is required
• A blood sugar test (fasting and HBA1C) is recommended every two months.
• An electrocardiogram (ECG) is also a necessary at this age to check your heart rhythm and electrical activity (do it every six months)
• Discuss the treadmill stress test with your doctor, especially if you have a risk factor or a history of cardiac disturbance in your family
• Remember: Tests are not about finding something that is wrong. It is about creating a wide snapshot of your heart health or a cardiac horoscope, which can be compared against future tests.

Going beyond

While age-based guidelines are very important, your body also gives you its schedule. Learning to listen (what your heart is saying) is your biggest skill.

What should you pay attention? Dr. A list of Mehrotra is ready:

“If you observe the curved after climbing the stairs flight, it’s one thing, but feeling breathless while tying your shovel is another. Listen carefully and recover immediately without any narrowness,” they say.

Chest discomfort is another warning signal. Dr. Gupta explains, “Forget a dramatic, chest-clutch heart attack film Clich. It can feel pressure, squeeze, or even indigestion that does not easily go away,” Dr. Gupta says.

Unexplain, and heavy fatigue is a certain-shot signal that some amsies. We all get tired. But the fatigue related to cardiac is different. It is bone-deep tiredness that is not better with rest.

Dr. Gupta provides a great way to frame it. “Your body has its own language. After work fatigue is a common dialect. However, intensive fatigue that prevents you from doing simple daily work, which you can easily do last month is an important new dialect that you should pay attention to. It’s time to find a doctor.”

The queue started with fear at Jaidev Hospital in Mysuru, but let’s hope that it will end in education.

Do you also need to stand in the queue of the hospital? No; Instead, take a quiet, active step towards knowing the health of your heart. Know history, know your numbers, and know when to pick up the phone and schedule the conversation with your doctor.
