Query :
Sir,what is MI? How does it develop?
Couple of yrs back immediately after having my dinner i felt a pinching irritation in my food pipe with no discomfort of any kind. I was subjected to ECG at a local nursing home who declared it to be MI. There after i was advised complete rest and after couple of days i had no other discomfort/pain or guiddiness or perspiration except stomach disorder. My family approached another N.home who admitted me and treated me for having had a minor attack. My question is when i had no symptoms of any pain/sweating/giddiness etc which r normally encounterd - what was it all ?? Nothing can be said about what all has been done in the past but just need ur response to it. Thanx

Answer :
MI - means Myocardial Infarction again meaning damage to heart muscles due to lack of blood circulation to the heart itself, which is filled with blood, supplying the entire body. It is a pity of poverty amongst plenty.
When coronary (blood vessels nourishing the heart) arteries are clogged due to narrowing of blood vessels or a clot develops, this catastrophe puts an apostrophe or even a full stop to life. Lucky you have survived while everyone may not !!! Be Happy, don't worry. Diabetics and people with certain other diseases - may not have the triad of symptoms (pain,sweating or giddiness) as their nerves are benumbed.Changes in your lifestyle, positive thinking and a little bit of mental exercise even as your body also does it - may avoid another MI by providing enough.
