CHEST PAIN FACTS - PART 1

 

The image above, shows a person who works for 
a very demanding boss. In spite of her efforts to
complete her tasks, her boss continues to push her
to her limit. This is stressful and can cause chest
pain or discomfort.

Mrs.K is beginning to have chest discomfort. Her
heart seems to be having funny little beats from the
stress. These are uncomfortable and sometimes cause
chest pain.


The heart is always at work. Even though this organ is
about the size of a folded fist, it has a tremendous amount
of work to do. 

The heart never stops beating. If the heart stops beating,
the body will not be able to function.

Simple advice - be heart smart!
Avoid rich foods late at night, as digestion is slow
and the heart may not be able to cope with the increased
workload.
