Is there any medicine that can keep the heart healthy? Because of unhealthy lifestyle, bad habits, we ruin the original perfection since born and get cardiovascular diseases such as Stroke, Myocardial Infarction, Blood vessel occlusion.

CarePlus Cardiologists take care of your heart, thoroughly advise on the benefits of maintaining a healthy life rather than a prescription as following:

  • Routine check-ups: Through the examination, the Doctor can know your health status, give appropriate advice on lifestyle, exercise and diet according to your heart condition, especially when you are young and strong.
  • Regular physical activity: Keeping the habit of doing regular exercise or playing sports benefits the cardiovascular system and helps you stay in a positive mental state.
  • Don't smoke and avoid passive smoking: Tobacco is the number 1 enemy of cardiovascular diseases. If you are a smoker, quit immediately, no matter your age. Contact a smoking cessation specialist to help you finish this bad habit. 
  • Acknowledge family history: Having a close relative with heart disease (e.g., heart attack, coronary stent, stroke, or arrhythmia) increases your risk. That means you must prioritize adjusting for the remaining cardiovascular risk factors such as maintaining a proper weight, exercising regularly, not smoking, and eating nutritious meals.
  • Manage stress: Stress will increase heart rate and blood pressure - factors that damage artery walls. Learning to manage stress, practising slow deep breathing exercises can help you release this feeling of heaviness. Practice maintaining a healthy and balanced mental life.
  • Weight control: beneficial, especially when you turn 40. The secret here is to stick to a healthy diet and exercise in moderation.
  • Check your blood pressure: You should measure and know your blood pressure readings at least twice a year. Anyone's blood pressure evolves gradually over time, so just because your blood pressure was standard years ago doesn't mean you're unlikely to have high blood pressure this year. Fasting blood sugar test: The older you get, the more prone to disorder your metabolism becomes. Therefore, it is advisable to check once a year.
  • Don't be subjective with snoring: At least 1 in 5 adults has mild sleep apnea. People with sleep apnea are more likely to have high blood pressure, obesity, and other cardiovascular complications.
  • Warning signs of heart attack and stroke: you should talk to your doctor to learn more about distinguishing specific symptoms.  Especially for women, cardiovascular manifestations are sometimes difficult to differentiate.

Finally, notify your Cardiologist immediately if you feel any unusual symptoms.
