Preventing a heart attack involves a combination of healthy lifestyle choices, medical management, and regular monitoring.

🏥 Lifestyle Modifications

• Follow a heart-healthy diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins while limiting saturated fats, salt, and sugar.
• Engage in regular moderate exercise, such as walking, for at least 150 minutes per week as tolerated.
• Avoid smoking and manage weight to reduce strain on the heart.

💊 Medical Management

• Control blood pressure, cholesterol, and diabetes with prescribed medications if needed.
• Low-dose aspirin (such as Ecosprin) may be recommended by your doctor to reduce blood clot risk, but only take it under medical supervision due to possible side effects.

🩺 Regular Health Monitoring

• Schedule routine check-ups to monitor heart health and manage risk factors effectively.
• Regular blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar tests help guide treatment.

🩺 Recognizing Symptoms

• Be aware of early signs of a heart attack like chest pain, shortness of breath, or sudden weakness, and seek immediate medical care if they occur.

🩺 Specialty Consultation

• Consult a cardiologist for personalized risk assessment and management, especially if you have existing heart conditions or multiple risk factors.
