Health and Disease Health defined by the World Health Organisation,
is a state of mental, social as well as physical being.
Disease being the opposite, is a hindrance in the well being of our body that affects the functioning of organs
and organ systems.
Thus, the relationship between health and disease can be thought of as the state of entire
well being and not just the absence of disease.
Human health and diseases is an important topic that needs to be
studied for a better understanding of our body.

Heart Attack :
A heart attack occurs when an artery that sends blood and oxygen to the heart is blocked. Fatty,
cholesterol-containing deposits build up over time, forming plaques in the heart's arteries. If a
plaque
ruptures, a blood clot can form. The clot can block arteries, causing a heart attack. During a heart
attack,
a lack of blood flow causes the tissue in the heart muscle to die.
A heart attack is also called a myocardial infarction.
Prompt treatment is needed for a heart attack to prevent death. Call 911 or emergency medical help
if you
think you might be having a heart attack.
Symptoms of a heart attack vary. Some people have mild symptoms. Others have severe symptoms. Some
people
have no symptoms.
Common heart attack symptoms include:
Chest pain that may feel like pressure, tightness, pain, squeezing or aching
Pain or discomfort that spreads to the shoulder, arm, back, neck, jaw, teeth or sometimes
the upper belly
Cold sweat
Fatigue
Heartburn or indigestion
Lightheadedness or sudden dizziness
Nausea
Shortness of breath
Women may have atypical symptoms such as brief or sharp pain felt in the neck, arm or back.
Sometimes, the
first symptom sign of a heart attack is sudden cardiac arrest.
Some heart attacks strike suddenly. But many people have warning signs and symptoms hours, days or
weeks in
advance. Chest pain or pressure (angina) that keeps happening and doesn't go away with rest may be
an early
warning sign. Angina is caused by a temporary decrease in blood flow to the heart.
Corona Virus :
Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
Most people infected with the virus will experience mild to moderate respiratory illness and recover without
requiring special treatment. However, some will become seriously ill and require medical attention. Older
people and those with underlying medical conditions like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic
respiratory disease, or cancer are more likely to develop serious illness. Anyone can get sick with COVID-19
and become seriously ill or die at any age.
