Heart attack symptoms: Recently a new study has come to light, which claims that ear pain and heaviness can also be 'silent' symptoms of heart attack.

Heart diseases are increasing rapidly in India and their symptoms are often ignored. But recently a new study has come out, which claims that ear pain and heaviness can also be a 'silent' symptom of a heart attack. This shocking revelation has been made in research published by the US National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI).

According to this study, blood clots formed during a heart attack not only cause blockage in the heart's veins, but these clots can also reach the ear veins. This can cause problems like ear pain, heaviness, or hearing loss.

Research done on 500 patients

Researchers studied more than 500 heart patients and found that 12% of the patients who had a heart attack had ear-related problems. Many of these people experienced ear pain, while some had problems of heaviness or hearing loss.

Expert opinion

According to the lead researcher of this study, Dr. David Miller, ear pain or heaviness can be a possible symptom of a heart attack, especially when it occurs suddenly and without any apparent reason. In such a situation, it is important to contact a doctor immediately. However, he also said that ear pain or heaviness is not the only sign of a heart attack. It can also be a symptom of other problems like ear infection, sinus or migraine. Therefore, it is necessary to consult a doctor to know the exact cause.

This study also showed that many times traditional symptoms of heart attack such as chest pain or shortness of breath are not there. In such a situation, it becomes important to pay attention to unseen symptoms like ear pain and heaviness. Especially in the elderly and diabetic patients, this can be a sign of heart attack. Dr. Miller says that it is important to increase awareness about heart attack and inform people about its hidden symptoms, so that treatment can be done at the right time.
