heart attacks in the workplace

am going to past out, my blood pressure goes up also and it also contributes to the diziness. but when i go out from the workplace everythings return to normal. can anybody have some tips to help me cope with this.

You can wait until the need arises and then mention it. They do not need warning to make accomodations. I would not mention it in the workplace unless you have to. I did and got ousted. All of a sudden the writing I had been doing for months was no longer any good, and that is the 'reason' they gave for ousting me. My co-workers were great, it was just the bosses.

You also do not want to lose your job and you must worry about your flat and your child. So whenevr you see this allow yourself to let go of the times you hesitated in doing anything. You were smart in asking for help. I also want you then to let go of the times you almost gave in or entertaoned doing it and had to tell convince yourself that you may not be an unreliable provider for your child. How does the boss feel about you and/or treat you? How long have you worked for him?

Let's put it this way, Everything is related. If you have a bulging disc, then you have a pinched nerve. If the nerve is pinched it sends a message to the muscle to tighten up. Therefore you end up with a tension headache. If you are uptight, your muscles tighten and cause it. If you have a pinched nerve, same thing. It is a shame you have had to suffer so much. Work place injuries are the worst. They can victimize you over and over.

I wear glasses and my eyesight is much weaker in the right eye then the left one. Is this something serious?

lately i get constant pain up and down my arms and into my shoulders then center of my chest hurts and it feels heavy but not real bad it kinda feels like heart burn. the pain in my arms will only be in one arm at a time. the past 2 days the pain in arm and chest comes and goes..and i've read that in women symptoms are different sometimes than in men..im worried because the pain is becoming more frequent than it has been..

But after my last attack, about 3 months ago, the doctors are now thinking that my body is trying to reject the 3 stents the have pkaced in me. This last attack was pretty serious, and we are planning to have a defibri;ator implanted later this month. One of my concerns though is not so much about the defibrilator, but why can't just cut out those stents and bypass them? I also have another blocked artery (blocked about 60 to 70%), so why can't they bypass that also?

if his workplace has dust chemicals it could be linked to a respitory issue.is it a temp.controlled area? is it in the morning mostly? it my be a simple fix like eating a good breakfest.the reason they removed his gallbladder is thats the symptoms for a gallbladder problem.did this start when he first started the job? does he have a weight issue? if he has to bend over alot it may be reflux.

The attacks are sometimes preceded by numbness in his face and arm, causes his eye to squint up and water. The attacks always happen in the morning. He has vomiting, diarrhea, severe abdominal pain, sweating, shaking, writhing, and his heart rate drops into the 40s. It doesn't make sense to me that his heart rate drops that far when he is in pain, it should go up... Any insight or help is appreciated.

i have been taking 2 mg daily for the last 6 months and it helps me relax in a hostile workplace . it helps me concentrate better and think better as i am more relaxed and dont get panic attacks when my boss becomes hostile and abusive , no other drug has helped me like xanax .

s often a misconception that the heart is on the left side of the chest and therefore when you have pain there it must be the heart. A good portion of the heart is actually towards the middle of the chest. Often, pain on the left side of the chest actually turns out to be related to the stomache or esophagus, as that's where they connect. What I suggest is you go to see your doctor, that way he/she can give you a physcial exam to rule out any medical issues.

In one way he was fortunate because his heart attacks were considered mild, only little bits of damage to the heart each time. But in the end he still ended up with congestive heart failure. Not an easy way to live. Plus he never changed his lifestyle, still ate terrible food and smoked and rebelled against taking the medications the doctors prescribed. So although I know some things about heart attacks, I couldn't accurately or completely answer all your questions.

If you leave the workplace for a while and come back are your symptoms better? Do you spend most time in one location, or do you move around? Can you try to pinpoint which location(s) are worst? Best of luck with it.

it scary i know but i would not be too concerned unless it starts happening during your waking hours or when it happens in the nite and the racing heart does not go back to normal...at that point i would call the doc to get a little help..i think its pretty common what you went thru...i think everyone has had that happen to them at one time or another..........

http://usuncut.com/politics/elizabeth-warren-blasts-ted-cruz/ "Yesterday, Ted Cruz sent a campaign fundraising email whining about the “significant sacrifice” he’s made to run for President. He whined about facing constant attacks, nonexistent family time, his limited health and sleep, and having no personal time. Are you kidding me? We’re supposed to pity him because trying to be the leader of the free world is hard?! I’ve got two words for you, Ted: Boo hoo. Know whose health is limited?

This disorder is characterised by episodic attacks, called vasospastic attacks, that cause the blood vessels in the fingers and toes to constrict and reduce blood flow. Excess sugar in your blood (diabetes)can lead to nerve damage. You may notice tingling and loss of sensation in your hands and feet, as well as burning pain in your arms, hands, legs and feet. Worst case scenerios and you should see your doctor and get a medical opinion and tests to rule out.

I also work in retail & the standard is killer in the back. Stocking anything heavy may make it worse. If the merchandise is light & ca fit on a cart that is higher so you dont have to bend, then the moving around may actually help your back. But if not, I would ask your DR for a note & give it to the manager above yours. Explain that you have already spoke with him about it.

I'll have to let other's answer this for themselves, but my guess would be that it's damn near impossible. I've never heard of anyone being on disability for them. With medication and psychotherapy, even the worst panic attacks can be controlled. I'm sure you'd need the support of numerous doctors and psychiatrists to uphold a claim that you're unable to function in the workplace.

A few tests that could give you the clean bill of health with your heart are an EKG (looks at the electrical function of the heart), an Echocardiogram (ultrasound that allows the doc to actually SEE the heart and its parts..chambers, valves, etc), and probably most valuable in these cases would be a 24 hour Holter Monitor.
