Bextra Side Effects: Heart Attack (Myocardial Infarction)
The dangerous drug Bextra has been found to cause Heart Attack due to its
use. A Heart Attack is an event that occurs when the blood supply to the heart
is ceased due to the coronary artery being completely blocked by a blood
clot.
The blockage is most often the result of atherosclerosis (the
buildup of plaque against the arterial wall), where the plaque ruptures and then
creates an opening for the activation for platelet accumulation (blood
clot).
When the blood supply is decreased for more than a few minutes,
cells may be permanently injured causing debilitating effects (i.e. heart
failure and ventricular fibrillation) and if left untreated for more than 6-8
hours the heart muscle will die.
It is important to recognize the signs
of a heart attack and respond immediately because time is a crucial factor for
risk of disability.
Warning Signs: not all heart attacks are sudden. On the contrary, they occur slowly at first with mild pain or discomfort. Some tell tale signs are:
| • | Chest discomfort: occurs in the center of the chest and lasts for longer than a few minutes and at times repeatedly. |
| • | Upper body discomfort: pain or discomfort in one or both of the arms, neck, jaw or stomach. |
| • | Shortness of breath: may occur before and in addition to chest discomfort. |
| • | Cold sweats |
| • | Nausea |
| • | Light-headedness |
