Heartology Cardiovascular Hospital

Many people still do not know the differences between "masuk angin," "angin duduk," and heart attacks. Although the symptoms are almost the same, "angin duduk" can be more dangerous than "masuk angin" and a heart attack.

So, what are the differences in the symptoms of these three health complaints? Actually, the three complaints are almost the same. All three can cause epigastric or chest pain that can radiate to the neck and back, cold sweats, dizziness, digestive disorders such as nausea or stomach pain, and even weakness.

So, what are the differences between these three health problems? Read more here!

**Masuk Angin (Common Cold)**

Many people ignore the symptoms of a heart attack because they are similar to those of "masuk angin." In fact, "masuk angin" is not actually a disease.

Perhaps there are countries that do not recognize the term "masuk angin" in the medical world. However, here, "masuk angin" is often used to describe feeling unwell, flatulence, belching, bloating, and body aches, among others. In short, this complaint is almost the same as acid reflux or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).

Many believe it is caused by a lot of wind entering the body, especially during the rainy season. In fact, GERD is caused by the weakening of the lower esophageal sphincter (LES). When the LES weakens, stomach acid and stomach contents rise into the esophagus.

The causes of GERD vary, starting from obesity, old age, pregnancy, gastroparesis, or scleroderma. Common symptoms include nausea and vomiting, heartburn, shortness of breath, and frequent belching.

Although they both have the word "angin," "angin duduk" is much more dangerous than "masuk angin." However, some people consider "angin duduk" the same as "masuk angin." Worse still, many also underestimate this health condition.

In the medical world, "angin duduk" is called angina or angina pectoris. This condition is characterized by chest pain because the heart muscle does not get enough blood supply. This lack of blood supply is caused by the narrowing or hardening of the blood vessels. It is important to know that angina or angina pectoris can attack someone suddenly.

Symptoms of angina pectoris usually include chest pain. Angina sufferers will experience chest pain that radiates to the left arm, neck, jaw, and back. In addition, there are other symptoms such as:

- Shortness of breath.- Restlessness.- Easy fatigue.- Pain resembling GERD symptoms.- Dizziness and nausea.- Excessive sweating.

Coronary heart disease is an early symptom of a heart attack. However, do you want to know more about other causes?

They include high cholesterol, smoking habits, lack of exercise, hypertension, diabetes, obesity, and stress. In short, these factors will disrupt the blood supply to the heart muscle, causing a heart attack.

Each coronary artery supplies blood to a specific part of the heart. A blood blockage can damage that part. This blockage can interfere with the heart's ability to pump blood throughout the body. This condition can potentially cause death.

Remember, a heart attack is a medical emergency that must be treated immediately. People who experience a heart attack usually complain of the same symptoms as "masuk angin" or "angin duduk."

"Masuk angin," "angin duduk," and heart attacks are not the same. Although they have almost the same symptoms, these three conditions are different medical conditions, both in terms of causes and triggering factors.
