Why do cardiac arrests happen in the bathroom?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Water temperature,most often incidences of stroke or heart attack in the bathroom happen more in winter than in summer. Chilled water can cause the arteries to shrink and prevent blood flow to vital organs like the heart and brain.

I'm a 59-year-old female and recently experienced some pain in my left hand. I went to see the doctor, and he took an EKG. He then recommended an angiogram. Could you explain what an angiogram is and why it might be necessary for me? Should I be worried about this procedure?
The symptoms you are experiencing, along with the recommendation for an angiogram, suggest that your doctor may suspect a heart-related issue. The EKG and angiogram are common tests used to diagnose heart problems. It is important to follow your doctor's advice for further evaluation and treatment. For the left hand pain, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil) to help manage the discomfort. Make sure to follow the recommended dosage on the packaging. If you experience any worsening of symptoms or new symptoms, such as chest pain, shortness of breath, or dizziness, seek medical attention immediately.
