Why do most heart attacks occur in the morning?

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

Our body has Carcadian system and this rythm dips and raises throutout the day. This system sends out PA1-1 cells which blocks the blood clots from breaking down. Another reason is when we wake up, brain floods the heart with hormones which increases the load on the heart .

I'm feeling a sharp, current-like pain whenever I'm doing household chores or lifting my child. It lasts for a few minutes. I've had an ECG and an echo done, and both came back normal. I'm really struggling to get things done around the house because of this pain. Any idea what it might be or what I can do about it?

Ecg and cardiac markers are advised to the patient.

I'm really worried about my heart condition. The doctor mentioned that my left anterior descending artery type 3 vessel has a 70% blockage in the proximal region. The mid and distal parts of the LAD are normal, but there's an ostial plaque in D1, while D2 is normal. They've suggested angioplasty, and I'm unsure about what to do next. Could you give me some advice or explain this a bit more? I'm feeling anxious about the whole situation.

"Based on your condition of Left anterior descending artery type 3 vessel Proximal lad 70% present with Mid and distal lad normal and D1-ostial plaque, the recommended treatment is angioplasty. You can use antiplatelet medications such as Clopidogrel (Plavix) 75mg once daily along with Aspirin 81mg once daily to prevent blood clots. Additionally, Atorvastatin (Lipitor) 40mg once daily can be used to lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of further plaque buildup. Follow your doctor's advice for the dosage and duration of these medications."
