किम्स हॉस्पिटल सिकंदराबाद, हैदराबाद

Ashna Sheikh is a resident of Hyderabad and is nearly 39 years old. Once, while enjoying a picnic near her residence, she appeared to have certain symptoms like pain in her left arm and headaches. She didn’t give any attention to the symptoms and went to enjoy her time with her friends. Once, while making food in the kitchen, she appeared to have strong pain in her arm and lower back pain. It was so severe that she could not gather her courage to make food and divert her mind. She immediately talked to her husband. Husband, on the other hand, searched about the symptoms on the internet and came to know that these are the symptoms of a heart attack. Being curious about the health of his wife, Ashna Sheikh was immediately taken to one of the best KIMS Hospital Secunderabad.

How did Ashna receive help?

• Ashna was asked a few questions regarding the pain. She was asked whether she received chest pain in the past to which she replied no.

• The doctors of the KIMS Hospital Secunderabad had all the tests including a thallium stress test, which found two arteries blocked in her heart.

• Ashna was informed that she had a heart attack which is quite different from what men receive. Ashna was given balloon angioplasty, which is a kind of balloon placed inside the artery. The balloon inflates and deflates many times while the artery opens.

• Ashna developed a fear of death as she never expected this to happen. After 5 years, she received her bypass surgery and had her angioplasty done within the gap of two years.

• She once had a heart attack that followed the induction of three stents in her heart. A stent is attached to the artery after angioplasty to hold the artery.

Ashna Sheikh, who first had her heart attack symptoms back at the age of 29, had to spend her 10 years with the doctors in the hospital. She is happy to receive timely help from the doctors of KIMS Hospital Secunderabad. Today, she is pursuing her teaching job and has informed the same to other colleagues. She often amazes the use of techniques and the symptoms of women in case of a heart attack.
