I can’t forget that day at work when my colleagues had to take me to the hospital after fainting. It was really a hard experience, and all my colleagues were afraid. Till now, I can’t remember what happened exactly, but all I can remember is how my friends rushed towards me and called the ambulance and took me immediately to the hospital.
Now all I can say is thanks to my colleagues and the best cardiologist in Dubai at Novomed Centers, who helped me a lot and saved my life.
It was the week before the new year, and we had a lot of work to do with the year closure, so I was working late every day so I can have a long holiday with my family. I didn’t pay attention then to my diet or get the rest I should have. I was waking up every day at 5 AM to go to work, and going back home around 10 PM. I ate a lot of junk food and drank a lot of sugary drinks, which caused a lot of problems I didn’t notice.
That day, I was at the office working hard because I wanted to finish all my tasks earlier. Suddenly, I felt pressure in my chest, pain in my left arm, and nausea. A few minutes later, I started sweating and I fainted. My colleagues called the ambulance immediately and took me to the emergency at Novomed Dubai.
I wasn’t awake, so I don’t remember what happened exactly in the emergency room, but the doctor told me after I woke up that they did all the needed exams, especially the tests related to the heart. And according to the results, I should consult a cardiologist immediately because things are not very good.
The doctor already called the cardiologist at Novomed, who came to check on me and see the results. She explained to me that I was having a heart attack, but thanks to my colleagues I am fine now. But the main cause of having this heart attack was Coronary Artery Disease.
She explained to me that CAD is a condition that prevents the blood from reaching the heart, because of the plaque inside the heart’s arteries, that blocks them. So I had to undergo surgery to remove those plaques.
And she told me that I will have to take some medications after surgery, and advised me to follow a healthy lifestyle with healthy food and a lot of rest.
I undergo the surgery, took my medication, and made a lot of changes in my lifestyle, starting by reducing the number of working hours. I am very grateful for my colleagues and Novomed who has the best cardiologist in Dubai.
