It's #AmericanHeartMonth ❤
This month is all about motivating people to prioritize their heart health and taking the necessary steps to improve their cardiovascular health.
Reminder, it's important to take chest pain seriously, as it could indicate something severe like a heart attack. TEC offers cardiac evaluations, monitoring services, and can perform an EKG to measure the electrical activity of the heartbeat.
If you experience any dull, sharp, burning, aching, or crushing chest pain, it's vital to seek emergency care. It could save your life ❗
Sometimes patients need a little extra monitoring and care and that’s why we have protocols for 23-Hour observations. This allows physicians to monitor the patient’s symptoms for up to 23 hours to determine if they need to be admitted into a hospital. Warning signs that may indicate an emergency and need for observation are:
➡Chest Pain
➡Severe Back Pain
➡Dehydration
➡Asthma
➡Allergic Reactions
➡Shortness of Breath
➡Severe Abdominal Pain
Observation patients will receive hours of medical attention allowing the physicians to make a more accurate diagnosis. This also saves the patient critical time by bypassing the busy hospital waiting rooms if admitted.
