A famous doctor named one action that will help protect yourself from a heart attack.
Alexander Myasnikov shared the recommendation on his Telegram channel.
Many people measure their blood pressure while sitting. This is a common practice. But the doctor advises measuring blood pressure not only while sitting, but also while lying down.
The doctor referred to a recent study that made it possible to establish an important fact.
In some people, high blood pressure can only be detected when lying down.
If they measure their blood pressure while sitting, the problem may not be noticed.
High blood pressure is not always felt, but it puts a lot of wear and tear on the cardiovascular system.
Myasnikov addressed his advice primarily to people who think that they have no problems with blood pressure.
It is likely that when measuring lying down it will turn out that this is not the case.
The doctor emphasized that hypertension increases the risk of developing angina (a syndrome characterized by a feeling of discomfort behind the breastbone).
Also, with hypertension, treatment is necessary that will help minimize the likelihood of a heart attack.
