Patients sometimes hid his condition should consult with your doctor and answered all perfectly. But there are 5 things that should not be withheld in patients with heart doctor.
"There are many reasons that make the patient does not provide information honestly about themselves, they sometimes shy, sometimes can not afford the medication or may be afraid the doctor would be angry," said Dr. Nieca Goldberg, director of the Women's Heart Program at New York University, as quoted by CNN on Friday (18/02/2011).
However, heart experts say could be a particular concern can be fatal if not notified. Here are 5 secrets that should not be hidden in the heart doctor:
1. Taking vitamins, supplements or other herbal medications.
Alternative and herbal medicine can indeed help a person cope with a chronic condition, but heart experts warned not to drink carelessly. This is because there are certain supplements that can cause serious risks for people who are known to consume drugs for heart disease.
2. If the test with another doctor.
Patients are sometimes embarrassed to admit that he received a second opinion or additional inspection test. This is of course to get better health care. If indeed undergo additional tests such as blood tests, ECG, echocardiogram or angiogram, then the results should be taken during the visit so the physician can understand the actual conditions and maximize treatment.
3. If the patients forget to take medicine. Golberg says patients usually lie on a treatment for blood pressure or cholesterol. And if someone claims still taking the drugs but the results of blood pressure or cholesterol is not good, it could have been a doctor will prescribe a higher dose. It can be a very risky and cause.
4. Lying about conditions of life.
Some conditions such as stress or trauma to the life, death, layoff or divorce can make the body reproduces the excess adrenaline which can stimulate the heart rate and pounding experience (feeling uncomfortable because of heart palpitations). To that should not conceal the conditions of life that can threaten the health of the doctor can monitor more closely.
5. To say that the condition was fine.
Everyone wants to look fine, so it will say that he exercise program and eating healthy foods, but do not. Although this condition does not always create increased heart health. Because if someone says he did not experience chest pain, and then perform various physical activities that could endanger the heart.
So the best condition if the patient does not lie with his condition, seek a doctor who has a good working relationship, trustworthy and willing to listen. This will make the patient easier to open and honest.
