heart attack Angina pectoris due to partial narrowing of one of the coronary arteries around the heart muscle and appears in the form of chest pain that ranges in intensity and usually occurs after sudden physical activity Most angina patients have symptoms that disappear after a few minutes with rest and some simple medications heart attack When a complete blockage occurs in one of the coronary arteries feeding the heart muscle, a so-called heart attack occurs, and it is one of the dangerous cases that require going to the emergency immediately as it may lead to death Breathing difficulty sweating profusely Some patients, especially those with diabetes, experience a silent heart attack without any visible symptoms, and it is one of the most dangerous types Myocardial failure Heart failure or weakness may occur in a sudden or chronic form, and it is one of the most common complications of coronary atherosclerosis
Medical family history Blood pressure measurement Complete blood test for glucose, cholesterol and triglycerides are a number of tests that are performed to confirm the presence of atherosclerosis, including : heart drawing Cardiac X-ray cardiac catheterization MRI of the heart muscle
• Fat exists in two forms: saturated and unsaturated, and saturated fat is the dangerous form of fat that causes atherosclerosis and other cardiovascular diseases. • Among the most important foods that contain saturated fats, which should be avoided as much as possible: processed meats, butter, some types of cheese, cakes, biscuits, and coconut oil. • Doctors advise replacing these fats with other sources of healthy unsaturated fats, such as: olive oil, vegetable oils, fish, nuts and avocados.
The most important symptom that distinguishes angina pectoris is the feeling of chest pain, the description of which differs from one patient to another. Some describe it as feeling heavy, pressure, burning or squeezing in the chest and ribs. The pain usually spreads from the chest area to the neck, jaws, shoulders and back is another group of symptoms that may indicate the occurrence of angina pectoris, such as: stomachache Indigestion Feeling sick and nauseous shortness of breath profuse sweating The period during which the patient feels symptoms varies according to the type of angina, and in general, the appearance of any of these symptoms requires going to the emergency, especially with the availability of risk factors for angina pectoris.
Stable angina The patient feels the symptoms of stable angina pectoris during unusual exertion and as a result of excessive heart activity with narrowing or lack of blood to it, symptoms appear for 5 minutes often This type is characterized by its consistent pattern that may last for several months or even years, and symptoms usually disappear after some rest or taking some medications Unstable angina pectoris Unstable angina occurs suddenly and does not have a fixed pattern, but can occur during rest, usually caused by atherosclerosis of the coronary arteries feeding the heart muscle Symptoms of unstable angina usually exceed five minutes and do not respond to rest or simple drug treatment, and may even progress to cardiac arrest if the patient does not receive appropriate health care early Microvascular angina Some people may develop coronary artery disease, especially the small capillaries, and as a result, the patient is exposed to angina pectoris, which is characterized by the following : pain in chest Sleep disorders shortness of breath Angina pectoris, symptoms lasting more than 10 minutes Variant angina . Prinzmetal's angina It is a rare type of angina pectoris and is caused by a sudden constriction of the coronary blood vessels as a result of exposure to some factors such as severe cold, nervous tension, taking certain medications, smoking or drugs
obesity Nervous tension smoking Not getting enough exercise genetics Arteriosclerosis Bad eating habits Cardiovascular disease Metabolic disorders hypertension diabetic Take some types of medication
Complete blood count to assess the level of fats, cholesterol, glucose and some other proteins ECG and exercise, blood pressure, heart rate, and respiratory rate Cardiac enzyme analysis Chest x-ray Angiography of coronary arteries to diagnose narrowing or blockage CT scan or MRI of the heart
Angina pectoris in most cases does not cause death or serious complications if the patient receives appropriate treatment and health care early as soon as symptoms appear, but the biggest fear of angina remains exposure to a heart attack and death, especially with the delay in diagnosis and treatment Doctors recommend the need to radically change the lifestyle, especially in cases prone to unstable angina and Prinzmetal's angina.

Difficulty picking up sounds and interpreting speech in noise Balance disturbance and feeling dizzy The patient's ability to distinguish high-frequency sounds Tinnitus Hearing abnormal sounds
are many causes that lead to sensorineural hearing loss, the most common of which are the following : Hearing loss due to birth defects Birth defects cause sensorineural hearing impairment in 0.3% of newborns, and it is one of the most common birth defects in children. Birth defects may occur as a result of several factors, including : The gene that causes hearing loss is inherited, and there are more than 100 genes responsible for sensorineural hearing loss Lack of oxygen to the baby during birth Infection of the mother with a viral infection during pregnancy Loud noises and sounds Suddenly or chronically exposure to very loud sounds - such as working in factories - causes atrophy of nerve cells in the cochlea and weakening of the hearing nerve, and this leads to various degrees of sensorineural hearing loss. Sensorineural hearing loss due to age The chances of developing sensorineural hearing loss increase in the elderly, especially after over 65 years, and the incidence rate reaches 3 %
There is a big difference between sensorineural hearing loss and conductive hearing loss, and this appears in the symptoms and causes. Conductive hearing loss occurs as a result of a disorder in the middle ear that impairs its ability to conduct sounds to the inner ear. The most important reasons are : Cold in the middle ear ear infection eardrum perforation benign ear tumors Ear full of wax One of the most important features of conductive hearing loss is that most of the causes can be treated, unlike cases of neurological hearing loss, but some may develop mixed hearing loss, and in this case it is difficult to treat and the patient is forced to use a stethoscope
Sudden sensorineural hearing loss often occurs in one ear and is considered an emergency situation that requires going to the doctor immediately, and its causes include : viral infection head injury immune diseases Meniere's disease Take some medicine circulatory disorders Rapid diagnosis and early treatment within 48 hours of the injury gives great results and saves the auditory nerve from chronic atrophy, and the patient may recover completely after a treatment period of up to two weeks only.
: The specialist doctor can perform several tests to diagnose the nature and degree of hearing loss, such as: Endoscopic examination of the ears to exclude causes of conductive hearing loss such as wax or perforation of the eardrum Audiometry and speech interpretation, and by a method, the doctor assesses the degree and type of hearing impairment and the extent to which speech interpretation is affected by noise The ear pressure device and through it the doctor excludes middle ear infections or osteoporosis
In fact, most cases of sensorineural hearing loss cannot be treated definitively except in cases of sudden hearing loss that may appear in response to some medications such as cortisone. As for the rest of the cases, there are only two types of rehabilitation methods : stethoscopes cochlear implant
Meniere 's disease is a chronic disease of the inner ear that causes a distinct set of symptoms, including ear pain, impaired hearing, tinnitus, episodes of dizziness and imbalance.
Meniere's disease spreads among adults and rises in women, especially from the age of forty, and there are many factors that increase the risk of infection.
Middle or inner ear infection Allergy immune system disorders Nervous tension smoking Take some medicine genes Migraines viral infection
Feeling of pressure in the ear Sudden episodes of dizziness and unsteadiness may reach fainting Tinnitus Hearing impairment
Meniere's disease causes hearing loss in most patients, and its severity increases with repeated episodes of vertigo. Meniere's disease mainly affects the low and medium frequencies, which leads to difficulty in picking up high-pitched sounds and tones. Hearing impairment may occur in only one ear, and sometimes both ears also vary. Its severity ranges from simple to severe
early stage At this stage, the patient suffers from episodes of severe dizziness that lasts for at least twenty minutes and may reach a whole day, preceded by tinnitus and may be accompanied by hearing loss, and after the vertigo ends, all symptoms disappear Intermediate stage This stage is characterized by the severity of all symptoms, so we find violent attacks of dizziness and nausea, and the severity of hearing loss and tinnitus increases Final stage At this stage, the vertigo attacks disappear, but the severity of hearing loss and tinnitus increases, and the patient feels constant balance disorder, especially in dark and dimly lit atmospheres.
Nutritional advice for Meniere's disease The quality of food affects the pressure of the inner ear fluid, so doctors advise reducing table salt and abstaining from caffeine and its products, and these tips have succeeded with many patients in relieving tinnitus and vertigo attacks. Follow a healthy lifestyle Changing the lifestyle and getting rid of bad habits helps control the symptoms of many chronic diseases, and one of the most important tips is to refrain from smoking and exercise to reduce nervous tension and anxiety and regulate sleep hours.
Gentamicin is injected directly into the inner ear, but it carries some serious complications, such as a severe deterioration in the degree of hearing loss Steroid injections into the inner ear, and many studies have proven its effectiveness in some cases, with no serious complications , there are some medications that the doctor prescribes during seizures to relieve symptoms, such as Antihistamines and some sedatives to treat dizziness Diuretics may help lower the fluid pressure in the inner ear
The middle ear contains three minute-sized bones that connect with each other and move in a certain way to transmit sound waves from the outside to the inner ear and the auditory nerve. As a result, sound waves are not transmitted efficiently through the inner ear, and this causes hearing loss. The disease spreads, especially in women from the age of thirty, and it is one of the most common and most common causes of conductive hearing loss.
Otosclerosis is a genetic disease, as 50% of patients have a specific gene related to the occurrence and development of the disease. It is also noted that it is spread among members of the same family, especially women. Age The chances of developing the disease rise between the ages of 10 to 45 years, but most patients begin to have symptoms from 20 years and become worse by the time they reach their 30s medical history There are some pathological conditions that raise the rates of middle ear sclerosis, such as infection with the measles virus or immune disorders sex International statistics indicated that women are more susceptible to middle ear sclerosis than men, and the disease develops and hearing impairment becomes more severe if the infection occurs during pregnancy due to the effect of hormones on the growth of ear bones
Gradual hearing loss that gets worse over time Difficulty picking up and distinguishing low deep sounds and whispers Hearing the echo while speaking, it sounds much louder, so we find that most patients speak in a low voice Listening and distinguishing sounds and speech is better in noise, unlike other types of neurological hearing impairment Hearing sounds in the ears such as wheezing or buzzing
Audiometry and speech interpretation ear pressure test CT scan of the ear
Middle ear sclerosis can be treated in two main ways, either using a stethoscope or surgical intervention. The doctor’s decision depends on the severity of the hearing loss, the general health of the patient and his different needs. stethoscopes Hearing aids are among the modern technologies that are used in all types of hearing impairment, and there are many hearing aids that suit different degrees of hearing impairment. The hearing aid raises the volume to help the patient interpret and understand different sounds and words. Hearing aids are safer than surgical intervention in the treatment of middle ear sclerosis and do not carry any risks at all. Recently, models of small, inconspicuous shapes and sizes have been manufactured that prevent embarrassment for the patient and suit his needs. medical intervention Some patients may prefer surgical intervention to replace the stiff bones instead of using medical stethoscopes, and the surgery is often performed under general anesthesia and the patient can go home on the same day This surgery is a delicate surgery and usually succeeds in correcting and treating hearing impairment, but there are some complications that may occur, such as : Hearing loss occurs in 1% of cases Changing the ability to taste food Tinnitus Vertigo Seventh neuralgia
Causes of sudden hearing loss , and the patient feels it noticeably, and one of the most important causes is it Wax blockage in the outer ear Middle ear infection and inflammation eardrum perforation Meniere 's disease In some cases, the patient may develop sudden hearing loss in both ears as a result of exposure to a very loud sound, especially gunshots, or taking some types of medications that affect the auditory nerve. Progressive hearing loss and its causes Progressive hearing loss differs in nature from sudden, as the disease develops very slowly over several months and years, and there are some cases that do not feel a hearing disorder and the condition is discovered by chance during the examination. Among the causes of progressive hearing loss in one ear are : Stiffness of the stirrup bone Chronic otitis media Internal bone decay in the ear As for the causes of gradual hearing loss in both ears : getting old High blood pressure and diabetes Chronic exposure to loud noises, such as working in factories
genetics Anomalies and birth defects in chromosomes, which result in several syndromes such as Down and Usher, both of which are characterized by impaired hearing. Infection of the mother with a viral infection during pregnancy Injury to the fetus during childbirth and exposure to lack of oxygen The high level of bile in the blood of the child after birth severely affects the auditory nerve and the hearing centers in the brain Spinal cord injuries meningitis . meningitis
Blood pressure disorder, either high or low and low head injury Various infections of the paranasal sinuses or meningeal membranes Inflammation of the inner ear canals severe dehydration Low blood sugar level Nervous system diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease
Audiometry and speech interpretation test ( PTA) In this test, the patient's hearing and ability to interpret speech in noise is evaluated in a soundproofed room. This test is suitable for adults and children from 6 years of age Ear Pressure Test Tympanometry It is a test suitable for all age groups, in which infections of the middle ear, eardrum and small bones in the middle ear are detected acoustic emission OAEs This test is conducted to evaluate and check the efficiency of the cochlea and sensory receptors in the inner ear. Computerized audiogram ABR The computerized hearing test is performed under hypnotic or simple sedation, in which the degree and type of hearing impairment is evaluated, especially in young children from the age of one month or in cases that fail the normal audiometric test.
Balance test, in which the patient performs certain movements to determine the nature and type of poor balance Hearing tests to exclude causes of hearing loss that are associated with balance disorders CT scan and MRI of the brain

increased mucus secretion There are certain cells in the lungs and bronchi that are responsible for secreting mucus to moisten and purify the air during breathing. In this case, the lungs are trying to get rid of excess mucus through coughing, but due to the constantly increasing secretions, the lungs may be unable to get rid of them and these secretions accumulate in the airways, which increases the chances of infection and inflammation Therefore, smoking is one of the most important risk factors for pneumonia and chronic lung disease Oxygen deficiency Smoking provokes the lungs and may cause inflammation, increased coughing, atrophy and deformation in the tissues and capillaries surrounding the alveoli, which leads to a lack of oxygen exchange between the lung and the circulatory system. As a result, the percentage of oxygen loaded on red blood cells decreases, and the body's systems become chronically deprived of oxygen Destruction of cilia in the airways The airways are covered with mucous membranes bearing on their surface millions of tiny cilia that move around
Chronic cough pain in chest shortness of breath change in pitch frequent lung infections high body temperature
• vision disturbances • are many eye diseases related to smoking such as cataracts and other vision disorders such as • heart disease • , blood vessels and blood cells and causes many diseases such as • ⦁ Atherosclerosis, which causes clots to block various blood vessels, may lead to serious complications or death • ⦁ Peripheral arteritis in the arms and feet, which leads to a lack of blood and therefore oxygen to the extremities, and increases the rates of stroke, heart attacks and angina pectoris. • infertility • Smoking affects the reproductive health of both sexes, delaying childbearing and may lead to infertility, as the chemicals in cigarettes lead to a disturbance in the level of hormones in women. • In men, excessive smoking causes disturbances in the efficiency, health and movement of sperms, increases the rates of abnormalities in them, and weakens erections as a result of weak capillaries. • Risks during pregnancy • Smoking affects the pregnant mother and the fetus greatly and exposes them to many risks, such as • Increased chances of ectopic pregnancy • Fetal size and weight loss • risk of premature birth • Destruction of the lung, brain and nerve cells of the fetus • Increased rates of sudden fetal death before birth • Some congenital anomalies of the fetus, such as the cleft lip • immune system disorder • Dry Eye • Keratitis • glaucoma
o Pneumonia occurs as a result of an infection in the respiratory tract that may be bacterial or viral, and the inflammation causes swelling of the mucous membranes lining the airways, causing them to become narrow and filled with fluid and secretions
dry cough shortness of breath Nausea and vomiting diarrhea Bone and joint pain headache Congestion or runny nose Abdominal muscle pain red eyes Skin rash In addition to these general symptoms, there are some signs that indicate the virus has developed and infected the lung, causing acute pneumonia, such as : rapid heartbeat shortness of breath rapid breathing rate Vertigo heavy sweating
This question is one of the most worrying about infection with the Corona virus, and global statistics indicated that 15% of infections may be serious that require hospital treatment, and that only 5% of them need to be placed on a ventilator in intensive care.
