Why do most heart attacks occur in the morning?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Our body has Carcadian system and this rythm dips and raises throutout the day. This system sends out PA1-1 cells which blocks the blood clots from breaking down. Another reason is when we wake up, brain floods the heart with hormones which increases the load on the heart .

I've been having some chest pain for the last few days and it's really been bothering me. Sometimes it feels uncomfortable and along with the chest pain, I get this ache in my arm joint or at the back of my neck, and it's just getting worse at times. The pain tends to last for a few hours. What could be causing this and should I be concerned?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of angina, which is chest pain or discomfort caused by reduced blood flow to your heart muscle. In such cases, it is important to consult a doctor for proper evaluation and treatment. Common medications prescribed for angina include: - Nitroglycerin: 0.4mg sublingual tablet, to be taken as needed for chest pain - Aspirin: 81mg to 325mg daily, to help prevent blood clots - Beta-blockers (e.g. Metoprolol): Dosage varies, to help reduce heart rate and blood pressure - Calcium channel blockers (e.g. Amlodipine): Dosage varies, to help relax blood vessels It is important to seek medical attention to determine the underlying cause of your symptoms and receive appropriate treatment.
