Coronary artery blockage symptoms such as chest pain that does not go away with rest, or that comes on while you are resting, are a reason to act quickly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The same applies if they come with cold sweats, nausea, lightheadedness or breathlessness. It is adviced calling emergency services if you cannot tell whether chest pain is a heart attack. In India, you can call 112 or your local ambulance number. If <\/span><b>heart blockage symptoms<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> keep returning, even if they settle, book a check-up soon.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_This_Matters_in_India\"><\/span><b>Why This Matters in India<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A nationwide study in<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Lancet Global Health<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> found that <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC6942542\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">cardiovascular disease caused more than 2.1 million deaths in India in 2015<\/a><\/strong>, over a quarter of all deaths.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Among people aged 30 to 69, the chance of dying from ischaemic heart disease rose from 10.4% to 13.1% in men and from 4.8% to 6.6% in women between 2000 and 2015.
