Why there's jaw pain in acute myocardial infarction?
The pain of angina pectoris and myocardial infarction is sometimes referred to the head and neck region. The mechanism for this effect remains obscure. A case is presented here that reports that electrical stimulation of a cardiac branch of the left vagus nerve in humans can cause referred craniofacial pain. This leads to the hypothesis that the vagus nerve plays a role in mediating this pain.
How is ESR affected by myocardial infarction?
The ESR (or sedimentation rate) is a marker for acute inflammation. In the case of a myocardial infarction it is typically elevated within 3 days of the infarction and may remain elevated for weeks after.

Can vitamins cause vomiting?
I think it can, if i take vitamins (especially on an empty stomach) it causes vomiting, this is also the case if they are not coated.
How much fat people can hold in their stomach without blowing up?
People don't explode because of fat... unless by "blow up" you mean kill themselves via atherosclerotic plaques in the arteries causing a myocardial infarction. In that case, a lifetime of being obese should do it.
What is a heart attack?
A myocardial infarction, commonly referred to as a heart attack, occurs when the blood supply to the heart is cut off. This is usually the result of plaques in the arteries, that form blood clots if they rupture.
What does the medical abbreviation STEMI mean?
STEMI stands for ST-segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction. The ST in this case doesn't stand for anything; it refers to the part of the EKG tracing that is higher than usual (elevated). Patients with STEMI may benefit from treatment to restore flow to the heart muscle.
Can you donate blood if you have coronary microvascular disease?
The medical director for each blood collection facility determines the eligibility of potential volunteer blood donors with history of cardiovascular disease. Most will defer a donor if they are on cardiac medications and/or have a history of angina or myocardial infarction. Please contact your local center and review your case with the physician.
How do you medicate people who are wounded usingf a first aid kit?
First aid is not about medication. In the case of a wound, the idea is to immobilize the wounded organ in case of suspected broken bones, disinfect if it is an open wound and then get the wounded person to a proper medical facility in the quickest and safest way. A real first aid kit should not contain medication (unless it is aspirin which is used only for suspected myocardial infarction (heart attack).
How does it feel like when vomiting biles?
If a person is vomiting bile, they will not be feeling at all well. The reason for vomiting bile could be because of a recent meal, that was not fully digested before vomiting. The person might be allergic to the food and this caused the vomiting along with the digestive enzymes and juices called bile. If a person has had a recent gallbladder surgery, this too could cause bile vomiting. In either case the individual will not enjoy the sensation and may feel slightly light headed after completion.
Can you donate blood while taking Ramipril?
If taken for hypertension, and BP is within acceptable limits, then potential donors taking Ramipril are eligible for volunteer blood donation. If taken for heart failure or with a history of cardiac ischemia w/wo myocardial infarction, then the donor would be deferred. Please contact the medical director of your local blood collection facility and review your case.
What is the more common name for the medical word emesis?
Vomiting. This is when you regergitate your food. Sometimes nausea is also involved and it's possible to be nauseated without vomiting. This is a very common thing and many things can cause it but if your case is severe you may want to see a doctor.
What changes in cardiac enzymes would be consistent with a diagnosis of MI?
In the case of a myocardial infarction (MI), cardiac enzyme levels, particularly troponin I and troponin T, are typically elevated due to cardiac muscle damage. Creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB) may also rise, though it is less specific than troponin. These enzymes usually begin to elevate within a few hours of the onset of an MI, peak within 24-48 hours, and then gradually decline. Monitoring these enzyme levels helps confirm the diagnosis and assess the extent of myocardial injury.
