Hospitals and Healthcare
There are many challenges facing hospitals and healthcare in the modern world we are living in. I've created this curation collection to save articles that help me understand what modern health in society is.  The articles here are general in nature and placed here to promote discussion. We advise that you talk with your health professional before changing any of your medication or treatment options.  Any of the online courses listed here may (or may not) be open for access or enrolment. Most are free to browse, some may charge a small fee if you wish to receive a certificate or record of learning.   Every effort is made to ensure that these links are up to date and be aware that some of these articles may be behind a 'paywall'. If you can’t get into an article, email me and I may be able to assist.  Views are my own.

How to treat heartburn and why some measures don't work & when heartburn is a heart attack

The scariest symptom that can be mistaken for heartburn is chest pain caused by insufficient blood flow to the heart that can turn into a heart attack. Women especially often have atypical symptoms of a heart attack, such as nausea or back pain, so it’s very important to not dismiss symptoms as “heartburn” when they’re not responding to standard treatments. If you’re not sure, it’s always better to seek immediate medical attention.

Heartburn is so common, you may think of it as no big deal compared with other medical issues. But the consequences of inadequately treated heartburn as well as of a mistaken diagnosis can be serious. If you’ve had long-standing heartburn symptoms, get the right treatment, and you don’t have to suffer endlessly.
