What is myocardial infarction, Sushmita Sen’s medical condition?

A myocardial infarction or a heart attack can be silent and unnoticed in some, but can also lead to major symptoms and even death in some cases. Since the blood flow in the heart is restricted, the tissue of the heart receives no oxygen.

The early warning signs of a heart attack are hyperventilation, dizziness, a rise in blood pressure, and fainting. The symptoms also include sudden and sharp pain in the area between the shoulder blades, arms, chest, jaw, left arm, or upper abdomen.
The person can feel light-headed, dizzy, and incoherent during a myocardial infarction. They might also experience anxiety, chest pressure, the feeling of impending doom, palpitations, shortness of breath, or shoulder discomfort.
