Know and heed warning
signs of heart trouble
By Brenda Leza
SEDONA COMMUNITY CENTER
Last week, one of our drivers
experienced a heart attack, He
was lucky, and he will be fine
after the excellent medical care
he received. This has been a
wake-up call to us, as he was
experiencing some of the classic
symptoms of a heart attack. We
can all benefit from a refresher
course of these symptoms
according to William R. Ladd,
M.D., director of nuclear cardi-
ology, Cardiovascular Institute of
the South:
• Uncomfortable pressure,
fullness, squeezing or pain in the
center of the chest lasting more
than a few minutes.
• Pain spreading to the shoul-
ders, neck or arms. The pain may
be mild to intense. It may feel like
pressure, tightness, burning or
heavy weight. It may be located
in the chest, upper abdomen,
neck, jaw, or inside the arms or
shoulders.
• Chest discomfort with light-
headedness, fainting, sweating,
nausea or shortness of breath.
• Anxiety, nervousness and/or
cold, sweaty skin.
• Paleness or pallor.
' • Increased or irregular heart
rate.
• Feeling of impending doom.
If you suffer chest pain, partic-
ularly while exercising, you will
almost certainly wonder whether
it might be heart-related and
well you should. Heart muscle
pain angina is likely to be
the first warning of blocked coro-
nary arteries, the cause of most
heart attacks.
While there are no infallible
guidelines about whether a chest
pain is heart-related, it generally
takes a particular form. Heart
discomfort is rarely a sharp,
stabbing pain. The textbook
description of angina is a feeling

it. Consult a cardiologist imme-
diately. Not all of these signs
occur in every attack. Sometimes
they go away and return. If some
occur, get help fast.
If you notice one or more of
these signs in yourself or others,
don't wait. Call emergency
medical services, 9-1-1, right
away. In the event of cardio-
pulmonary arrest [no breathing
or pulse], call 9-1-1 and begin
cardiopulmonary resuscitation or
CPR immediately.

of heaviness, pressure, tightness
or aching in the chest, usually
accompanied by shortness of
breath. The pain generally goes
away when you stop exerting
yourself, and it frequently isn't
especially severe, which is,
perhaps, unfortunate.
Even a heart attack may not
be unbearably painful at first,
permitting its victim to delay
seeking treatment for as much as
four to six hours after its onset.
By then, the heart may have
suffered irreversible damage. It is
not unknown for patients to drive
themselves to emergency rooms
with what proved to be serious
and even fatal heart attacks.
Angina is'a protest from the
heart muscle that it isn't getting
enough oxygen because of
diminished blood supply. A heart
attack is simply the most extreme
state of oxygen deprivation, in
which whole regions of heart
muscle cells begin to die for lack
of oxygen. If the blockage in the
arteries serving the heart muscle
can be cleared quickly enough
-- within the first few hours of
the onset of the attack -- the
permanent xiamage can be held to
a minimum.
That's why it is so vital to seek
medical attention quickly if you
feel the sort of pressing pain
or heaviness described in this
column. There is a 90 percent
probability that pain of this type
is angina. And even if it goes
away, the artery blockages that
caused it are still there and will
grow progressively worse.
Ignoring this sort of pain
because it is not unbearable or
because it goes away is the worst
thing you can do. It is the only
warning you are likely to get of a
potentially lethal condition. Heed

Author, former priest
discusses praying
Michael Morwood, Australian
author, teacher and former
Roman Catholic priest, will
discuss "Prayer in a New Story
of the Universe" on Sunday,
Nov. 7, from 6:30 to 8 p.m. at
KSB's Pushmataha Center, 360
Brewer Road in Sedona. The
event is hosted by friends of
Morwood.
"It makes a big difference
how we pray if we view God as
a person in heaven or if we view
God 'everywhere.' For many,
prayer is an effort to contact an
'elsewhere God.' What happens
when we shift our attention to an
'everywhere God'- a sustaining
presence in all, through all,
never absent, never distant?
How does this affect our beliefs?
How do we pray if prayer is not
about addressing an external,
listening deity? What is the new

Archbishop George Pell in 1998,

and Jesus in a New Millennium,"
"Is Jesus God? Finding Our
Faith," "Praying a New Story,"
"From Sand to Solid Ground"
and "Children Praying a New
Story: A Resource for Parents,
Grandparents and Teachers."
His books are acclaimed for
helping Christians reimagine
and reevaluate their faith in
light of the contemporary story
about our universe. He chal-

their notion of God beyond a
localized, personal deity and to
embrace belief in an all-perva-
