Jakarta, Saat mengalami nyeri dada, kebanyakan orang takut itu serangan jantung yang membahayakan. Padahal gejala serangan jantung tidak selalu di dada karena ada beberapa gejala yang menemaninya. Nyeri dada juga bisa karena masalah lain. Bagaimana membedakan nyeri dada karena serangan jantung atau gangguan lain?

Dokter Rob Lamberts seperti dilansir housecalldoctor, Minggu (21/8/2011) mengatakan orang perlu membedakan kapan nyeri dada itu serius karena serangan jantung atau penyakit lain.

Jika nyeri dada mengarah ke serangan jantung maka harus dilakukan tindakan cepat pertolongannya untuk mencegah kerusakan otot jantung yang bisa terjadi dalam beberapa jam yang berujung pada kematian.

Dokter Lamberts mengatakan untuk gejala serangan jantung, kata yang tepat sebenarnya bukan nyeri dada tetapi sensasi di dada. Sensasi ini terasa tidak enak seperti perasaan berat saat bernapas, perasaan dingin di dada atau sesak napas.

Menurutnya hampir sepertiga pasien serangan jantung tidak merasakan nyeri dada. Tapi gejala sebenarnya sudah dirasakan jauh sebelumnya yakni nyeri yang hilang timbul dalam 5 menit atau tidak menetap dan seringnya diabaikan banyak orang. Nyeri dada yang timbul tenggalam itu biasanya berlangsung singkat, tidak sampai 20 menit.

Kapan nyeri dada itu dikategorikan sebagai gejala serangan jantung yang serius?

Gejala yang khas pada serangan jantung (angina) adalah:
1. Dada sesak, berat atau seperti diperas.
Kondisi ini digambarkan banyak penderitanya seperti membawa beban yang berat di dada atau seperti dada diikat ketat. Sensasi ini biasanya terasa di sisi kiri dada atas. Tetapi kadang juga sulit menentukan lokasi yang tepat.

2. Sesak napas
3. Berkeringat, mual dan merasa cemas
4. Rasa sakit di leher, lengan kiri dan rahang, di belakang perut, salah satu bahu atau di kedua bahu.
5. Merasa lemah dan denyut jantung cepat atau tidak teratur.

Kondisi itu bisa muncul walau orang sedang istirahat. Gejala itu juga bisa timbul saat sedang atau sehabis olahraga, stres atau sehabis makan besar yang hanya ada satu jalan segera bawa ke unit darurat rumah sakit terdekat.

Selain nyeri dada serangan jantung, seperti dikutip WebMD, nyeri dada juga pertanda dari masalah atau penyakit lain seperti gangguan pencernaan (maag) atau salah otot.

Nyeri dada yang bukan serangan jantung adalah:

1. Nyeri pada otot atau tulang dada.
Kondisi ini sering terjadi ketika aktivitas seseorang meningkat atau orang menambah jadwal olahraganya.

2. Nyeri dada ketika batuk
Kondisi ini terjadi karena ada infeksi saluran pernapasan atas yang disebabkan oleh virus.

3. Nyeri di rusuk
Jika terjadi sebelum muncul ruam-ruam merah bisa jadi itu pertanda penyakit herpes zoster.

4. Tulang rusuk patah
Adanya tulang rusuk yang patah membuat orang merasakan nyeri dada terutama ketika batuk atau mengambil napas dalam-dalam.

5. Gangguan pencernaan Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) atau penyakit asam lambung yang naik ke kerongkongan.
Kondisi ini bisa menyebabkan rasa sakit di bawah tulang dada, rasa mulas.

6. Masalah paru-paru pneumothorax
Kondisi ini menyebabkan nyeri dada yang amat dalam dan sesak napas yang ekstrem.

7. Bekuan darah di paru-paru (emboli)
Kondisi ini menyebabkan nyeri dada yang amat dalam dan sesak napas yang ekstrem.

8. Kanker paru-paru
Kanker paru-paru juga menyebabkan nyeri dada terutama jika sel-sel kanker telah menyebar ke tulang rusuk.

9. Penyakit tulang belakang
Penyakit ini juga menimbulkan rasa nyeri di dada jika saraf di tulang belakang terjepit.

How to Stop Stimming Behavior in a Child with Autismthumbnail You can help your child overcome stimming behaviors

Autism, a disorder of the mind, affects one in every 110 American children, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control. Some common signs of autism are lack of eye contact, lack of interest in other people and, sometimes, obsessive focus on a single task or idea. Stimming, or self-stimulation, is another identifying feature of autism. Some common stimming behaviors include hand-flapping, repeating words and phrases, watching one scene from a movie or listening to one song over and over and, in some

Difficulty:
Moderately Challenging

Instructions

1.
* 1

Stim when your child stims. If your child flaps her hands, flap your hands with her. If your child sings, sing along. This strategy is similar to the those used by the Son-Rise Program and Floortime methods. The theory is that you need to connect with your child first. This demonstrates that you understand the child's world and that you're willing to connect with it. Some people feel this method encourages the child to continue stimming, but the Son-Rise Program and Floortime methods have shown
* 2

Enroll your child with an ABA (applied behavior analysis) therapist. This is the oldest method for treating individuals with autism and has the strongest track record. ABA therapy involves teaching the child what is and isn't appropriate behavior. Children are rewarded when they make eye contact or perform other desirable behaviors.
* 3

Discuss stimming behavior with your child. Ask him to describe what he feels when he stims. Ask why he does it. Tell him how it makes you feel when he stims in front of you or in public. Politely ask him to try not to do it. Discussion may not work if your child has a hard time comprehending abstract concepts. If that's the case, try discussing stimming with your child on a daily basis. In time, the concepts you talk about may suddenly just "click" with him.
* 4

Show disappointment in your child's stimming behavior. Do this only if nothing else shows results. Many children with autism do not want to disappoint their parents. This method may not cure the behavior, but it may stop the child from stimming in public.
* 5

Keep your expectations realistic. Stimming behavior is wired into the child's brain, and it will take some time to stop it. Don't expect your child to be cured overnight. If you see that she's stimming less, then know that you're making progress.
