Cellulitis appears as a swollen, red area of skin that feels hot and tender. It can spread rapidly to other parts of the body.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>But in the end, this person had to go to the hospital and spend Yom Tov and more in the hospital in order to get the proper treatment for what was now a serious condition.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>You never know for sure, but it is possible this could have been solved before it got out of hand with some oral antibiotic and soaking. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Heart Attack<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">We should all be educated enough to recognize signs and symptoms of a serious medical emergency is and we should know what to do.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>The most common emergency in adults is a heart attack.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>How do I know if I am having one and what is the procedure for immediate help?<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">These are the common signs of a possible heart attack:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">Pressure, tightness, pain, or a squeezing or aching sensation in your chest or arms that may spread to your neck, jaw or back.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">Nausea, indigestion, heartburn or abdominal pain.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">Shortness of breath.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">Cold sweat.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">Fatigue.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">Lightheadedness or sudden dizziness.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">This doesn\u2019t mean that if you have one or more of these symptoms you are definitely having a heart attack, but caution must be taken.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>If you think you might be having a heart attack, do the following: Act immediately. Some people wait too long because they don&#8217;t recognize the important signs and symptoms. Take these steps:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol class=\"ol1\">\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">Call for emergency medical help. If you suspect you&#8217;re having a heart attack, don&#8217;t hesitate. Immediately call your local emergency number. The number is Israel is 101, in the United States it is 911 and in England 999 and the rest of Europe is 112.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>If you don&#8217;t have access to emergency medical services, have someone drive you to the nearest hospital.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">Drive yourself only if there are no other options. Because your condition can worsen, driving yourself puts you and others at risk.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">Take nitroglycerin, if prescribed to you by a doctor. Take it as instructed while awaiting emergency help.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">Take aspirin, if recommended. Taking aspirin during a heart attack could reduce heart damage by helping to keep your blood from clotting.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Aspirin can interact with other medications, however, so don&#8217;t take an aspirin unless your doctor or emergency medical personnel recommend it. Don&#8217;t delay calling your emergency number to take an aspirin. <b>Call for emergency help first.<\/b><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">If you witness someone having a heart attack, call for help immediately before anything else.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>If the person is conscious, stay with them and keep them as calm and reassured as possible.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Tell them help is on the way.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>If the person loses consciousness, call for help first before anything else.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>If the person is NOT breathing, begin CPR\u2014for laymen now, the protocols are simple.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Do chest compressions at the rate of about 100 per minute.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Only if you are trained in CPR should you be executing rescue breaths as well.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Help should arrive quickly.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>If you are not trained in CPR, it is a good idea to take a course in proper rescue and first aid.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>These courses may be offered by your local Hatzolah. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Stroke<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Another common emergency is that of having a stroke.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Beware of the symptoms:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">Sudden numbness or weakness of the face, arm or leg, especially on one side of the body<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">Sudden confusion, trouble speaking or understanding<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">Sudden trouble seeing or blurred vision in one or both eyes<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">Sudden trouble walking, dizziness, loss of balance or coordination<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">Sudden severe headache with no known cause<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Every moment counts.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>If you have any of these symptoms or are with someone who does, the sooner they get help, the less severe the aftermath of the stroke can be.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Summon help at once through your local emergency number.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Bleeding<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">In most cases, bleeding is not a serious emergency, however, bleeding from an artery or major vein can lead to hypovolemic shock and death.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>If you see someone bleeding, put pressure, preferably with a clean dressing, immediately and hold it there.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Don\u2019t take it off.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>In the vast majority of cases, this will stop bleeding.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>If it is from a deep cut, then stiches or glue may be called for.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>If you are in a situation where you see someone bleeding out, do the following:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">Remove any obvious dirt or debris from the wound. Don&#8217;t remove large or deeply embedded objects. Don&#8217;t probe the wound or attempt to clean it yet. Your first job is to stop the bleeding. Wear disposable protective gloves if available.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">Stop the bleeding. Place a sterile bandage or clean cloth on the wound. Press the bandage firmly with your palm to control bleeding. Maintain pressure by binding the wound tightly with a bandage or a piece of clean cloth. Secure with adhesive tape. Use your hands if nothing else is available. Raise the injured part above the level of the heart.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">Don&#8217;t put direct pressure on an eye injury or embedded object.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">Don&#8217;t reposition or put pressure on displaced organs. Cover the wound with a clean dressing.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">Help the injured person lie down, preferably on a rug or blanket to prevent loss of body heat. If possible, elevate the legs.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">Don&#8217;t remove the gauze or bandage. If the bleeding seeps through the gauze or other cloth on the wound, add another bandage on top of it. And keep pressing firmly on the area.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">A tourniquet is effective in controlling life-threatening bleeding from a limb. Apply a tourniquet ONLY if you&#8217;re trained in how to do so. When emergency help arrives, explain how long the tourniquet has been in place.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\">Immobilize the injured body part once the bleeding has stopped. Leave the bandages in place and get the injured person to the emergency room as soon as possible.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">After you control the bleeding, call 101 or your local emergency number if the bleeding is the result of major trauma or injury. Also call for emergency help if you suspect internal bleeding.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b><i>(All first aid recommendations for all of the above emergencies are based on the protocols published by the Mayo Clinic)<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Of course, it is best when we take care of ourselves in every way possible to reduce the chances of ever having an emergency medical incident.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Exercising and eating right, as well as basic safety measures like wearing a seat belt in your car and a helmet, when you bike can go a long way to helping disease and illness prevention and trauma from accidents.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>But in the event a medical emergency is suspected, don\u2019t say \u201cIt will go away!\u201d<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>It might&#8211;but it might not.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>This is not something we want to take a chance with. <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>I once heard from the Talmid of a gadol from the last generation a very important point.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>He said that as far as going to the hospital or some medical clinic on Shabbos, if you would go during the week, then you should go on Shabbos as well.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Knowing the signs and symptoms of a possible medical emergency will <b><i>\u201cadd hours to your day, days to your year and years to your life.\u201d\u00a0<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\n<hr \/>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/ou-images\/content\/alans_fitness.JPG\" alt=\"image\" width=\"126\" height=\"126\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Alan Freishtat<\/strong> is an A.C.E.
