Ketika merasakan nyeri di sekitar dada, orang sering menduga itu adalah pertanda serangan jantung. Sejatinya, salah satu ciri gejala permasalahan jantung memang berupa adanya rasa nyeri di area dada.
Akan tetapi, tidak semua nyeri diakibatkan penyakit tersebut. Bisa jadi nyeri akibat pengaruh tubuh sedang mengalami stres atau adanya syaraf yang bereaksi di sekitar kulit di area dada.
“Nyeri jantung dengan yang bukan, bisa kita bedakan dengan cara sederhana, kalau nyerinya sama dengan gejala penyakit jantung maka segera periksakan diri,” kata Dokter spesialis jantung dan pembuluh darah RS Pusat Pertamina Hengkie F Lasanudin, di Jakarta, Kamis.
Ketika seseorang terkena serangan jantung, nyeri dada yang dirasakan akan menyebar di area dada dan bagian tubuh sekitar dada kiri. Jadi nyerinya bisa ditunjuk lokasinya dengan ujung jari, maka nyeri itu berada di dinding kulit dada, bukan dari jantung, menurut Hengkie.
“Kemudian, rasa nyeri yang dirasakan penderita berlangsung tidak terlalu singkat maupun lama bahkan sampai berhari-hari, nyeri seperti itu bukan berasal dari jantung,” ujar Hengkie.
Rasa nyeri gejala penyakit jantung juga akan dirasakan saat penderita beraktivitas berat. Semakin berat pekerjaan yang dilakukan maka semakin nyeri terasa di jantung.
“Contohnya naik tangga, semakin berat kerja jantung semakin kelihatan kekurangan oksigennya, jadi makin sakit dan jika kita istirahatkan dia hilang,” kata Hengkie.

However, not all pain results in the mentioned disease. It can be just our body coping with stress or there is a nerve that reacts around the skin in the chest area.
“Heart pains and those are not, can be differentiated with a normal method. If the pain is the same as the symptom of a heart attack, immediately do a check-up,” said a heart specialist Doctor and Blood Vessel Hospital Central Pertamina Hengkie F Lasanudin, in Jakarta, Thursday.
When a person has a heart attack, the chest pain he experiences will spread in the chest area and the body parts around the left chest. Therefore, the location of the pain can be pointed with the tip of your fingers; the pain is on the surface of the chest, not from the heart, according to Hengkie.
“Then, the pain that can be felt right away is not short and instant but rather long and might even take days, such pain does not originate from the heart,” said Hengkie.
The pain symptom of a heart attack can also be felt when the sufferer does a heavy activity. The heavier the activity, the clearer the pain can be felt from the heart.
“For example, climbing the stairs, the heavier the heart works, the clearer how oxygen deficient the person is and the pain increases. When he rests, the pain disappears,” said Hengkie.
