• Using the task sheet answer the questions from the video
• A heart attack occurs when the blood flow and oxygen supply to the heart is restricted and part of the heart muscle becomes damaged or dies.
• Causes• The coronary artery
becomes blocked either by a clot or build up of fatty deposits inside the walls of the artery causing them to narrow. A total blockage will cause a heart attack, but if the blood flow remains partial, then it is known as angina.
• Symptoms• Pain and tightness across
the chest, left shoulder and arm
• Breathlessness• Fainting• Pale skin• Rapid, weak or irregular
pulse• Drop in blood pressure
• Treatment• Immediate emergency
medical attention

common colds, coughs, sore throats and flu. Viruses (small infectious organisms) normally infect one part of the body, but can then spread, for example as a cold develops, it may spread to the chest or ear and become an infection
• Causes• Viruses are highly contagious and can
be transmitted from person to person by coughing, sneezing or physical contact.
• Symptoms• Symptoms vary depending on the
type of virus, but common signs include:
• High temperature• Sore throat• Sweating or shivering• Aching muscles• Severe tiredness• Treatment• Drink plenty of water• Rest • Avoid strenuous exercise
• Dehydration occurs when the body loses too much water and salt (sodium and potassium). This can commonly occur during exercise as the body naturally starts to lose fluids during exercise through sweat.
• Dehydration• Dehydration occurs when the body
loses too much water and salt (sodium and potassium). This can commonly occur during exercise as the body naturally starts to lose fluids during exercise through sweat.
• Causes• Excessive sweating • Exercising in the heat• Too little fluid intake. • Symptoms• Dry mouth• Low urine output• Dark urine colour• Dry skin• Tiredness.• Treatment• Dehydration can be prevented by
