A Serious Public Health Concern

There are many health problems in our society today. You have people worrying about the whooping cough, someone getting cancer, diabetes, having high cholesterol, high and low blood pressure, the swine flu, and many other things. Even though these are some serious health concerns that are in my community, I believe that there is a more serious health concern that we all need to attend to. The public health concern that I believe needs immediate attention is heart problems.

There are many people who die each and every day from having a heart problem. In fact both of my grandfathers died because they had heart problems. I believe that we should do something about that because as life goes on, there are going to be more and more people dying of having heart problems. Some of these heart problems could be because an artery was clogged, they had cardiac arrest, a heart attack, they had an enlarged heart, they had a pace maker, or maybe they even had just a weak heart. All of these heart problems need to be overlooked and taken more seriously before they end up like my grandfathers who did not make it.

In conclusion, heart problems are a public health concern that I believe is serious enough to warrant immediate attention. Not only are there too many people dying because of it, but I also believe that nothing is really being done and there should be something done. Heart problems should be addressed more better to avoid this problem.
