Heart health should not be neglected. If you have high blood pressure, cholesterol, or diabetes and experience any of the above symptoms, you should see a cardiologist immediately and get an ECG or treadmill test done.
Seeking treatment at the right time can help prevent major damage to the heart muscle. A healthy diet, exercise, and quitting smoking can greatly reduce the risk of heart attack.
Here are 6 major signs that your body shows before a heart attack:
Unusual Fatigue: Extreme fatigue that lasts for days without doing any strenuous work. This can be a sign of reduced blood flow to the heart.
Chest Discomfort: A feeling of pressure or tightness in the chest. This can come and go.
Shortness of Breath: Shortness of breath when walking short distances or climbing stairs.
Pain in other parts of the body: Pain that starts in the chest and spreads to the left arm, jaw, neck, and spine is very serious.
Chronic indigestion: Stomach discomfort and nausea, which many people dismiss as gas problems, can be a sign of a heart attack.
Excessive sweating: Sudden sweating in cold weather or while resting is a sign that the heart is under increased strain.
