BODY WARNS ONE MONTH BEFORE A HEART ATTACK – WARNING SIGNS YOU MUST KNOW

BODY WARNS ONE MONTH BEFORE A HEART ATTACK – WARNING SIGNS YOU MUST KNOW In this video, you would be able to know the symptoms of a heart attack. Your body may already be warning you a month before a heart attack. You should not ignore these signs! Approximately three-quarters of a million Americans suffer a heart attack each year, making it the leading cause of death in the United States. But did you know that your body could be giving warning signs well in advance of a heart attack? In fact, according to a study at Harvard University, only one in four heart attack patients did not experience any warning signs. Therefore, awareness can be crucial both in terms of prevention and survival. If you experience any of the following, see a doctor as soon as possible. 1. Fatigue If you are occasionally tired, there is probably no cause for concern. This can happen to anyone who has not been sleeping enough or who has been particularly active. But if you are really tired to the point where even simple activities like doing grocery shopping will tire you, or if you are out of breath climbing a flight of stairs, this should not be taken lightly. Fatigue can be caused when in stressful situations the heart is no longer receiving an adequate supply of blood and this could be a sign of an imminent myocardial infarction (also known as a heart attack). 2. Chest pressure A common warning sign of heart attack is a strong tightening in the chest. This is sometimes accompanied by a fast heart and pain in the chest, back, jaw, neck, arm or upper abdomen. 3. Shortness of breath Shortness of breath is a strong signal that your heart is not carrying enough oxygen to your lungs and this could be a sign of a blocked artery. If you are experiencing shortness of breath on a more than occasional basis under light or moderate exertion, this should trigger the alarm bells. 4. Dizziness and cold sweat If you notice these symptoms, you should see a doctor. Excessive sweating may be an early sign of a heart attack and dizziness is probably caused by lack of oxygen to the brain.
