Heart Attack: Early Warning Signs
Research shows over half of heart attacks give off warning signs up to a month in advance. Spotting these symptoms early means getting medical help on time.
Typical early warnings:
- Fatigue: Feeling super tired or struggling with daily chores.
- Chest Tightness & Breathlessness: Can happen when you’re active or stressed.
These signs are more common in women, yet many don’t rush to the doctor.
During a heart attack, it’s key to recognize symptoms like chest pressure, pain shooting to the arms, jaw, back, plus dizziness, sweating, nausea, and shortness of breath.
Risk Factors are age, smoking, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, being overweight, diabetes, and stress. Keeping a healthy lifestyle is a must to lower your heart disease risk.
