6 Signs Of A Heart Attack… A Month In Advance

Many people know the signs of a heart attack when it’s happening, but how about before it’s too late to avoid it?

The signs

• Unusual fatigue: persistent tiredness that doesn’t improve with rest
• Shortness of breath: unexplained breathlessness during light activities or rest, which can be caused by fluid buildup in the lungs (because the heart isn’t circulating blood as well as it should)
• Chest discomfort: pain, pressure, tightness, or aching in the chest due to reduced blood flow to the heart muscle—often occurring during physical exertion or emotional stress
• Frequent indigestion: means that heartburn could be heart-related! This is about persistently reoccurring discomfort or pain in the upper abdomen
• Sleep disturbances: difficulties falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking up abruptly
• Excessive sweating: unexplained cold sweats or sudden sweating without physical exertion or excessive heat, can be a response to the decreased oxygen levels caused by less efficient blood flow

Note: this is a list of warning signs, not a diagnostic tool. Any or even all of these could be caused by something else. Just, don’t ignore the signs and do get yourself checked out.
