A month before a heart attack, your body gives you a warning – These are the 6 signs!

A heart attack is a condition when an immediate blockage of the coronary artery occurs, which results in loss of blood supply and the death of the heart muscle.

The major culprit for a heart attack is actually the people’s lifestyle, i.e. consuming excessive amounts of unhealthy food and stress. Furthermore, the factors that can raise the risk of a heart attack are the following:

1. Obesity
2. High blood pressure
3. High cholesterol levels in the blood
4. Diabetes
5. Smoking
6. Sedentary life
7. Family history

However, people may prevent this lethal condition if they would only follow the signs of their bodies because the symptoms of heart attack can be noticed even a month before it.

Here is a list of the six signs your body gives you in order to warn you:

1. SHORTNESS OF BREATH

This is one of the 6 main symptoms of heart attack. If our lungs can get as much oxygen as they need, then your heart won’t get the blood it needs to come through it. These two systems are connected and if you don’t have one, you won’t have the other, too. If you’re having some troubles breathing, visit your doctor immediately because it could mean that it is getting close to time for your attack.

2. COLD AND FLU SYMPTOMS

Some people may experience these two symptoms right before they have a heart attack, so if you suspect on heart attack, contact your doctor immediately.

3. CHEST PRESSURE

People often ignore this sign because they think it is something normal or nothing special and they don’t check themselves, but it is not normal in any case. Chest pressure is a clear sign of a heart attack. It is the most obvious of them which means that a heart attack can occur in the near future. So, the following time you feel chest pressure, visit your doctor immediately.

4. WEAKNESS

Weakness is another one of the 6 signs that shows that in near future you might experience a heart attack. When your arteries become narrow, they don’t allow the blood to circulate properly. That means that the muscles are not getting what they need, and this could cause you to fall. Be very careful if you start experiencing some kind of weakness and visit your doctor.

5. COLD SWEATS AND DIZZINESS

Poor circulation affects the proper blood flow to the brain, which is the most important thing for the brain to operate appropriately.

6. FATIGUE

Also a very important one of the 6 signs is fatigue. If you feel tiredness and drowsiness even after you’ve been sleeping or resting for a longer period of time and that continues for days and days, it might mean that you have a loss of blood flow to your heart.

Recognizing any of these symptoms and treating them immediately is the best way of preventing heart attack. Be very careful and if you experience any of these symptoms, visit your doctor to make sure that you keep your cardiovascular health in the best shape possible!
