While most people think a heart attack comes out of nowhere with symptoms of chest pains only, the vast majority of people do have some other signs approximately one month before. Here are the most common early signs you or someone you love may have heart disease, and even an impending heart attack. Heart disease is still the number one cause of death so paying attention to these is extremely important.
Headache
Weeks before a heart attack, many people report a chronic headache or migraine that simply does not go away.
Cold or Flu
A lot of heart attack survivors explain they have experienced cold or flu-like symptoms right before they had a heart attack. It’s good to be aware of this, since many people don’t address the problem properly.
Fatigue
Constant fatigue might be caused by low blood flow to the heart. If arteries are narrowed, the heart will receive less blood and will work much harder than normal. If you feel tired all the time, consult your doctor.
Shortness of Breath
Another sign that your arteries are narrowed and your blood flow reduced is the feeling of shortness of breath. In this situation, your lungs won’t get the necessary blood flow to work properly. Lungs and heart work together, so if one system doesn’t function properly, it affects the other. That’s why shortness of breath might be a sign that heart attack nears.
Body Weakness
Narrowing of the arteries leads to less blood flow and circulation, and this in turn causes body weakness, or weakened muscles. This is one of the first symptoms of heart attack, so be careful if do experience it.
Cold Sweats and Dizziness
Poor blood flow means less supply of blood to the brain. This causes cold sweats and dizziness, a clear sign that something is wrong in your body. Your body will feel unwell and clammy, and your brain won’t be able to operate properly. These are another important symptoms showing the possibility of heart attack in near future.
Chest Pressure
One of the major signs of heart attacks is chest pain or pressure. As the potential heart attack approaches, your chest pressure or pain will increase. The pain can as well spread to other parts of your body, like the back, arms, and shoulders.
