Nowadays, the majority of people have hectic schedules that they have to follow. This stress can easily contribute to more serious health issues in the future. The majority of Americans eat fast food, which is another factor that negatively affects life quality. Obesity is a problem that many Americans face, and many of them struggle to maintain a healthy weight.
One of the consequences of the above is heart failure or a heart attack. Actually, heart attacks are the country’s top cause of death.
According to some research, the body may sense when a heart attack is about to occur and is trying to warn us.
We should be mindful of the following signs and take immediate action to address them:
1. Lethargic
Being too tired, sleepy, or lacking energy to do even the easiest tasks can all be signs of fatigue. One of the things that could affect a person is the decreased volumes of blood that go to the heart. The usual cause of this is arterial narrowing. People with heart issues frequently experience fatigue.
2. Inability to breathe
Breathlessness occurs when the lungs don’t get the correct amounts of oxygen that the body needs to function. If you or someone you know is experiencing dyspnea, it is advisable to consult a physician as this may be a sign of an imminent heart attack.
3. Weakness
If you find yourself feeling weaker than usual for no obvious reason, your body might be telling you to slow down and reassess your lifestyle.
4. Vertigo and cold sweats
It’s crucial to keep in mind that hypotension can result in both lightheadedness and chills.
5. Signs of the Cold or the Flu
Many people who have suffered from heart attacks report having flu-like symptoms just a few days before the attack.
6. Chest Pressure
Chest tightness is a common indicator of an impending heart attack. Up until the actual attack, this pressure won’t let up.
Congestive heart failure results in a loss of effective blood pumping capability in one or both of the bottom chambers of the heart. Blood clotting in your ankles, foot, and legs might therefore result in edema.
