Did you know heart attacks are the leading cause of death in the US? “The stressful way of life and the junk food we keep eating” have made this condition more common and dangerous. While a healthy lifestyle and reduced stress can lower your risk, recognizing early warning signs can be lifesaving.
Here are symptoms to watch for one month before a heart attack:
- Swollen Feet: Poor heart function causes blood to pool in the legs, ankles, and feet, leading to edema.
- Fatigue: Narrowed arteries make the heart work harder, leaving you constantly tired.
- Shortness of Breath: Reduced blood flow limits oxygen supply, affecting your lungs.
- Weakness: Poor circulation weakens muscles and may cause sudden falls.
- Dizziness and Cold Sweats: Limited blood flow to the brain can lead to lightheadedness and clammy skin.
Treat these as red flags and consult a doctor immediately.
