Heart attacks are now the leading cause of death worldwide, often caused by stress and poor diet. Recognizing early symptoms—sometimes showing up a month before—can save lives.
**1. Chest Pressure**
A tight or uncomfortable feeling in your chest could mean a heart attack is coming. “This is a clear symptom that a heart attack can take place in the near future.”
**2. Trouble Breathing**
If your lungs don’t get enough oxygen, your heart can’t function well. “If you have problems with breathing, immediately consult your physician.”
**3. Fatigue, Weakness & Drowsiness**
Poor circulation makes the heart work harder, leading to constant tiredness. “If this goes on for days and days, you could be having a loss of blood flow to the heart.”
**4. Cold Sweats, Dizziness & Flu-like Symptoms**
Sweating, light-headedness, or feeling like you have the flu can be early signs of a heart issue. Many mistake these for harmless colds.
**5. Swollen Feet**
When the heart doesn’t pump well, fluid builds up in the legs and feet.
**Take Action:**
If you or someone you know experiences these symptoms, “see a doctor right away.” Early detection can prevent serious damage—or even save a life.
