Five of the Most Important Warning Signs of a Heart Attack

Chest Pain

One of the most well-known and important warning signs of a heart attack is chest pain.

This can range from a mild discomfort to excruciating pain.

The cause of the pain can be due to strong pressure or heaviness on the chest, but most patients generally don’t experience any chest pain before their heart attacks.

Pressure or Tightness on Body Parts

Another warning sign for heart attacks is tightness or pressure on your arm, neck, shoulder, or jaw.

Even intense pain in the shoulders or the chest are common indicators of a heart attack.

Nausea, Indigestion, & Vomiting

If people with strong digestion start experiencing frequent vomiting, nausea, or indigestion, this can be an indicator of a heart attack.

You should begin to worry if you can’t identify the reason for these symptoms and you don’t find any relief after practicing your general home remedies.

Sweating

A stressed heart can cause increased sweating, because the heart requires more effort to pump blood.

If you are sweating profusely, it is a clear indication and a warning sign of a heart attack.

More so when you haven’t been doing any physical activity to cause the sweating.

Physical Exhaustion & Shortness of Breath

The most important warning sign of a heart attack is the shortness of breath and physical exhaustion.

If you find yourself tired or out of breath all the time, even when you haven’t done much physical exercise, it is an early sign of heart disease or heart attacks.

Your body will be showing you that something is interfering with the functioning of the heart and you should consult with a doctor immediately if you experience this warning sign.
