Whilst a heart attack can often be sudden and unannounced, most other times, the condition develops over a period of time. You can read the warning signs and take the necessary precautions if you pay heed1.
1. Discomfort3 in the Chest
The most common warning sign of a heart attack is the feeling of discomfort or heaviness in the chest. This feeling could also be more of a burning sensation. Any of these symptoms should not be taken lightly, and if it occurs more than once, you need to rush to your doctor. If another person is complaining of the problem, chances are they have experienced the feeling before and are only expressing it now. So, rush them to the nearest doctor or hospital immediately for a check up.
2. Shortness of Breath
If your breathing gets heavy and the breath falls short even after a short walk, climb or other form of movement or exercise, it should be a huge cause of worry. Even if this condition is not accompanied with chest discomfort, it should be taken as a warning sign.
3. Sweating
Whilst sweating is inevitable4 in the scorching5 heat of May and June, excessive sweating even in cool conditions is uncalled for. If you notice such sweating, consult a medical professional immediately.
Regularly feeling nauseous of dizzy could imply the onset7 of a heart attack. Do not treat is callously8 as a sign of tiredness. This could happen due to the artery9 getting blocked. It could also display itself via excessive stress, fatigue10 after short spans of movement or exercise, or a feeling of weakness despite eating and sleeping well.
6. Unresponsiveness
If certain parts of your body begin to stop responding, do not ignore the circumstance. The affected13 parts may be the shoulders, arms or back of the neck.
Difficulty while speaking need not necessarily occur after a bout15 of drinking with the buddies16. It could be a graver situation than that! Inability to speak coherently could be the sign of a great attack. If you think you are suffering this ask a friend or relative to help by asking them to understand what you are saying.
A heart attack can be avoided if the warning signs are read correctly and in time. Seek medical aid immediately if one or more of the above symptoms are noticed. They could be the result of a choked artery. Even if heart attack is not the result, a check up should definitely not be avoided! Take care!
