Most people in today’s world have busy schedules that they must adhere to. Stress from this can easily lead to more significant health problems down the road. Fast food, which is consumed by the majority of Americans, is another element that has a detrimental impact on life quality. Many Americans struggle to maintain a healthy weight, and obesity is a problem that many of them deal with.
Heart failure or an attack on the heart is one of the effects of the aforementioned. Actually, the leading cause of death in the United States is heart attacks.
Some study suggests that the body can sense when a heart attack is going to happen and is attempting to alert us.
The following are a few indicators we should be aware of and work to alleviate as soon as possible:
1. Lethargy
Fatigue can manifest as being too sleepy, weary, or lacking the energy to do even the smallest of chores. The reduced amounts of blood that reach the heart are among the factors that could have an impact on an individual. This typically occurs as a result of artery narrowing. Fatigue is a common occurrence among people with cardiac problems.
2. Breathlessness
When the lungs don’t get the right amounts of oxygen required for the body to function properly, shortness of breath results. It is best to see a doctor if you or someone you know feels short of breath as it could be an indication of an impending heart attack.
3. Frailty
Your body may be trying to tell you to slow down and reevaluate your lifestyle if you suddenly start feeling weak for no apparent reason.
4. Cold sweats and vertigo
It’s important to remember that poor circulation can cause both dizziness and cold sweats.
5. Symptoms of the Flu or the Cold
Many persons who have had heart attacks claim that they had flu-like symptoms just a few days prior to the incident.
6. Pressure in the Chest
The feeling of pressure in the chest is a common sign of a heart attack. This pressure won’t let up until the actual attack takes place.
