Did you know that the main cause of death in the US are heart
attacks? The stressful way of life and the junk food we keep eating is a
great contributor for this illness becoming so common and so dangerous
over the last years.
Leading a healthy lifestyle and trying to decrease the levels of
stress in your life can help protect you from heart failure, but another
thing that can be very useful, even lifesaving, is knowing the symptoms
of heart failure a month before it happens.
Fatigue
When the arteries become narrow your heart receives a lot less blood
than it is used to. This makes the heart work a whole lot harder than it
normally would have to, leaving you feeling overly tired and drowsy
just about all of the time.
Shortness of breath
When your heart is getting less blood this means it your lungs are
not going to be able to get as much oxygen to the lungs as you normally
would. The two systems depend on one another so without one you can’t
have the other. If you have been having trouble breathing it is best to
consult a doctor as soon as possible, this could mean it is getting
close to time for your attack.
Weakness
When your body becomes weak, all of a sudden it is because the
arteries becoming more narrow are not allowing blood circulation
properly. Your muscles aren’t getting what they need, and this could
cause you to fall even for what may seem like at first no reason so be
especially careful.
Dizziness and Cold Sweats
The poor circulations is also causing the blood flow to your brain to
be restricted. This is very life threatening. This will at first cause
dizziness and clamminess. You should not ignore this.
Chest Pressure
If you are having onset symptoms of a heart attack chances are you
have been experiencing discomfort in your chest, whether it’s minor pain
or built-up pressure.This will constantly increase until the attack
itself happens.
Flu or Cold Symptoms
If you feel as if you are having flu symptoms out of nowhere this
could be because the attack itself is about to happen within the near
future. Many people feel they have developed a cold just days before
their attacks.
How to handle this:
If you or someone you know is experiencing these symptoms, please see
a doctor as soon as possible. The best way to prevent a heart attack is
by noticing the symptoms early on.
