A heart attack is a fatal medical condition. According to the World Health Organization, 17.9 million people worldwide die from cardiovascular disease every year. Out of these, 4 out of 5 deaths are due to heart attack.
Although most people think that heart attack happens suddenly in reality the truth is completely different. Before a heart attack occurs, the body goes through a whole process, due to which many types of symptoms start appearing. This is called the initial sign of heart attack. In a recent study, 7 such symptoms have been identified.

According to a study conducted on 243 people published in NCBI, 41 percent of the people undergoing treatment for heart attack in the health center reported experiencing some symptoms related to it a month ago.
