Know about heart attack and its signs
A heart attack occurs due to obstruction of blood flow to the heart muscle. Heart attacks can occur with or without common symptoms like chest pain. Apart from this, some people may also experience other symptoms including chest tightness, shoulder and jaw pain along with sweating and fatigue.
Let us know what are the other signs of heart attack which require serious attention.
Difficulty in breathing
There can be many reasons for difficulty in breathing, but if you keep having this problem often then be careful about it, in some situations, it can also be a sign of a heart attack. Doctors say there is a close connection between breathing and your heart's ability to effectively pump blood. If your heart can't pump blood well, you may feel short of breath. This is also seen as a sign of a heart attack.
Feeling extremely tired
You may feel tired due to overwork or lack of sleep. It is considered a major sign of heart attack in women. According to the American Heart Association, if you are experiencing chest pain, jaw or left arm pain along with fatigue, then you need to pay serious attention to such signs. Tiredness is felt due to the extra effort required to pump the heart.
Excessive sweating
Sweating more than usual, especially if you're not exercising or being physically active, can be an early warning sign of heart problems. Your heart has to work harder to pump blood through clogged arteries, so your body sweats more to keep your body temperature down. If you are experiencing cold sweat or clammy skin along with other symptoms, take it seriously and consult a doctor immediately.
