According to research, in the days or months leading up to a heart attack, people experience certain symptoms known as prodromal symptoms.<\/h3>\n

A\u00a0research\u00a0published in\u00a0The National Library of Medicine,\u00a0<\/em>states that the prodromal symptoms are often overlooked by patients and primary clinicians.<\/p>\n

Some of those symptoms \u201cinclude chest pain, chest heaviness, chest burning, palpitations, fatigue, sleep disturbance, shortness of breath (SOB), dizziness, anxiety, sudden heat or cold, back pain, and vomiting.\u201d<\/p>\n

1. Fatigue<\/h2>\n

Being extremely tired, sleepy, exhausted or lacking energy to perform even the slightest of tasks can be a sign of fatigue. One of the reasons it may affect a person are the lowered levels of blood that go to the heart. This usually takes place when arteries get narrowed. Fatigue can easily happen\u00a0if someone experiences heart issues.<\/p>\n

2. Shortness of breath<\/h2>\n

The shortness of breath happens when the lungs don\u2019t get the appropriate levels of oxygen needed for a proper function of the body. If you or someone you know experiences shortness of breath it is for the best to consult a doctor because it may be a sign of a potential heart attack. As per\u00a0WebMD,\u00a0<\/em>\u201cshortness of breath and feeling tired can be signs of\u00a0[heart failure.]\u201d<\/p>\n

Heart failure\u00a0refers\u00a0to the heart\u2019s inability to pump blood around the body properly.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

3. Weakness<\/h2>\n

If you start experiencing weakness all of a sudden because of a an unknown reason your body might want to remind you to take things slowly and reconsider your lifestyle.<\/p>\n

4. Dizziness and Cold Sweats<\/h2>\n

Both dizziness and\u00a0cold sweats\u00a0can be a result of poor circulation, something that must not be ignored.<\/p>\n

5. Flu or Cold-like Symptoms<\/h2>\n

A great number of people who have experienced heart attack say that they developed\u00a0flu-like symptoms\u00a0mere days before the attack took place.<\/p>\n

6. Chest Pressure<\/h2>\n

A common symptom of heart attack is the\u00a0chest pressure\u00a0one might experience. This pressure will constantly increase until the attack itself happens.<\/p>\n

7. Swollen Feet<\/h2>\n

If you have congestive heart failure, one or both of your heart\u2019s lower chambers lose their ability to pump blood effectively. As a result, blood can back up in your legs, ankles and feet, causing edema.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
