Amidst the changing lifestyle and increasing stress in the country, cases of heart attack are increasing rapidly. The most worrying thing is that now young people are also falling prey to it. The founder and renowned cardiologist of Saaol Heart Center has issued an important warning on this serious situation. According to Dr., about a month before a heart attack, our body starts giving some special signals. If these early symptoms are recognized on time, lives can be saved.

Heart Attack Signs: One month before a heart attack, the body gives these 6 serious signs, the doctor warned

6 main symptoms visible one month before heart attack

Dr. has explained in detail about those 6 major warning signs, which people often ignore considering them to be normal problems:

• Discomfort and heaviness in the chest: If you suddenly feel tightness, pressure, heaviness or burning sensation in the chest and it gets better after some time, then do not take it lightly. This may be an early pattern of heart disease.
• Shortness of breath while walking a little: Difficulty in talking while walking normally or starting to pant while climbing stairs is a big sign. This symptom is especially seen in the elderly and diabetic patients.
• Tiredness without any reason: If your body is not supporting you even while doing routine work and you are getting tired very quickly, then it can be a sign of a weak heart.
• Pain in both arms and jaw: Apart from chest, if pain persists in both your arms, neck, jaw, shoulders or upper back, then it is a silent sign of heart attack.
• Cold Sweating: Sudden sweating, dizziness or continuous feeling of vomiting even when the weather is cold indicates weakness of the heart.
• Frequent sleep interruptions: If your sleep suddenly breaks several times a month or you are having a lot of trouble sleeping at night, then this can also be a symptom of heart-related diseases.

These people are most at risk: High Risk Group

According to Dr., people with certain medical conditions are at highest risk of heart diseases. This includes people with high blood pressure (High BP), diabetes, increased bad cholesterol and smoking. Apart from this, people who have a family history of heart disease or who have crossed the age of 40 and do not do any kind of physical activity or exercise, need to be extremely cautious.

expert advice

“Heart attack does not come suddenly, the body starts giving its signs a month in advance. Do not mistake symptoms like heaviness in the chest or shortness of breath for gas or general fatigue. If you are feeling any of these symptoms repeatedly, immediately contact a doctor and get yourself checked.”
