News India Live, Digital Desk: Heart Attack Warning Signs: Whenever we hear the word ‘heart attack’, that scene with films comes to our mind – a person suddenly catches his chest and falls down. We all think that heart attack means sharp and unbearable pain in the chest. But this is just a small part of the story.
The reality is much more different and scary. Many times our body starts giving us small and strange signals a few days of heart attack, which we often ignore as a minor fatigue, gas or age. This is called the danger of ‘silent’ heart attack, which comes suddenly and without any severe pain.
So let’s know about the hidden symptoms that can save you or your own life.
1. Jaw, neck or back pain
You will think that there is a toothache or perhaps the neck is swollen at bedtime, but it can be a big sign of heart problem. When the heart does not get enough oxygen, its pain is not limited to the chest, but it can spread to your jaw, neck, shoulder and back through the veins. If you are feeling a light and sweet pain continuously in these places, do not consider it a minor.
2. Excessive and unnecessary fatigue
If you start breathing in the stairs or coming from the market to home without doing any heavy work and you get tired badly, then it is a bell of danger. When the heart starts to weaken, it is not able to pump blood properly in the body, so that the whole oxygen does not reach our organs. This is why fatigue and heaviness in the body feels all the time.
3. Nausea, indigestion or abdominal pain
This is the symptom that 9 out of 10 people consider it as ‘gas’ or acidity. But feeling like pain in the upper abdomen, irritation or nausea can also be an early symptom of heart attack, especially in women. If you are having cold sweat or feeling dizzy with indigestion, then it can be a heart problem, not digestion.
4. Erosion in hand or shoulder
We have all heard that left hand pain is a symptom of heart attack, but it is not always pain. Sometimes it may feel like heaviness, pressure, stretch or numbness in the hand. This restlessness can start with one hand and spread to the other hand.
5. Breathing difficulty and dizziness
If you also feel that you are not able to breathe properly or there is darkness in front of the eyes when you are standing suddenly, then it is a sign that your heart is not able to pump blood according to the body’s need, due to which the brain is not getting complete oxygen.
