Here are 9 warning signs that your body may show a month before a heart attack, especially in women:
Unusual Fatigue: Unexplained tiredness or sudden energy loss.
Sleep Disturbances: Insomnia or frequent waking during the night.
Anxiety: A sense of impending doom or unease.
Lightheadedness: Feeling dizzy or faint.
Shortness of Breath: Difficulty breathing, even without chest pain.
Indigestion or Gas: Nausea, vomiting, or stomach discomfort.
Cold Sweats: Clammy skin and excessive sweating.
Jaw or Back Pain: Discomfort in areas like the jaw, neck, or stomach.
Chest Pressure: A squeezing or burning feeling in the chest, often radiating to the arm.
Women, especially over 50, may experience these symptoms due to hormonal changes.
Additionally, silent heart attacks can occur without noticeable symptoms, often resulting in more fatigue and difficulty exercising.
Regular checkups with your doctor can help monitor heart health and prevent severe damage.
If you experience any of these symptoms, consult your healthcare provider immediately.
