Many people consider having a heart attack as easy to spot \u2013 pain in the chest, left arm and jaw, and all the sweaty drama that goes with it \u2013 it\u2019s the stuff TV medical dramas are made of\u2026<\/p>\nMany people consider having a heart attack as easy to spot \u2013 pain in the chest, left arm and jaw, and all the sweaty drama that goes with it \u2013 it\u2019s the stuff TV medical dramas are made of\u2026<\/p>\n
\u2026but the reality is heart attacks are much more subtle!<\/p>\n
It is estimated that as many as 1 in 4 heart attacks are considered \u201csilent,\u201d meaning they appear out of the blue, with no clear warning signs preceding the event.<\/p>\n
Heart disease causes more deaths than cancer each year, but researchers have pinpointed 4 more \u201cwarning\u201d signs a heart attack could be pending, which you need to be aware of, even if you don\u2019t smoke and lead a healthy life.<\/p>\n
\u2013 Dull, coming-and-going pain<\/strong> \u2013 It\u2019s not just the sudden sharp pains you should be worried about. ANY discomfort in the upper body and extremities can be cause for concern. <\/p>\n \u2013 Nausea and vomiting<\/strong> \u2013 if you are going about your day, feeling generally well and suddenly start vomiting, it\u2019s time to pay heed. Note how many times this occurs and contact your doctor. <\/p>\n \u2013 Sweating<\/strong> \u2013 (when you normally don\u2019t). People usually sweat when they vomit or experience pain. But if you have pain, nausea, and<\/em> sweating all lumped together, get to the doctor immediately.<\/p>\n \u2013 Shortness of breath<\/strong> \u2013 If you haven\u2019t been working out, or sitting down doesn\u2019t bring any relief, go to the ER. If it hurts to inhale or exhale, or you feel as if you are breathing through a straw, it\u2019s time to get help.<\/p>\n Many times, a general feeling of malaise or lethargy can happen for days or even weeks leading up to a heart attack, so if you have been feeling under the weather and these other symptoms start to appear, seek medical help.<\/p>\n
