\u2026but the reality is that heart attacks are often much more subtle!<\/p>\n
It is estimated that as many as one in four heart attacks are \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 four more \u201cwarning\u201d signs that a heart attack could be pending, which you need to be aware of.<\/p>\n
\u2013 Dull pain that comes and goes \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 \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 (when you normally don\u2019t). People usually sweat when they vomit or experience pain. If you have unexplained pain, nausea, and sweating together, get to the doctor immediately.<\/p>\n
\u2013 Shortness of breath \u2013 If you haven\u2019t been working out or if sitting down doesn\u2019t give you any relief from shortness of breath, go to the ER. If it hurts to inhale or exhale, or if you feel as if you are breathing through a straw, it\u2019s time to get help.<\/p>\n
Often, a general feeling of malaise or lethargy can persist 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
