In the last couple of years, heart attacks have become very common among the worldwide population. Unfortunately, they’re the number 1 reason for death in the world. They occur as a consequence of our stressful lifestyles and unhealthy diets.
You can protect your cardiovascular health by improving your lifestyle- follow a healthier diet and lower the amount of stress. Also, it’s good to recognize the symptoms of heart failure that usually begin to show a month before the heart experiences a failure:
1. Shortness of breath
When the lungs don’t get enough oxygen, your heart won’t get the blood which needs to pass through it. Therefore, if you have problems with breathing, immediately consult your physician.
2. Cold and flu symptoms
A lot of people, before they experience a heart attack, experience these two symptoms.
3. Chest pressure
This is a clear symptom that a heart attack can take place in the near future. It’s important to consult your physician if you experience chest ache.
4. Weakness
When the arteries tighten, proper blood flow is prevented. Hence, the muscles aren’t getting what they need, which may lead to heart failure. Therefore, if you experience constant fatigue and weakness, consult your physician.
5. Cold sweats and dizziness
Poor circulation disrupts the proper blood flow to the brain, which is crucial for the proper functioning of the brain.
6. Drowsiness
If you still feel tired and drowsy after sleeping or resting for some time, and if this goes on for days and days, you could be having a loss of blood flow to the heart.
Prevention of heart attacks is very important; noticing and treating the above mentioned symptoms timely, will significantly lower the chances for heart attacks.
