In the United States, heart attacks are the main cause of death. Did you know that?
People who live busy lives and eat poorly are two main reasons why this illness has become more common in recent years. It can be very helpful and even life-saving to know the signs of heart failure a month in advance. This information can help you avoid heart failure along with living a healthy life and lowering your stress.
If you notice these signs, you might be having a heart attack in the next month. It’s important to see them as danger signs.
Feet That Are Swollen
In people with acute heart failure, the lower chambers of their heart may stop pumping blood as well as they used to. Because of this, blood can build up in your feet, knees, and legs, making them swell.
Feeling tired
Your heart doesn’t get as much blood when your arteries are small. This makes your heart work harder than normal, which makes you feel very tired and sleepy.
Being unable to breathe
If your heart doesn’t get enough blood, your lungs might not get enough air either. Because these two systems are linked, having trouble breathing could mean that you need to see a doctor right away because it could mean that an attack is about to happen.
Not Strong Enough
When your arteries get small, blood flow is slowed down, which makes your body weak. Your muscles might not be getting enough food, which can make you fall down without warning. Be extra careful.
Loss of balance and cold sweats
If your circulation is bad, blood flow to your brain can be cut off, which is very dangerous and could kill you. At first, this might make you feel dizzy and cold. Do not ignore these signs.
Pressure in the chest
You may have been feeling pain or pressure in your chest if you are having signs of a heart attack. This feeling will get stronger over time until the attack actually happens.
Signs of a cold or flu
If you quickly feel like you have the flu, it could mean that the flu is coming soon. A lot of people mistake the first signs of a cold for the start of the flu.
What you should do: It is important to see a doctor right away if you or someone you know is showing these signs. Finding the signs of a heart attack early is very important for keeping one from happening.
