**Early Heart Attack Warning Signs**
Studies show that more than 50% of heart attacks come with warning signs up to a month before the event. Recognizing these symptoms is vital for timely medical attention.
Common early warning signs include:
– **Fatigue**: Extreme tiredness or difficulty performing everyday tasks.
– **Chest Tightness & Breathlessness**: May occur during physical activity or stress.
These symptoms are more common in women, but many don’t seek medical help right away.
During a heart attack, symptoms like chest pressure, pain radiating to the arms, jaw, back, dizziness, sweating, nausea, and shortness of breath are critical to recognize.
**Risk Factors** include age, tobacco use, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, obesity, diabetes, and stress. It’s crucial to maintain a healthy lifestyle to reduce your risk of heart disease.
