Heart attacks are the leading cause of death in the U.S., often linked to stress and unhealthy diets. Adopting a healthier lifestyle and reducing stress can help, but recognizing warning signs a month before a heart attack is crucial.
Symptoms to Watch For:
- Swollen Feet: Blood backs up in your legs due to weakened heart chambers, causing edema.
- Fatigue: Narrowed arteries limit blood flow, leaving you feeling constantly tired.
- Shortness of Breath: Reduced oxygen flow to the lungs impacts breathing and signals trouble.
- Weakness: Poor circulation weakens muscles, increasing the risk of sudden falls.
- Dizziness and Cold Sweats: Restricted blood flow to the brain causes clamminess and dizziness, a serious red flag.
- Chest Pressure: Persistent chest discomfort or pressure may build up to an attack.
- Flu-Like Symptoms: Sudden cold or flu symptoms can occur days before a heart attack.
What to Do:
If you notice these signs, consult a doctor immediately. Early detection is key to preventing a heart attack.
