Early Signs of Heart Attack: 3 Symptoms And How To Deal With "Silent Heart Attack"

Digital Desk: Heart attacks are on the rise in India. While many people believe it is because of the COVID-19 vaccines, there is no research or evidence to back this up. Several cases of young people succumbing to a heart attack were reported this year, where in most of these cases, the person simply collapsed on the floor and died on the spot.

A heart attack has its own early signs and symptoms. However, there is also something known as a "silent heart attack," which does not have the dramatic signs of a normal heart attack. The signs of a silent heart attack are likely to be ignored by the person as normal fatigue or gastritis. Considering the strange health conditions we are living in today, it’s important for us to be aware of the problem we are dealing with. Never ignore even the smallest sign of a heart attack.

1. Fatigue, nausea, and cold sweats: If you wake up feeling nauseated, with a heavy heart, vomiting, and sweating, you should visit a doctor immediately. You should not keep ignoring fatigue. If you're feeling tired despite getting enough sleep and not working much, there's something wrong with your heart.

2. Chest pain and fullness or pressure in the heart: Any type of heart attack is accompanied by chest pain. It could be minor, like how you feel right after lifting a large object with your left hand, or it could be quite painful to bear. In any case, any sort of chest pain or that feeling as if someone is putting a lot of pressure on your heart, should not be dismissed. Simply go to the doctor, have your tests done, and take the prescribed medicine.

3. Dizziness and breathing difficulty: If you do not have bronchitis or another type of lung infection, having trouble in breathing can lead to a heart attack. You must constantly monitor your experiences to see if they are unusual. For example, if you have just climbed a few stairs and feel as if you have run a marathon, this could be a sign of an unhealthy heart. If this is followed by unexplainable dizziness in which everything around you becomes blurry, it’s time to rush to a doctor.

Whatever you do, wherever you are in life, and whatever issues you are experiencing... nothing counts if your health is compromised. All of your achievements and victories are meaningful only when you are there to experience them. Never let your heart bear the weight of your failures. Get regular checkups, and never think, "I can’t be the one." Stay healthy!
