Heart attacks often seem sudden, but in many cases, the body gives warning signs weeks in advance. Recognizing these early symptoms can save lives.
1. Unusual Fatigue
Feeling excessively tired without a clear reason can be an early warning. The heart may be struggling to pump efficiently, leaving your body fatigued even after normal activities.
2. Shortness of Breath
Experiencing breathlessness while performing routine tasks or even at rest may indicate reduced blood flow to the heart.
3. Chest Discomfort
Mild chest pain, pressure, or tightness that comes and goes—even if brief—can precede a heart attack. It’s often mistaken for indigestion or heartburn.
4. Irregular Heartbeat
