Swelling in the feet or ankles may signal that \u201cone or both of your heart\u2019s lower chambers lose their ability to pump blood effectively.\u201d This leads to blood backing up in your lower limbs. Fatigue is another key warning. Narrowed arteries reduce blood flow, making your heart work harder, leaving you \u201cfeeling overly tired and drowsy just about all of the time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Shortness of breath may occur when \u201cyour lungs are not going to be able to get as much oxygen.\u201d If you notice breathing trouble without physical exertion, see a doctor. Weakness and dizziness also arise from poor blood flow. \u201cYour muscles aren\u2019t getting what they need,\u201d and reduced brain circulation can cause \u201cdizziness and clamminess.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chest pressure is a classic sign of a heart attack. \u201cYou have been experiencing discomfort in your chest, whether it\u2019s minor pain or built-up pressure.\u201d This pressure often increases as the attack approaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unexpected cold or flu symptoms can precede a heart attack. \u201cMany people feel they have developed a cold just days before their attacks.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
