8 Heart Attack Early WARNING Signs [ALERT]

Wouldn’t it be great if you could see into the future?

No, I’m not suggesting you scope out the next Mega Millions lottery numbers.

(Although, I’ll admit, if you DID get your hands on a time machine, it’s not a bad idea.)

But I have another option that could result in an even BIGGER payoff.

In fact, it may even help you dodge DEATH.

If you could travel through time, I’d suggest you find out what HEALTH THREATS you face.

That way, you can take steps NOW to avoid difficult or potentially deadly health issues in your FUTURE.

But let’s face it… while I love a good sci-fi flick as much as the next guy, it’s very unlikely any of us will have a time machine show up on our doorstep.

So that means we will have to rely on the next best thing instead. And when it comes to predicting heart attacks, that’s keeping your eyes open for the EARLY warning signs most folks miss.

Following are eight signs that your heart might be in TROUBLE:

  1. Pain. Having pain in your left arm isn’t always a cause for concern. But it could be a sign of heart trouble if there’s no other obvious reason. In other words, if you didn’t do anything that resulted in an injury, or if the pain appeared seemingly out of nowhere—treat it as a potential heart attack warning sign.
  2. A cough that won’t quit. A persistent unexplained cough… especially if it’s occasionally accompanied by a pink-tinged liquid… is a cause for concern. It’s a common symptom of heart failure and could signal a coming heart attack.
  3. Fatigue. We all feel tired from time to time. But if you feel more tired than usual, it may be due to decreased blood flow to the heart. In fact, fatigue may be the ONLY early sign of a heart attack for women. Regardless of the cause, chronic tiredness is a good reason to visit your doctor.
  4. Swollen legs and ankles. Your heart is responsible for pumping blood and other fluids around your body. But when it stops working efficiently, those fluids pool in your legs and ankles, causing swelling.
  5. Nausea and loss of appetite. Nausea is an often-overlooked symptom in people with heart problems. It typically leads to a loss of appetite. Plus, abdominal cramps that come in short spurts are common shortly before a heart attack.
  6. Extreme anxiety. People with anxiety are more prone to heart disease in general. The anxiety is often accompanied by high blood pressure. But a drastic spike in anxiety can be a red flag for a coming heart attack. In some cases, it’s the ONLY early symptom.
  7. Lightheadedness or fainting. When the heart isn’t pumping well, not get enough oxygen gets delivered to your brain. This can cause you to feel lightheaded or even faint while getting up from a seated or lying down position. It’s a sign of heart failure and can signal a future heart attack.
  8. Increased perspiration. Excessive sweating can be a sign of a heart attack. Flu-like symptoms, clammy skin, and sweating, regardless of temperature, are all early signs.

These red flags can surface up to a month before a heart attack strikes. So be sure to consult a healthcare provider if you have ANY concerning symptoms. When you do, you could end up PREVENTING a heart attack in the future.

If you think you may be having a heart attack, call 911 IMMEDIATLY.
