Prevention is always the best cure. This rule is especially true when dealing with a heart attack, one of the most serious and lethal diseases, whose symptoms are often very difficult to recognize and identify. Below are some signs your body sends you about a month before a heart attack. It’s a good idea to keep them in mind.
1. You are constantly tired
Unusual fatigue is one of the main symptoms indicating an impending heart attack. Women are more likely to report this type of symptom than men. Physical and mental activity aren’t the cause of fatigue, which increases at the end of the day. This symptom is quite obvious and won’t go unnoticed: sometimes, even simple tasks, like washing dishes or taking a shower, can be exhausting.
2. You experience severe abdominal pain
Abdominal pain, nausea, a feeling of bloating, or stomachache are some of the most common symptoms. They are equally likely to occur in women and men. Abdominal pain before a heart attack is episodic in nature, relieving itself and then recurring for short periods of time. Physical tension may also aggravate stomach pain.
