It is very important to\nkeep in mind (especially ladies), you may not feel any chest pain even when you\nare at risk of a heart attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong> A spreading pain to the arm <\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>A common sign of heart attack is a painful sensation\nthat usually starts from the left side of the body and radiates to the other\npart, especially the arms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>A feeling of lightheartedness\/ dizziness <\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This feeling of lightheadedness or dizziness can be\nattributed to the fact that your blood pressure begins to drop simply because\nyour heart is now unable to pump blood as a result of the plague blockages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Sore throat or painful jaws <\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>These signs on their own are not symptoms of heart\nproblems, but if you begin to feel these symptoms together, you are most likely\nto be suffering from a heart problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, it is advised that you go for a proper\nmedical check-up or seek the attention of certified medical personnel to avoid\na heart attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong> Fatigue <\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>When you experience a sudden feeling of fatigue or\nexhaustion after doing some of your usual activities like driving, hiking or\nwalking up the stairs, you should definitely visit your doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For women an unknown extreme feeling of fatigue or\nexhaustion over a period of timecan most definitely mean that they are\nsuffering from heart disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember, it must be a feeling of extreme exhaustion\nnot just the normal fatigue after your normal workout routine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Abnormal Snoring <\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Snoring is very normal, but an abnormally loud snore\nthat sounds as if you are gasping for air or choking may be a sign of sleep\napnea, which puts a lot of pressure and stress on your heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For anybody who experiences this, you are advised to\nconsult a medical practitioner and ask for a sleep\nstudyto be conducted on you to help determine your\ncondition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are suffering from this condition CPAP\nmachine will help smoothen your breathing as you sleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong> Persistent Coughing<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This usually isn\u2019t a sign related to heart trouble,\nbut persons who are aware that they are at risk of heart diseases should pay\nclose attention to the possibility that their persistent cough may be a sign of\nan impending heart attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your cough produces pink or white mucus, then you\nare most likely at risk of heart failure. This pink or white mucus is as a\nresult of your heart&#8217;s inability to meet your body&#8217;s demand, and this, in turn,\ncauses some level of blood to leak into the lungs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once this symptom is noticed, you should do nothing\nbut hurry to see your doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Swollen legs, ankles and feet<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Another major warning sign of a heart attack is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.webmd.com\/digestive-disorders\/features\/bloated-bloating\">bloating<\/a>of\nthe legs, feet or ankle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is generally caused by your heart&#8217;s inability\nto pump blood effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When this happens, kidneys will find it difficult to\nremove unneeded water and sodium from your body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong> Profuse sweating<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you start sweating basically for no reason, it\ncould be a really alarming sign of an impending Heart attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When this happens, be sure to consult a medical\npractitioner, and ensure not to drive yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong> Irregular heartbeat<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In almost every case, irregular heartbeats are\ncaused by too much intake of caffeine or lack of proper sleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, in rare cases, an irregular heartbeat may\nbe a sign of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.webmd.com\/heart-disease\/atrial-fibrillation\/\">atrial\nfibrillation<\/a>.
