Heart attacks are a leading cause of death, often triggered by stress and poor diets. Recognizing early signs of heart failure can help prevent a heart attack. Symptoms to watch for a month before an attack include:
- Swollen Feet: Blood pooling in legs and feet due to heart inefficiency.
- Fatigue: Reduced blood flow forces the heart to work harder, causing tiredness.
- Shortness of Breath: Lack of oxygen from reduced blood flow to the heart and lungs.
- Weakness: Poor circulation can lead to muscle weakness and falls.
- Dizziness and Cold Sweats: Restricted blood flow to the brain can cause these symptoms.
- Chest Pressure: A sign of an impending heart attack, worsening over time.
- Flu-like Symptoms: Can be mistaken for a cold but may indicate heart trouble.
If you experience these symptoms, seek medical attention immediately to prevent a heart attack.
