Heart attack is the number one on the list of causes of death, which is not surprising because of the stressful lifestyle. Physical activity, diet rich in vitamins and fiber, as well as reduced levels of stress can affect the better heart health and a lower rate of developing a heart attack.

But there are also symptoms of heart failure, which begin to appear about a month before the heart "stops".

Breathing difficulties

If the lungs cannot get enough oxygen, the heart will not receive the required amount of blood. This means that the two systems are connected. If you have breathing difficulties visit a doctor as soon as possible because it could mean that the heart attack may soon occur.

Symptoms of common cold and flu

These symptoms have occurred in some people who have had a heart attack. This is why you need to contact your doctor if you suspect a heart attack.

Pressure in the chest

Sometimes people ignore this sign, because they consider it normal. The pressure in the chest is clear and obvious sign that a heart attack may occur in the near future.

The next time you feel chest pressure, visit your doctor.

Weakness

The weakness may be a sign that points out towards a potential heart attack. When your arteries narrow, they do not allow blood to circulate properly, which means that the muscles are not getting what they need, and that can cause them to become weaker.

Cold sweat, dizziness

Poor circulation affects the blood flow in the brain, which allows the brain to work properly.

Fatigue

If you feel fatigue and sleepiness, even after you have been sleeping or resting for a long time, and if it goes on for days, then it could mean that you have reduced blood flow to the heart.

The best way to prevent a heart attack is to identify any of these symptoms and start the treatment immediately, in order to keep your heart healthy.
