A heart attack or cardiac arrest is the discomfort that occurs when a clot blocks the arteries, preventing blood from flowing to the heart. When this blockage occurs, the heart does not receive enough oxygen and the heart cells die.

A myocardial infarction or heart attack generally manifests itself as severe chest pain, difficulty breathing or even nausea. The cause: an artery in the heart suddenly becomes blocked. With poor blood supply, the part of the heart muscle (myocardium) concerned stops working.

Breathing problems

If you feel tired and have difficulty breathing, you need to be very careful. This could be a symptom of cardiac arrest. This can happen months before you suffer a heart attack. Consult your doctor as soon as possible.

Excessive sweating

Excessive sweating is another symptom of impending cardiac arrest. If you find that you are sweating very often and profusely, even though you are not exercising, this could be a sign that your heart is suffering from some kind of problem.

 

Nausea and vomitingIt is very difficult to identify whether vomiting or nausea may be a symptom of a coronary problem.Heart attacks are often preceded by digestive problems, including nausea and vomiting. But be very careful because you could be suffering from a more serious problem.

Chest pain

Chest pain, if caused by a heart attack, usually lasts about 15 minutes. It is characterised by intense pressure on the chest, which may spread to the arms and shoulders. This pain usually occurs on the left side of the body and may appear several days before the attack.

Back and jaw pain

Back and jaw pain can also occur when a heart attack is imminent.These symptoms tend to occur more often in women than in men, so if you suddenly notice these discomforts, consult a doctor.DizzinessDizziness can be accompanied by vertigo, which can increase steadily.The person affected then loses their balance and finds themselves in a state of great confusion. Remain calm and do not make any sudden movements if you find yourself in this situation.

Preventing heart attacks

Healthy habits that help prevent a heart attack include eating a healthy diet, not smoking, exercising and avoiding a sedentary lifestyle as much as possible.Consult your cardiologist.
