Careful! These are the signs that warn of a heart attack

The feeling of tightness in the chest is a classic sign, but a heart attack can come without chest pain, especially in women.

Seek medical attention if you experience any of the following symptoms:

1 - Dizziness

Most heart attacks do not cause sudden loss of consciousness, but they can reduce or stop the flow of blood that carries oxygen to the heart and brain, which can cause you to experience uncertainty.

2 - Pain in the upper body

Our heart does not have many nerve endings, so it sometimes shares a path with the nerves of other parts of the body, causing pain that is felt in the back, shoulders, arms, neck or jaw.

3 - Unjustified fatigue

Feeling tired after a sleepless night or a stressful day is normal, but more than half of women feel tired or have physical weakness for more than a month before suffering a heart attack.

4 - Sweating

Unless you are going through menopause or have done physical activity, cold sweats can signal a heart attack.

5 - Mixed

A heart attack can cause nausea, a situation which occurs more often in women than in men (many of them also feel like they are getting the flu before a heart attack). If you have sudden and constant nausea that does not come from the food consumed, you should go to the doctor.

6 - Frequent breathing

If exercising a normal load seems unbearable to you, you should make a visit to the doctor. If you suddenly find it difficult to breathe as if you were climbing stairs and can not calm down, you should call the emergency room.
