What are the warning signs of a heart attack?

Dizziness accompanied by cold sweats

Feeling dizzy or experiencing a sudden, unexplained cold sweat is never harmless. It can indicate poor blood circulation, particularly to the brain. If in doubt, it's best to consult a doctor.

A feeling like the flu… without fever or virus

Do you have aches and pains all over, a fever, or mild nausea? Some people who have had a heart attack report experiencing these flu-like symptoms in the days leading up to it. If this feeling develops without a real fever or identifiable cause, it's important to pay attention.

Pressure or discomfort in the chest area

It's not always a sharp pain. Sometimes it's a feeling of pressure, like a weight on the chest, that recurs or intensifies over several days. This type of discomfort is often linked to poor blood flow to the heart muscle. If it becomes frequent or bothersome, it's best to consult a healthcare professional.
