Heart attack is one of the leading causes of human death in the world. A 16-year study of more than 280,000 patients published in Science Daily found that heart attacks are most common in winter, which may be caused by cold temperatures or changes in behavior.

Not only in the case of the elderly, but even the young can also have a sudden heart attack. That’s why everyone should be aware and reduce the risk of heart disease through lifestyle changes.

Just as there are certain rules for keeping the heart healthy, it is also important to recognize the symptoms of a heart attack. Often the early symptoms of a heart attack go unnoticed by patients.

The main and most common symptom of a heart attack is chest pain. This pain starts in the middle or left side of the chest. At this time, the chest may feel under heavy pressure or the chest is being twisted. The pain from the chest gradually spreads to the left arm, throat, or jaw. At the same time, there may be profuse sweating in winter. Can also cause dizziness. May be accompanied by nausea. May cause shortness of breath.

Heart attack symptoms may be different in women or those with diabetes. Although there is not much chest pain or discomfort in the chest, there are other symptoms. In this case, pain in the neck, jaw, or throat, mild to severe shortness of breath, nausea, indigestion, pain in the upper abdomen or back, unusual weakness, and chills after sweating.

Dizziness while walking on the road. Irregular heartbeat or chest palpitations may also occur. Do not avoid these symptoms if you suddenly feel them. Any of these can be signs of a heart attack.
