What are some pre symptoms of Heart Attack?

From the above topic I want to know what are some pre symptoms of Heart attack

  1. Hi, Again, @Anjali. I see you posted another inquiry in a different thread that I also responded too. This is yet again another great question. For this one I think I will refer you to an article that is posted on our website. Here is the link to that article (https://heart-failure.net/living/warning-signs). I am sure you will find this article helpful. If after reading it you have more questions, feel free to ask them here. And either myself or one of the other moderators here will attempt an answer for you .John heart-failure.net community moderator

    1. Heart attack symptoms can vary from person to person, and some people may not experience any symptoms at all. However, there are some common pre-symptoms that may occur before a heart attack. These include:

      Chest discomfort: This can manifest as pressure, squeezing, fullness, or pain in the chest that lasts for a few minutes or comes and goes.

      Shortness of breath: Difficulty breathing or feeling like you can't catch your breath can be a sign of a heart attack.

      Fatigue: Feeling unusually tired or exhausted even after getting enough rest is a common pre-symptom.

      Nausea or vomiting: Some people may experience nausea or vomiting as a pre-symptom of a heart attack.

      Upper body pain: Pain or discomfort in the arms, shoulders, neck, jaw, or back can be a sign of a heart attack.

      Sweating: Unusual sweating or a cold sweat that is not due to exercise or heat can be a sign of a heart attack.

      It's important to note that not everyone experiences these pre-symptoms before a heart attack, and some people may have a heart attack without any warning signs. If you experience any of these pre-symptoms, especially if they are severe or persistent, seek medical attention immediately.


      1. That's a great question. Some people in the community have written articles on the subject you've asked about. Here they are:
