Heart disease remains the top cause of death in the U.S. “A lot of people die every year due to heart diseases in USA,” especially from heart attacks. These occur when blood can’t reach the heart due to a blockage, causing heart tissue to die.

Staying healthy with diet, Omega-3, and exercise helps, but recognizing early signs is key. “Excessive fatigue is one of the first signs of a heart attack.” Feeling tired despite good sleep and no activity is a red flag. “Sleep disturbances are another warning indicator,” often caused by increased thirst or frequent urination.

Watch for “uncomfortable pressure, squeezing, fullness, or pain in the center of your chest,” which may come in waves. Pain may also appear in the back, neck, arms, or jaw. Dizziness, shortness of breath, “nausea or indigestion,” and even cold sweats can all be signs. “The heart can begin to get irritable…which leads to the sensation of heart palpitations.”If you feel numbness, weakness, or anxiety—especially in the arms—seek help fast. “Heart attacks present a host of symptoms that can be easily mistaken for another ailment,” so listen to your body and consult a doctor immediately.
