Early Warning Signs of Heart Attack: Crucial Insights for Healthcare Providers

Recent evidence emphasizes that heart attacks may be preceded by subtle warning signs emerging up to a month before the acute event. Early detection and proactive intervention can be life-saving, especially given the often-misinterpreted nature of these symptoms

Early Symptoms to Recognize

Persistent fatigue and unexplained tiredness
Shortness of breath with mild exertion
Heaviness, discomfort, or pressure in the chest
Disturbed sleep patterns
Dizziness or light-headedness
Unusual anxiety
Cold sweats
Irregular heartbeat
Discomfort or pain radiating to the jaw, back, or left shoulder

Gender-Specific Patterns

Women are more likely to present with atypical signs such as nausea, dizziness, upper back or jaw pain, and may not report classic chest pain.
Such symptoms are frequently misattributed to gastrointestinal or psychological causes, raising the risk of delayed intervention.
