A heart attack can manifest a month or weeks beforehand with symptoms such as unusual fatigue, shortness of breath, chest pain or discomfort that radiates to the shoulders, neck, jaw, and back, cold sweats, nausea, dizziness, or a feeling of indigestion or heartburn. These symptoms can vary and appear intermittently, so it is crucial to pay attention to any changes in your body and seek immediate medical attention if you experience them.
The 7 Symptoms That Should Not Be Ignored
1: Chest pain or discomfort:
This may feel like pressure, tightness, burning, or discomfort in the center of the chest, which may last more than a few minutes.
2: Radiating pain or discomfort:
The pain may spread to other parts of the body, such as the shoulders, arms (one or both), neck, jaw, back, or upper abdomen
3: Difficulty breathing:
This can occur before or along with chest discomfort, and may feel like shortness of breath without an obvious explanation.
4: Cold sweat:
A sudden, cold sweat can be a warning sign

Unexplained tiredness that is not related to physical exertion can be a symptom
6: Nausea and dizziness
Feeling dizzy, lightheaded, or having nausea and vomiting may indicate a heart problem
