The risk of heart disease is increasing rapidly due to deteriorating lifestyle and diet. Especially after Corona, the cases of heart attack are increasing significantly. Earlier, cases of heart attack or related diseases used to occur after 50 years, but now the cases of heart attack are also seen among the youth. Due to not understanding the symptoms of heart attack properly, the situation becomes fatal. Chest pain, nervousness and excessive sweating are signs of a heart attack. Everyone sweats in summer, but rapid sweating and feeling uncomfortable can be symptoms of a heart attack. Let us know from the doctor how and why our body starts sweating before a heart attack.

Causes of heart attack:

  1. There can be many different reasons for a heart attack, such as stress and a bad lifestyle.
  2. Drinking too much or becoming addicted to drugs. This affects the heart and brain.
  3. Due to high cholesterol, blockage in the arteries increases, which increases the risk of heart attack.
  4. Heart health is also affected by diabetes or kidney disease.
  5. Increasing pollution is also a reason for heart attacks. Breathing poisonous air affects the lungs and heart.
  6. Increasing obesity can also cause heart attacks. People who are overweight are at risk.

Other symptoms of heart attack:

  • Chest pain and anxiety
  • Severe burning sensation in the chest
  • Sweating rapidly
  • Fatigue and dizziness
  • Having trouble breathing
  • Fast or slow heartbeat
  • Pain in the arm or shoulder
  • Jaw or toothache
  • Complaint of headache

Heavy sweating comes before a heart attack

According to Dr Bhumesh Tyagi, Professor of the Internal Medicine Department of Sharda Hospital, when the coronary blood vessels face difficulty in supplying blood properly to the heart, then one starts sweating rapidly. Due to accumulation of cholesterol in the coronary arteries, blockage occurs and the blood supply to the heart reduces. In such a situation, our heart has to work very hard to pump blood. Due to this, there is pressure on the heart. In this condition, the body tries to normalise the temperature and sweats rapidly. If you sweat profusely without any reason, it could be a sign of a heart attack.
