What are early signs and symptoms of heart attack?
According to published clinical research nearly 45% of patients irrespective of gender experienced symptoms like chest pain up to one year before the heart attack. The findings revealed that many individuals exhibited warning signs days, and sometimes even weeks, before the actual attack. On average, patients reported experiencing symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, and fatigue approximately 4 to 6 days before the onset of the heart attack.
More than 50% of patients had prodromal symptoms in the form of chest pain at least 48 hours before the event. These warning signals serve as crucial indicators, offering a window of opportunity for intervention and potentially life-saving actions. Moreover, the study emphasized the importance of recognizing atypical symptoms, particularly among women. Contrary to traditional perceptions, women may not always present with classic chest pain. Instead, they might experience symptoms such as nausea, indigestion, or back pain in the days leading up to a heart attack.
