A Month Before A Heart Attack, Your Body Will Warn You With These 8 Signals

It is already a known fact that heart disease and strokes cause the most death all over the world. This is proven by the American Heart and Stroke Association. People who die from a heart attack may be first time sufferers or those who have gotten recurrent heart attacks.

People suffer from heart attacks because of these reasons:

• Blockage of one of the arteries.
• Insufficient blood supply received by the heart.

More than half a million people suffer from heart attacks every day and a portion of it are not able to recover from the experience. Over the past years, the number of sufferers have steadily increased. This is probably due to the unhealthy lifestyle that people are following over the past years. According to research and reports, it is very likely that people have ignored key symptoms of their impending attack a month before they experience the attack.
It is best that you take a look at these various symptoms that may possibly be experienced a month before the actual attack.
Here are some of the signs that you should not ignore:
1. DIZZINESS
If you are about to suffer from an attack, it is likely that you are going to feel a bit dizzy because there is not enough blood flowing all over your body. It is possible that the dizzy spells can last a while and become uncomfortable.

2. PAIN
Even a month before the attack, there is a possibility that you are going to experience pain in some parts of your body. Do not ignore if you feel signs of chest pain, arm pain and even shoulder pain. If you start feeling some tightness in these areas, this is your body’s way of telling you that you may suffer from a heart attack soon.
3. SLEEP DISTURBANCES
