4 Heart Attack Warning Signs You Should Never Ignore

There are 4 terrifying things that can happen right before you have a heart attack.

A heart attack strikes someone about every 43 seconds. It occurs when the blood flow that brings oxygen to the heart muscle is severely reduced or cut off completely. This happens because the arteries that supply the heart with blood can slowly narrow from a buildup of fat, cholesterol and other substances (plaque). 

Many men and women think the signs of a heart attack are unmistakable — the image of the elephant comes to mind — but in fact they can be subtler and sometimes confusing.

You could feel so short of breath, “as though you ran a marathon, but you haven't made a move”.

Some men and women experiencing a heart attack describe upper back pressure that feels like squeezing or a rope being tied around them. Dizziness, lightheadedness or actually fainting are other symptoms to look for.

So what causes 70% of heart attacks and how can you fix it? And what are the other symptoms you need to watch out for?

Sit back, grab a cup of tea and watch this video, it could very well end up saving your life (or the life of a loved one).
