Dr. Oz provides 5 warning signs of a heart attack that everyone should be familiar with. Heart attack is a leading cause of death in the United States. Knowing the common signs and symptoms could save your life.
Neck Pain. Although neck pain occurs often in people with desk jobs, Dr. Oz warns that it is a known warning sign of a heart attack. If you suddenly experience neck pain seemingly without cause, seek medical assistance to rule out the onset of a heart attack.
Unusual fatigue. Americans are working multiple jobs to make ends meet, so it is normal to become exhausted. However, if you are constantly feeling fatigue and you are not overworking, your fatigue is cause for concern. Dr. Oz's advice is to get a checkup. Suffering a heart attack is a real possibility.
Nausea and Indigestion. According to Dr. Oz, nausea and indigestion are a sign that something is amiss in your body. Prior to suffering a heart attack, people often experience both nausea and indigestion. Again, these warning signs are cause for concern.
Shortness of Breath.Unless you have just run a marathon or participated in other strenous exercises, you should not be short of breath. If you are having difficulty breathing seek immediate medical assistance. Dr. Oz states that shortness of breath is one heart attack warning sign that should not be ignored.
Dizziness and Lightheadedness. Dizziness and lightheadedness occur when blood pressure drops too low. Sitting and elevating the feet sometimes helps. However, if you feel dizzy or lightheaded even while sitting Dr. Oz recommends seeing a doctor because these common warning signs of a heart attack are often overlooked.
