World Heart Day 2020: Don’t ignore these 10 warning signs of an unhealthy heart - The Indian Express

You can experience tightness, pain or pressure on the chest when you have a blocked artery or while having a heart attack.

In certain cases, especially with women, a heart attack may occur without chest pain?

Some people may experience nausea, indigestion, heartburn or stomach pain during a heart attack.

Similarly, stomach problems can also happen due to other reasons, but you must be aware that it can signal a heart attack as well.

Another common warning sign of heart disease is a pain that spreads downwards on the left side of the body.

Arm pain can also be a symptom of a heart condition.

If, however, you experience pain or discomfort in the chest that spreads up to your jaw or throat, it can signal a heart attack.

Exhaustion is another warning sign of a heart problem.

Extreme exhaustion or unexplained weakness, sometimes for days at a time, can be a symptom of heart disease, especially for women.

Skipping a beat or two for a prolonged period, or frequently, can signal a condition called ‘atrial fibrillation’ (an irregular, often rapid heart rate that commonly causes poor blood flow) that can lead to blood clots, stroke, heart failure and other heart-related complications
