Body Warns 1 Month Before Heart Attack- 7 Warning Signs YOU MUST KNOW

[@lltimbs]

I had pain in chest that radiated to my back. I couldn't sit down, or walk or lay down because the pain got so bad. I was a smoker back then 2006 and I said, " Lord, I don't want to go out like this, and if you take this pain away, I promise I'll never smoke again." Well, immediately the pain went away, and I feel asleep. When I woke.up I said I made a promise to God so I'd better keep it..so I did!

My husband died in 2017 Thanksgiving week. He complained o shortness of breath and being tired a lot. But never complained about anything else. He was a avid runner and a vegetarian. I never thought anything like that would ever had happened. Everyone was shocked about him dying. He worked all day and when he was almost home when he had his heart attack. The only thing I noticed about him before the heart attack is that he looked tired and his eyes looked so bloodshot. Never seen anything like it before. I miss him so much everyday.

@Betty Johnson: I worked in ER for years and whenever someone says “chest pain, “ they DO NOT make you wait.

[@gypsyspirit2510]

Sad thing is, so many people believe that saying "chest pain" means they'll have a room waiting when they get to the ER. So an ingrown toenail often becomes "chest pain" and an ambulance ride. But if the assessment in the ambulance and then the initial intake assessment in the ER says probably an ingrown toenail and NOT "chest pain", then no. You don't get to go straight to a room. You get to wait. People abuse the system. That clogs the system. And people with real "chest pain" get lost in the shuffle.

Totally agree. Mom, 97, just had one a mild one and some blood clots were found, as well. We thought it was indigestion or heartburn. Spent 4 days in hospital, she's back home and is on bloodthinners but still feels tired. Some of the meds doctors prescribed were causing her too many side effects... anxiey, dizziness, and nausea. I talked to her primary care physician to lower dosage and give us some alternatives. I'm praying she recovers.

They will not apologize ever. I was put on radatidine and took the half used bottle to the dr. and asked what should I do with these? They are recalled as causing cancer. She said just throw them out. No apology, although I did expect one. At least a bit of concern would have been nice.

I had severe (like a truck ran over them) pain in both arms. I had an appt with my family doc the next day so I waited. I showed up in her office sweating profusely with the worst heartburn (acid reflux) pain I ever had. My blood pressure was NORMAL...so...because I have arthritis and a few other autoimmune conditions, she talked to me like I was one of her pediatric patients in a sing song voice "Now Linn, you don't have any redness or swelling in your arms from an arthritis flare that I can see...you seem fine...mmkay?" Went home and my husband forced me to go to ER around 5 am. I was in surgery within 30 minutes. Two stents. The cath nurses called her and told her off. Let me tell you this: Doctors patronize and talk down to women and it gets worse with age. Studies show this trend, over and over. After I got out of the hospital, the apology voicemails started. I finally called her back and she STILL gave me pushback, defending her idiocy. "But your blood pressure was normal!" I told her: Keep ignoring your patients' clinical presentation and you're going to be responsible for someone's death."

[@shannonhawkins3296]

Normal blood pressure doesn’t mean you aren’t having a heart attack (as you well know!). They must check your cardiac enzymes through blood work, and do EKG’s. Anyone that even thinks they are having cardiac issues must take an aspirin and get to the Emergency Room! Call an ambulance so you can get on a monitor and be given oxygen. They will keep you on bed rest and give you oxygen in the hospital (if they deem it is indeed cardiac) to allow your heart to be rest as much as possible, and will do tests and surgery if you need it. Above all else… TREAT YOUR STRESS! Stress CAN bring on a heart attack.

Then after one of those spells I went to the ER and they to sent me home saying they had sick people to take care of. Finally after ten days my doctor came back and when I went in and told him how I felt, I was having a heart attack. He did an EKG and discovered it. If something doesn’t feel wright and persistently so…keep seeking help. No one knows how you feel except YOU and you will know when things aren’t as they should be..Be persistent it could save your life.

My dad lived an ultra healthy lifestyle, and still succumbed to a heart attack at 57 years old. Part of the problem was that he was not really ever sick, so he didn’t see a need to see doctors. Preventative health should include Check ups too. Not just healthy eating, and exercise.

[@Investigativebean]

Natural Man thanks, He just didn’t consume alcohol, any processed foods, and he avoided excess carbs. Basically the opposite of the standard American diet. He also exercised regularly. Just a week before his death he was being honored at work for having perfect attendance for 30 years. The man never took a sick day. It’s all very ironic.

[@Investigativebean]

You can’t run away from genetics. His family has a history of heart disease. You can take steps to prevent the onset, but you can’t prevent something like that if it is encoded in your DNA. If he had kept up on preventative health visits, it’s possible they could have caught early signs of a problem. Less than subtle clues that were visible in his postmortem.

Hello Bob and Brad, I am glad to greet you this morning! Two weeks ago I was taken by a wonderful team of EMS with atrial fibrillation. I felt nothing, except a “weird” sensation around my neck, under my tongue, into throat. At hospital it took four meds, six hours, for heart to return to sinus rhythm. I then had heart cath and four blockages discovered, soon in surgery. The leg where vein was harvested Is awfully bruised and painful. But the chest pain now, up and down the incision takes my breath away. Everyone is telling me to breathe. Black and blue all over from everything. BUT, I am still here, given new life, new breath, new opportunities to live and enjoy family and my future! I thank God for the extraordinary cardiology team at Celebration Health, Florida. Two weeks post op, it’s hard but easier every day to walk a bit, sit a while. Laying on back is painful still and sleep is elusive. Praying for full recovery.

From my experience there was a subtle but important difference in heartburn from acid reflux and the feeling of ‘heartburn’ during a heart attack - the new pain was more specifically localized, more intense and further back towards the spine than ordinary heartburn. Then I started to sweat like crazy, then numbness and tingling in both arms and hands - then the pain started 😵‍💫 Emergency open heart bypass surgery isn’t any fun … then a year of recovery and learning to live with 28% heart failure changes your perspective on life and makes you realize that most of the stress we worry about isn’t worth your time of day.

Then I knew I had another blockage a year later and thankfully they cleared it before I had another heart attack. Then 2 years after that I knew a week before my open heart surgery for a double bypass that something was wrong and again, avoided another heart attack. I didn’t have chest pain with my heart attack. I felt it in the back of my head. It felt like someone hit me with an aluminum baseball bat and then I started having weird feelings in my left jaw. I turned red and started vomiting and my blood pressure was 210/120. My norm is 90/60. I was 47 years old, 113 pounds, ran 2 miles every day, only drank water and ate healthy.

I'm a 68 year old female and had an emergency bypass operation (CABG X5) just two months ago. My only symptom was a small pain in the center left of my chest, like a muscle pain. It would come and go for about 2 weeks. I kept telling my friends about it, until one of them drove me to the ER to get checked. While there, I had increased pressure in my chest, and blood tests showed an elevated troponin level (troponin is an enzymatic protein. The troponin blood test for heart attack is highly sensitive and is considered the gold standard for determining damage to cardiac muscle.) Pay attention to any chest pain. It could save your life. Luckily, I had people who insisted that I get it checked out and they probably saved my life.

The best heads up on a imminent heart attack is the calcium score scan (CT scan)which highlights exactly where in the aorta or arterial system calcium build up .This is a real life saver scan because if you have a high score you can stop the build or reverse the damage by lifestyle changes.Calcium build in the arterial system is a sort of band aid to seal or heal inflammation caused by high carbohydrate intake like sucrose all wheat products seed oils fructose junk food alcohol etc.This test should be freely available to all citizens but then there’s a lot more dosh in disease management than prevention and big pharma wouldn’t want the masses actually healing themselves would they it’s not good for buisness 🙏🏼👍👍

I was 46 when I started having BACK pain early on a Sunday morning. It lasted about 5 minutes and would go away. Then I would fall back asleep only to be woken up again 2-3 hours later. Everytime this happened it was about 45 minutes to an hour earlier each time until it was happening every 10 minutes. My cousin was staying with me at the time and called 911. Meanwhile I was chewing baby aspirin. The EMT's said my BP was 235/190. Not good. But likely the aspirin saved my life. They got me to the ER in 15 minutes from 23 miles away. They were flyin'. The ER doc ran some tests and came back in about 25 minutes and said, we are not sure how many heart attacks you have had, but its at least 3 and we have booked the OR for Wednesday. That got postponed 2 days. Afterwards the next day the surgeon talked to me and said they had planned a triple bypass, but on the table it was changed to a 6 way CABG. 3 arteries were 90% blocked and 1 was completely blocked in 2 places. After a week I was sent home the following Friday. By Sunday I was so sick I couldn't stand and went back to the ER via the same ambulance. I was septic and all the work from the first bypass was completely destroyed. After the 2nd bypass, he left my chest open an inch and a half. My brother said he could see my heart beating in my chest. I told him that was a good thing. When I asked the doc how long it would be before I could go home, he said as soon as your chest closes up on its own. Because only then they would know the infection was gone. They also had a wound vac on my leg and one on my chest changed out daily. I went home 5 months later. I had to learn how to bathe and walk all over again and had a home care nurse and rehab for the next 8 months. Now it was February of 2017 and my brother had passed on the first. After I got back home I was doing pretty good. That was until a valve collapsed in October 2018 walking into the VA for a Dr. appointment. I had a heart attack in the parking lot and ended up CRAWLING inside. They put in a stent that weekend. I felt great until July of 2020 when I decided to by myself a late birthday present at the Harley dealership. I had never been on a bike in my life. So I signed up for their coarse. However, 3 hours into the first day I was doing horrible. I was sweating so bad it looked like I had been thrown in a pool. With Covid, they didn't get me in until MARCH of this year. After X rays and an MRI, they scheduled an OR for angioplasty.They discovered a collapsed vein cutting off 20% of the blood flow in my heart. I had had yet another heart attack. I am doing much better now. 2 bypasses, sepsis, 2 stents and at least 5 heart attacks later. I turned 51 in May and have still not been able to ride the bike. So, my friend. Take care of yourself. But don't dwell on shit. Take life as it comes and live each day to the fullest. Even if that means you have to stare at your new bike a year and a half before you can ride it.

*you left out back pain!* before i had my heart attack, *i knew that for women it could be back pain, and that's exactly what i had when i was having a heart attack.* it started with nausea that didn't go away in an hour or two, followed by pain that started in my back and eventually spanned across my back for the next few hours, from approximately my shoulder blade across to the other shoulder blade. there was no left arm pain, no jaw pain, no pressure on my chest, no change in blood pressure that i could tell, just on-going nausea and increasing back pain. in fact, it apparently started 3 days before, after i ate lunch ... i stopped to have a cig after i ate, before going into a store, and i felt very overheated, weak and woozy. i went home and took a nap, and 4 hours later when i woke up, the symptoms had subsided. 3 days later, the full blown heart attack i described above. i ended up having a triple bypass out of the deal.

During a routine EKG, my doctor say's "Oh when did you have your heart attack?" I told her it was news to me. There was a cardiologist in the building and she sent me straight to him. AFter checking my arteries in the hospital a couple days later, verified one of my arteries is completely blocked, but the others are wide open. I don't remember any chest pains or any of these symptoms prior other than shortness of breath, but I was 300lbs, so shortness of breath didn't seem out of the ordinary to me. No stint, dr said damage was already done. Later needed a pacemaker too as my heart rate was going crazy for no reason. Have since lost 120lbs and feel great. Walk a couple of miles every day. Can't run, but I can walk and I do it every day. Pacemaker gives me peace of mind.

Sucks that calling an ambulance or going in when feeling symptoms that could be nothing could put you in a huge financial strain so people gotta risk financial ruin or death without a clear choice given that it could be something less severe

I was driving around one Saturday when I had severe chest pain, light headed, and felt like I was going to vomit. I was 1-1/2 miles from the best ER in the area, so I drove there as fast as I could with my flashers on. Got to the traffic light at the entrance to the hospital and it just turned red. I needed to go straight across into the parking lot. It is a 4 lane divided highway, but luckily there was a police car in the left turn lane. I rolled down my window and told him I was having a heart attack and I need to run the red light. He said you better not. I told him that I was going with or without his help and to make a choice. He put on the red lights and blocked traffic. My BP was 290/245 and the put me in for observation they said the EKG didn't indicate any heart problem. Had my widow maker heart attack the next morning at 9 AM. Guess they were wrong. Having it at the hospital saved my life.. It also cost me $25K for doctors and $75K for 4 days in the hospital. 3 weeks prior, Obama Care turned me down as I didn't make enough money to get it. Medicaid turned me down because I had over $500 in the bank. And private insurance turned me down because my Cholesterol was 210. I files for hardship and got it down to $18K and $21K as what the insurance would pay if I had it. The hospital wanted it all paid at once. I said I can pay $350 a month. They wanted more. I said $350 or nothing and we can go to court as you'll get nothing. They said OK. 5 years later I paid it off.

The strange thing is that a week or so before the heart attack I had been to my family doctor on an unrelated matter, had my blood pressure taken and told I was as fit as a bull. I had a 90+% blockage in an artery as well as three smaller blockages.

A great video and I'm sure it will help save many. I was hospitalized with a resulting $43k in insurance bills after presenting with *all* of the 'women's heart attack symptoms' two years ago after a sudden death in the family. It turned out the diagnosis was an extreme, prolonged anxiety attack. Heart disease is prominent in my family history too so it was a worry. But I'm glad I knew enough to pay attention and got help. Had it been a real heart attack, I may not have lived. And thankfully after that episode when my father and father-in-law died within days of each other recently and I began experiencing the same symptoms I recognized the signs and remembered the counselling received from my doctors. Their suggestions helped me manage my body's stress responses and get through it safely.

[@ottograff3986]

I woke up having a hard time breathing. Called 911. To make the story short. I had the window maker. They gave me 5 way bypass and told me how lucky I was. My one big symptom was I could not walk from the front of the Home Depot to the back without taking a rest. If you are finding it hard to walk as far as usual go get it checked out.

[@maryloufarnsworth8461]

Love your channel. I recommended it to my senior's group( I'm 71). Women have different symptoms. I had a heart attack in 2016 and I never had chest pains or pressure. I had pain in my upper back between my shoulder blades. Fortunately, I still went to the doctor. It wasn't until the doctor did an EKG ( i think that is the right one) That she determined it was a full blown MI. My advice to women - If something doesn't feel right and you are in pain that doesn't ease up, Get it check out. Please!!

[@asmamidhat9142]

I wish I came across this earlier, my mom had these symptoms and is in hospital right now. Please pray for her if you can, appreciate your prayers, thanks.

I had a "minor" heart attack, back when I was 42. That is a very young age for this to happen. It is of the utmost importance, to Not overlook stress form work/career, this was the thing that pushed me oIt doesn't need to be what is considered a stressful job. Get checked out once you get to about 35, the monitor it, make changes, and commit toimproveing your life a minimum of 5% year over year.

[@MrShuntking]

No Dr. here but as a person who has suffered a massive heart attack I can speak from personal experience. Dizzy/light headed often...not just when you suddenly jump up off the couch or out of bed. But say just standing there making a cup of coffee, then again 5-10 minutes later again for no real reason. Now it could just be an ear infection but it could also be a lack of blood flow to the brain. Extreme Nausea/Vomiting. (This was one of my signs that I wasn't aware of) I thought I just had a case of food poisoning. Unlike me to throw up. After about 5-6 hours of vomiting I finally drove myself to the hospital. Within 2 minutes of arriving I was in an ambulance on my way to another hospital that specializes in Cardio and in surgery 20 minutes after getting to the first hospital. Had I known this was a sign I could of saved myself a lot of heart damage. Now I am currently at 38% heart function. This is sign no one seems to ever tell people about. People know about the tightness through the chest, left arm going numb etc. But not of vomiting. I should say, it's not a normal upset stomach just emptying out thing. There is a blackish bile color to it. Which I again didn't notice because I was in a dark room just feeling sick and using a bucket when needed.

[@angelamulder9546]

Most of our ideas about heart disease in women used to come from studying it in men. But there are many reasons to think that it's different in women. A woman's symptoms are often different from a man's, and she's much more likely than a man to die within a year of having a heart attack. Women also don't seem to fare as well as men do after taking clot-busting drugs or undergoing certain heart-related medical procedures. Research is only now beginning to uncover the biological, medical, and social bases of these and other differences. The hope is that new knowledge will lead to advances in tailoring prevention and treatment to women.

[@mollysmith6055]

I've seen many comments on this video regarding the discrepancies in the research about women's heart attack symptoms and mens. I've made one of my own, in fact. Hopefully Bob and Brad (and staff) will notice and create a new video geared to women's heart attack symptoms. Sure, it isn't a physical therapy topic normally but this original video wasn't either.

[@rmmlaurel]

I had heart attack signs, I had pains in my back shoulder blades and then it moved to my shoulder, then neck then middle of the chest along with headaches or pressure. I asked my doctor to check me out. They did a stress test and come to find out it was my blood pressure. It would be fine during the day. Always fine at the doctors visits at her office but after dinner in would shoot into a sky high and almost stroking me. How I figured it out MYSELF, was to borrow a BP monitor. So it might not be your heart but the pressure. Always keep pushing them to check .

[@ginnyjollykidd]

One time I woke up from sleep with chest pains. And I thought, "Can you actually have a heart attack when you are asleep in your own bed??" I called 911 and the hospital looked me over head to toe, MRI with dye, blood samples, EKG, etc. and TEE. (Trans - Esophageal Echocardiogram) They found nothing but asked me about my mental health medicines. Turns out they were giving me anxiety and I didn't know it. And I got my medicines adjusted. Better safe than sorry. And it scared the daylights out of me! The findings showed I had a very healthy heart (Thank God!), and the teeny tiny hole everybody has in their heart from one side of their heart to the other side? They said the TEE showed mine was smaller than most! You can't beat that for good news! And it completely ruled out the heart's involvement! I love modern medicine!

It's happened to me 3 times (years apart) that during an effort (ski/ shoveling) my heart started pumping super fast, along with dizziness, cold sweats and nauseas. I had to lay down and those symptoms passed in less than an hour. Only told my doctor months later, during an annual checkup (because i was aware that these symptoms can be heart related.) She never felt the need to investigate my heart because i have no risk factors: not overweight, non smoker, low blood pressure, no cholesterol, female, under 50, etc. She suggested panick attacks, but i'm not suffering from panic attacks (and why would i while doing fun activities!??) Also not suffering from hypochondria. The major problem i see in preventing a heart attack is that one needs to be in a doctor's office when it happens... I started chest pain and EXTREME fatigue a year ago, but that is apparently due to chronic gastritis and home renovations... I guess i'd be dead by now if i had a heart problem... Bit worried still.
