Speaking of heart attacks, there are a few commonplace symptoms, which people normally look out for when it comes to a heart attack, for instance, extreme weakness, chest pain and discomfort. What about silent heart attacks, where a person doesn’t feel these traditional symptoms or no symptoms at all, these are more dangerous than you think. Clinicians opine that a silent heart attack is one when a person is a symptomatic and the symptoms being faced are not normally associated with a heart attack.
Treating a silent heart attack can be a bit delicate as how can you treat something, which you don’t know is happening or has happened. A lot of people learn about their heart attacks much later, weeks, even months later after they go for a regular check-up.
Sometimes a prolapsed or leaky mitral valve can pose a serious threat to your heart muscles. Asymptomatic heart attacks are more common among people with diabetes and women.
Even if silent heart attacks show no symptoms, this doesn’t mean that irregularities in the body cannot be ruled. A few atypical symptoms of heart attack are discomfort in the center of the chest, along with a sensation of squeezing, fullness or tightness.
Unexplained tiredness can be a result of a silent heart attack, unexplained shortness of breath. Also, many people think they’re getting a heartburn when it’s actually a sign they’ve had a heart attack. Experts opine, if people experience sustained discomfort for a period of a few minutes, especially if the symptoms are fairly new and have no clear explanation, speak with your family doctor immediately and do not ignore these concerns.
