Warning signs for heart disease
Heart disease is the leading cause of death across the globe . Data from the World Health Organization indicates that cardiovascular diseases , which are a group of disorders of the heart and blood vessels , claim roughly 18 millions lives each year . More than 80 percent of those deaths are due to heart attacks and strokes that oftentimes can be prevented .
The right lifestyle choices , which include eating a healthy diet and exercising regularly , can help people reduce their risk for cardiovascular disease . Learning to recognize warning signs of heart disease is another way individuals can reduce their risk of developing this global but often preventable threat .
• Chest pain : Chest pain is widely recognized as a sign of heart attack .
However , many people experience chest pain without ever suffering a heart attack . So how can individuals distinguish chest pain suggestive of heart disease from less threatening types of pain in their chest , such as stiffness after strength training or discomfort stemming from a pulled pectoral muscle ? According to the British Heart Foundation , chest pain related to heart attack is marked by feelings of heaviness , tightness or pressure in the chest . Pain or tightness in the chest that subsides after a few minutes may be indicative of angina , which the Mayo Clinic notes is a symptom of coronary artery disease caused by a reduction of blood flow to the heart .
• Stomach pain : People may not instantly associate stomach pain with
heart disease , but in certain instances such discomfort might indicate a heart problem . The BHF notes that a painful or burning feeling in the stomach can be indicative of a heart problem , including heart attack . Though it ’ s not easy to distinguish between heartburn , which in spite of its name is a digestive issue , and stomach pain indicative of heart attack , it ’ s best to avoid writing off abdominal pain as heartburn . The Mayo Clinic notes that many heart attacks do not involve sudden , crushing chest pain , and are instead characterized by a host of warning signs , including abdominal pain . The BHF advises anyone experiencing stomach pain who are unsure of its origins to contact a health care professional immediately .
• Arm pain : Pain in the arm is another potential indicator of heart disease .
