It is said that caution is better than cure, if it comes to heart diseases then we should be more careful because every year millions of people around the world die due to heart attack.
A heart attack, also known as a myocardial infarction, occurs when the heart’s arteries are unable to supply the heart muscle with the blood, oxygen, and nutrients it needs.
A heart attack does not happen suddenly, but there are several warning signs that we can see before a heart attack, especially in people above 60 years of age, because of these warning signs, timely precautions can be taken.
All we need to do is pay attention to our body and not ignore minor pains. If the following symptoms are observed, immediate precautions should be taken.

Abnormal physical fatigue is a warning sign of a heart attack, a symptom that appears several weeks in advance in about 70 percent of both men and women with heart disease.
If the fatigue you feel is not caused by any physical or mental activity and this fatigue increases towards the end of the day, it is a clear sign of heart disease and you need to pay attention to it immediately.
Difficulty breathing
If you ever find it difficult to perform an activity you’re normally good at and experience shortness of breath, this could be a warning sign of a heart attack.
You may also find it difficult to perform normal activities such as running or climbing stairs, and you may feel dizzy and faint.
Irregular heartbeat
Along with difficulty in breathing, you may also feel irregular heartbeat. Irregular heartbeats are associated with panic attacks and anxiety attacks, especially in women.
If the rapid heart rate persists for one to two minutes and does not decrease, in addition to a decrease in the heart rate, fainting and feeling tired, it is a sign that a doctor should be consulted.

People in their 50s and 60s who suffer from any kind of chest pain, heartburn or gastritis should immediately consult a physician and get their ECG scan done.
Chest pain
Generally, people above 60 years of age are more prone to heart diseases. According to medical experts, take any pain you feel from the jawbone to the center of the navel seriously, it could be a sign of heart disease, especially if you have never experienced such pain before. .

Another symptom of a heart attack is a pain that starts in the left side of the chest and moves downwards, but most patients feel this pain in the arm.
If there is a feeling of pain or pressure in the center of the chest that spreads to the throat or jaw, it may be a sign of a heart attack.
to feel dizziness
Well, dizziness can have various causes, but if you suddenly feel dizzy accompanied by chest pain or difficulty breathing, contact your doctor immediately. According to experts, this means that the blood pressure drops rapidly because the heart is unable to pump normally.
