Many people know that a sharp pain in the chest, pain radiating to the left arm, shortness of breath, weakness, dizziness are symptoms of a heart attack.. But there is also such a thing as a “silent” heart attack.. It is the diagnosis of this form of cardiac pathology that often causes difficulty.. However, there are still, albeit less pronounced, signs that you should pay attention to..

This applies primarily to men.. According to statistics, it is the male half of the population that is more susceptible to the development of a “silent heart attack,” according to Pannochka, an online publication for girls and women from 14 to 35 years old.. net Researchers from Harvard University found that half of all heart attacks go almost unnoticed by a person.

Most often, the symptoms that appear in connection with a developing heart attack do not have pronounced symptoms and last an extremely short period of time..

Fatigue, feeling of physical discomfort, slight pain in the throat or chest - are accepted by men as a slight malaise, or problems with the gastrointestinal tract. In addition, with a “silent” heart attack, the pain does not have a clear localization, as with a normal heart attack. And yet, you should sound the alarm if:.

- pressing pains and a feeling of discomfort appeared in the chest area, quickly passing and reappearing;

- the appearance of general discomfort in the upper half of the body: in the arms, back, neck, abdomen, lower jaw;

- Accession to the above symptoms of difficulty breathing;

- sudden onset of cold sweat, dizziness, nausea.

Harvard researchers found that almost 78% of men did not even suspect that they had suffered a heart attack..
