Very few people know that the body, before actually experiencing a heart attack, sends out small signals and changes on the human body that try to warn us of an approaching problem. Many people mistakenly believe that a heart attack is one of the few health problems that occurs without warning signs. However, that is not the case. You simply need to learn to better understand your body. If you understand it perfectly, you will recognize an impending heart attack, detect it in time and be able to take preventive measures. Which signals the body sends will be described below in this article.
Signals appearing on the face
Some of these signals may be very subtle, but even the slightest message counts. You should pay particular attention if you notice tiny fatty deposits forming on your eyelids, which indicate that you have relatively high blood cholesterol that sits on the surface of your skin. Another way your body may indicate that a heart attack is approaching is the condition of your lips. If you feel that your lips are losing their red color and taking on a bluish tint, you should definitely act. At that point it is appropriate to make an appointment with your doctor, who should check whether blood flow in your body is OK. It may be a trivial problem that will be resolved quickly and without consequences, but it may also be that a heart attack is approaching, which in this situation occurs due to a lack of circulation in your bloodstream. You should also be alert if your dentist has diagnosed inflammation at the tip of the root of any tooth. This is a problem that has been scientifically found to possibly be related to an impending heart attack. It is an issue closely linked to blood circulation, whose deficiency is precisely what the health problem we call a heart attack depends on.
Problems with hair
An approaching heart attack cannot be recognized only by changes that occur in the face; you can also detect it in connection with your hair. One of the most common problems generally associated with heart problems is hair loss. Premature or excessive hair loss is a well-known manifestation especially of heart problems in men. There are a number of studies that document that premature or excessive hair loss is associated with heart problems. However, a heart attack may not be the only cause of this problem; diabetes, for example, is also linked to the heart and can also cause this issue. If you are therefore troubled by excessive or premature hair loss, consult your doctor, who will surely quickly identify the cause of your problem.
In addition to hair loss, there is also the problem of graying hair; it can also be said of this common problem of aging that it may be caused by heart disease. However, it is important to distinguish whether this is a natural aging process or whether the graying occurred too early or the hair is graying at an alarming rate; in such a case, you should rather consult your doctor to rule out more serious problems such as the aforementioned impending heart attack or other heart conditions.
