A <strong data-start=\"740\" data-end=\"756\">heart attack<\/strong>, medically known as a <strong data-start=\"779\" data-end=\"804\">myocardial infarction<\/strong>, happens when blood flow to the heart muscle is severely reduced or blocked. Without enough oxygen-rich blood, parts of the heart muscle become damaged \u2014 which can be life-threatening.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"991\" data-end=\"1227\">Although a heart attack can feel sudden, it often results from an <strong data-start=\"1057\" data-end=\"1087\">underlying heart condition<\/strong> that has developed over time. The most common causes include <strong data-start=\"1149\" data-end=\"1167\">plaque buildup<\/strong> in the arteries or a <strong data-start=\"1189\" data-end=\"1203\">blood clot<\/strong> that blocks blood flow.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1229\" data-end=\"1472\">Certain triggers like <strong data-start=\"1251\" data-end=\"1280\">intense physical exertion<\/strong>, <strong data-start=\"1282\" data-end=\"1302\">emotional stress<\/strong>, or <strong data-start=\"1307\" data-end=\"1328\">cold temperatures<\/strong> can constrict blood vessels and reduce blood flow to the heart. Several <strong data-start=\"1401\" data-end=\"1417\">risk factors<\/strong> can increase the chances of a heart attack, including:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"1474\" data-end=\"1671\">\n<li class=\"\" data-start=\"1474\" data-end=\"1509\">\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1476\" data-end=\"1509\">Family history of heart disease<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"\" data-start=\"1510\" data-end=\"1517\">\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1512\" data-end=\"1517\">Age<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"\" data-start=\"1518\" data-end=\"1529\">\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1520\" data-end=\"1529\">Obesity<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"\" data-start=\"1530\" data-end=\"1550\">\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1532\" data-end=\"1550\">High cholesterol<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"\" data-start=\"1551\" data-end=\"1574\">\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1553\" data-end=\"1574\">High blood pressure<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"\" data-start=\"1575\" data-end=\"1598\">\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1577\" data-end=\"1598\">Poor dietary habits<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"\" data-start=\"1599\" data-end=\"1609\">\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1601\" data-end=\"1609\">Stress<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"\" data-start=\"1610\" data-end=\"1639\">\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1612\" data-end=\"1639\">Lack of physical activity<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"\" data-start=\"1640\" data-end=\"1671\">\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1642\" data-end=\"1671\">Excessive alcohol consumption<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1673\" data-end=\"1938\">If you\u2019re at risk, it\u2019s important to <strong data-start=\"1710\" data-end=\"1749\">monitor your heart health regularly<\/strong>.

Here are some symptoms to watch for:<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"\" data-start=\"2090\" data-end=\"2124\"><strong data-start=\"2095\" data-end=\"2124\">1. Chest Pain or Pressure<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2125\" data-end=\"2412\">The most well-known symptom is chest discomfort. People describe it in different ways \u2014 some say it feels like an <strong data-start=\"2239\" data-end=\"2277\">elephant is sitting on their chest<\/strong>, while others report a sensation of <strong data-start=\"2314\" data-end=\"2340\">tightness or squeezing<\/strong>. This discomfort might come and go or appear hours \u2014 even days \u2014 later.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"\" data-start=\"2414\" data-end=\"2455\"><strong data-start=\"2419\" data-end=\"2455\">2. Pain Radiating to Other Areas<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2456\" data-end=\"2728\">Heart attack pain isn\u2019t limited to the chest. You might feel discomfort in areas such as the <strong data-start=\"2549\" data-end=\"2561\">left arm<\/strong>, <strong data-start=\"2563\" data-end=\"2576\">shoulders<\/strong>, <strong data-start=\"2578\" data-end=\"2586\">neck<\/strong>, <strong data-start=\"2588\" data-end=\"2596\">back<\/strong>, <strong data-start=\"2598\" data-end=\"2605\">jaw<\/strong>, or <strong data-start=\"2610\" data-end=\"2627\">upper stomach<\/strong>. Women, in particular, often experience <strong data-start=\"2668\" data-end=\"2683\">lower chest<\/strong> or <strong data-start=\"2687\" data-end=\"2705\">abdominal pain<\/strong> during a heart attack.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"\" data-start=\"2730\" data-end=\"2760\"><strong data-start=\"2735\" data-end=\"2760\">3. Excessive Sweating<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2761\" data-end=\"2999\">Unusual or <strong data-start=\"2772\" data-end=\"2794\">excessive sweating<\/strong>, particularly <strong data-start=\"2809\" data-end=\"2825\">night sweats<\/strong> in women, may be an early warning sign. When arteries are blocked, the heart has to work harder to circulate blood, causing the body to sweat to maintain normal temperature.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"\" data-start=\"3001\" data-end=\"3032\"><strong data-start=\"3006\" data-end=\"3032\">4. Shortness of Breath<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"3033\" data-end=\"3256\">The heart and lungs work together to deliver oxygen to the body. When the heart struggles to pump effectively, it may lead to <strong data-start=\"3159\" data-end=\"3183\">difficulty breathing<\/strong>. Women may also feel <strong data-start=\"3205\" data-end=\"3224\">extreme fatigue<\/strong> along with shortness of breath.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"\" data-start=\"3258\" data-end=\"3304\"><strong data-start=\"3263\" data-end=\"3304\">5.
