And now it’s time for another Wellness 101 – The Top 5 Warning Signs of a Heart Attack…presented by St. Luke’s University Health Network.



Hey guys…Mr. Wellness here and today we are talking Heart Attack warning signs! Everyone knows the classic warning signs like tightness and discomfort in your chest or pain that shoots down your left arm, but did you know that there are quite a few other symptoms of ticker attacks that shouldn’t be ignored? Not all heart problems come with an alarm system…so try to pay close attention to these top 5 warning signs!


Warning Sign One: Throat or Jaw Pain
By itself, jaw or throat pain is more likely caused by a cold or a sinus problem. But if you have pressure or pain that starts in your chest and spreads to your throat or jaw…you could be having a heart attack. Call 911 or seek medical attention at your closest St. Luke’s emergency room to make sure everything is A ok.


Warning Sign Two: You Get Worn Out Easily
If you find yourself getting tuckered out quickly after doing something you’ve had no issues doing in the past like climbing the steps or carrying the laundry…make an appointment to see your doctor right away as unexplained exhaustion can be a symptom of heart disease.



Warning Sign Three: Feeling Dizzy
Lots of things can make you feel lightheaded like: being dehydrated, standing up too fast, or even stress! But if you are feeling dizzy while having chest pressure and shortness of breath, call your St. Luke’s doctor right away as you may be experiencing a dip in blood pressure because your heart is not pumping the way it should!



Warning Sign Four: Excessive Sweating
Breaking out in a full-on cold sweat for no apparent reason while experiencing dizziness, shortness of breath or discomfort in your chest could mean your having a heart attack. Call 911 or get to your nearest St. Luke’s emergency room right away!



Warning Sign Five: Relentless Cough
In the new world of COVID-19, this is a warning that shouldn’t be overlooked anyway but it could also be a tell-tale sign of heart disease as well! Pay close attention to the symptoms. If you are experiencing a seemingly never-ending cough that produces a pink mucus, it could be a sign that your heart can’t keep up with your body’s demands, causing blood to leak back into your lungs.



Not all heart attack warning signs are created equal my friends…if you’re not sure what you’re experiencing, it’s best to get it checked out! Better to be safe than sorry! This is especially true for my 60 and older friends or folks who have some bum ticker triggers like diabetes, obesity, or high blood pressure. The more risks you have…the more concerned you should be that your condition could be as serious as a heart attack!
