This is a strong predictor of future cardiovascular events, including heart attacks.

These signs don’t always mean a heart attack is coming, but they do suggest your cardiovascular system could be compromised.
✅ What to Do If You Notice These Symptoms:
– See a doctor promptly, especially if symptoms are new or worsening.
– Monitor other heart attack warning signs, such as chest pain, shortness of breath, fatigue, or dizziness.
– Get screened for blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, and heart function.
