Cough, nausea and sweating can be symptoms of a heart attack. In this respect reports Daily mail.
Myocardial infarction (heart attack) occurs due to complete or partial blockage of the artery feeding the heart. The causes of this condition may be diabetes, hypertension, unhealthy lifestyle, stress and prolonged (or very strong) emotional stress. Men over the age of 40 and women in menopause are most susceptible to myocardial infarction.
A heart attack is often accompanied by chest pain, dizziness and a feeling of shortness of breath. However, less obvious symptoms such as cough may also indicate this condition. A “cardiac” cough is caused by stagnation of blood in the lungs as a result of the heart’s inability to pump fully.
Sweating can also be a sign of a heart attack. It comes suddenly, without any reason. Another warning sign is nausea, which may be accompanied by vomiting and pain in the upper abdomen.
Michaela Nuttall, a cardiac nurse at a hospital in the United Kingdom, said constantly monitoring and maintaining normal blood pressure and cholesterol levels could reduce the risk of heart attack. High cholesterol levels in the blood can lead to the accumulation of fatty deposits on the walls of blood vessels. When these deposits grow, it becomes difficult for blood to move through the arteries, including the artery that feeds the heart. In other cases, such plaques can suddenly detach from the walls of blood vessels and block blood flow in the arteries. This can lead to a heart attack or stroke.
