 I ignored every single warning sign my body was sending me for three straight weeks before I had a massive heart attack when I was forty-seven years old. I’m talking about signs like stress, indigestion, or just getting older.

I thought that only movie stars who clutched their chest and fell over in a heap had heart attacks. I had no idea that my body was sending out warning signs. Signs like fatigue that just wouldn’t go away no matter how much I slept. Signs like jaw pain that I attributed to grinding my teeth. Signs like indigestion that antacids couldn’t touch. Signs like shortness of breath when I climbed stairs that I used to climb easily. I ignored all of these signs until I fell over in my driveway.

The truth is that your body will send out distress signals a month or so before you have a heart attack, but most people will ignore these signs or write them off as minor symptoms.

Here are the actual symptoms. Severe episodes of inexplicable fatigue, particularly in women—your heart is working hard to pump blood effectively. Difficulty breathing while performing ordinary tasks—your heart is not receiving adequate oxygen. Periodic chest pain, commonly attributed to heartburn. Pain radiating to the jaw, neck, shoulder, or arm. Cold sweats without any apparent reason. Nausea and gastrointestinal problems. Dizziness or lightheadedness. Irregular heartbeats or palpitations. Most people suffer from these symptoms for weeks before the actual attack.

Thanks to a guide that I discovered to survive when the shelves are bare, there is no electricity, and doctors are not available, I learned about various methods to identify key health alerts and employ potent natural remedies to promote heart health before the disaster occurs. This guidebook has literally saved me by learning the symptoms of cardiac trouble and reversing my heart disease by making lifestyle changes since my heart attack.

But now I no longer just push through symptoms or write them off as normal signs of aging. This means taking persistent fatigue seriously as a symptom of a heart problem. Seeking immediate care if I have chest pain or inexplicable shortness of breath. Recognizing that the symptoms of a heart attack are often not dramatic but subtle. Tracking blood pressure and cholesterol levels. Supporting heart health through healthy eating, rather than waiting until an emergency. And, of course, recognizing that your body always gives you a warning before a big event—whether you’re listening or not until it’s catastrophically too late.
