2. Nausea, Indigestion, Heartburn, or Stomach Pain
Abdominal pain occurs in over 50% of heart attacks in both males and females. The symptoms may include an upset stomach, nausea with an empty or full stomach or feeling bloated. This can be due to the body’s response to a lack of oxygen in the blood. Acid reflux or heartburn are also symptoms of a heart attack that are overlooked. Listen to what your body is telling you, if something feels unusual seek medical attention right away.
3. Irregular heartbeat
If you drink too much coffee in the morning, you may feel as if your heart is beating quickly. In rare occasions, this can be a symptom of atrial fibrillation, a medical condition also referred to as afib. When the heart is not receiving enough blood, every part of the body is affected, and many things can go wrong as a side effect.
