Excessive sweating can be a sign of a heart attack

Due to lack of understanding of the symptoms of a heart attack, seeking timely medical attention is delayed, making the condition dangerous.

Chest pain, palpitations, and excessive sweating are all signs of a heart attack.

In particular, sweating is a natural phenomenon that happens to most people in the summer, but sweating quickly and feeling uncomfortable can be symptoms of a heart attack.

Why do you sweat a lot before a heart attack?

According to Dr. Bhumesh Tyagi, Professor of Internal Medicine at Sharda Hospital (India), when the coronary blood vessels have difficulty supplying adequate blood to the heart, the patient will start sweating very quickly.

Due to the accumulation of cholesterol in the coronary arteries, it causes blockage and the blood supply to the heart is reduced. In such a situation, the heart has to work very hard to pump blood. Thus, it puts a lot of pressure on the heart. In this condition, the body tries to normalize the temperature and sweats very quickly.

If you sweat profusely for no apparent reason, it could be a sign of a heart attack, according to India TV News.

In particular, when sweating is accompanied by one or more of the following symptoms, call emergency services immediately.

• Chest pain and feeling anxious.
• Severe burning sensation in chest.
• Exhausted, short of breath.
• Abnormally fast or slow heartbeat.
• Pain in the arm, shoulder, neck or jaw, teeth.
• Headache, dizziness.
