Suspense crime, Digital Desk : Recent news about 'Kaanta Laga' star Shefali Jariwala experiencing a health scare, reportedly involving seizure-like symptoms that she feared was a cardiac event, has once again put a spotlight on the critical importance of recognizing the early signs of a heart attack.

Heart attacks are no longer a concern only for the elderly. Increasingly, younger individuals are experiencing cardiovascular issues due to modern lifestyles, stress, and poor dietary habits. Recognizing the symptoms early can be the difference between life and death.

While sudden, intense chest pain is the most famous sign, many heart attacks start slowly with mild, intermittent discomfort. Here are seven key warning signs everyone should know:

1. Chest Discomfort (Angina): This is the most common symptom. It can feel like pressure, squeezing, fullness, or pain in the center of your chest. The feeling may last for more than a few minutes or go away and come back.

2. Pain Spreading to Other Areas: The pain or discomfort isn't always confined to the chest. It can radiate to one or both arms (especially the left), the back, neck, jaw, or even the stomach.

3. Shortness of Breath: You might feel like you can't catch your breath. This can occur with or without accompanying chest discomfort and is a serious red flag.

4. Cold Sweat: Breaking out in a sudden, cold sweat for no apparent reason is a classic sign of a heart attack. Your skin may feel clammy or cool to the touch.

5. Nausea, Indigestion, or Dizziness: Some people, particularly women, may experience symptoms like nausea, vomiting, or sudden lightheadedness. These are often mistaken for the flu or indigestion.

6. Extreme Fatigue: Feeling unusually tired for no reason, sometimes for days, can be a sign that your heart is struggling to pump blood effectively. This isn't just normal tiredness; it's an overwhelming sense of exhaustion.

7. Anxiety or a Sense of Impending Doom: Many heart attack survivors report feeling an unexplainable sense of intense anxiety or a feeling that something terrible is about to happen just before the event.

If you or someone you are with experiences any of these symptoms, do not ignore them or wait for them to go away. It is crucial to call for emergency medical help immediately.
