Heart attacks are serious medical conditions that may kill the infected, but early detection by attention to some of the symptoms that may occur in the body, helps to treat them quickly and easily.
One of the symptoms that doctors stress on attention is swelling of the ankles, which means that there are accumulated fluids in that area.
"This should not be ignored, especially if the ankles become very swollen, because it may be a sign of heart failure," said David Newby, a professor at the British Heart Foundation.
The swelling of the ankles may also be due to other factors, such as the treatment of certain drugs, such as high blood pressure medicine, calling people with such a tumor, review with their doctor quickly.
Kidney or lung disease, malnutrition, and liver disease can lead to swelling of the ankles.
Another symptom that should be observed, as a sign of a heart attack, is the feeling of persistent pain in the stomach.
However, because of the proximity of the heart and esophagus and stomach, the challenge for the injured and doctors is to determine whether the pain is caused by heartburn, for example, indigestion or heart attack.
Other warning signs include excessive sweating, jaw pain, or persistent nausea.
