What is heart disease?
Heart disease is one of the leading health risks facing men today. According to the American Heart Association (AHA), more than one in three adult men has heart disease. Heart disease is an umbrella term that includes:
heart failure
coronary artery disease
arrhythmias
angina
other heart-related infections, irregularities, and birth defects
Although it may seem that something so serious should have warning signs, it’s possible to develop heart disease without knowing it as you go about your daily life. Know the early signs of heart disease — as well as risk factors — so you can get treatment early and prevent more serious health problems.
SYMPTOMS:
Discomfort or pain in your chest:
This can often feel like a heaviness, tightness or pressure. People who have had a heart attack have commonly described it as like “an elephant sitting on my chest”, “a belt that’s been tightened around my chest” or “bad indigestion”.
The discomfort may spread to different parts of your upper body.
Discomfort in your arm(s), shoulder(s), neck, jaw or back
You may have a choking feeling in your throat. Your arms may feel heavy or useless.
Other symptoms:
You may:
feel short of breath
feel nauseous
have a cold sweat
feel dizzy or light-headed.
Some people have also described feeling generally unwell or “not quite right”.
Symptoms can come on suddenly or develop over minutes and get progressively worse. They usually last for at least 10 minutes.
