Chandigarh, January 6, 2025 (Punjab Khabarnama Bureau): The severity of a heart attack is well known to everyone. Whether it’s a man or a woman, avoiding a heart attack is not easy. Therefore, one should be serious about its symptoms. Doctors frequently provide information about these symptoms, and being aware of them can help save lives. Experts have identified modern lifestyle habits and poor eating habits as the primary causes of heart attacks.
Before a heart attack strikes, several symptoms can appear in the body, some of which are even visible in the eyes. In this article, we will discuss these symptoms.
Symptoms of a Heart Attack Visible in the Eyes
A few weeks before a heart attack occurs, specific signs can be seen in the eyes. If you notice these symptoms, you should immediately consult a doctor and get proper tests done. Here are 4 such symptoms:
- Sudden Vision Loss: The first condition visible in the eyes before a heart attack is sudden vision loss. This happens because the retina, which supplies blood to the eyes, becomes blocked before a heart attack.
- Yellowing of the Eyes: Many people notice an increase in yellowing of their eyes before a heart attack. Some people can even see a yellowish tint near their eyelashes.
- Increased Eye Pain and Tension: Many individuals experience increased pain and tension in their eyes. This could be due to blood clotting disorders, as there may be a blockage in the blood vessels that supply blood to the eyes before a heart attack.
- Damaged Blood Vessels in the Eyes: Before a heart attack, the blood vessels in the eyes may get damaged. If this happens suddenly, it should not be ignored.
When does a heart attack occur?
A heart attack occurs when there is a blockage in the arteries supplying blood to the heart. This blockage prevents the heart muscles from receiving adequate oxygen and blood supply.
Other Symptoms of a Heart Attack: In addition to the common symptoms, other signs of a heart attack can include sharp pain in the chest, a burning sensation, or a feeling of heaviness in the chest. Ignoring any of these symptoms can be fatal.
How to take care during winters: Experts say that the risk of having a heart attack increases in the winter months. Therefore, it’s important to wear warm clothes and keep yourself fit by practicing yoga. If you have conditions like high blood pressure (BP), cholesterol, or diabetes, it is essential to keep them under control. Regular blood check-ups are important. If any of the above symptoms appear, contact a doctor immediately.
Summary: A heart attack occurs due to artery blockage. Symptoms include chest pain. In winter, wear warm clothes, stay fit, and manage health conditions for prevention.
