A silent heart attack is a heart attack that has scarcely any signs. You may have never had any signs to alert you that you’ve developed a heart attack, for instance, chest pain or shortness of breath. Silent heart attack may occur with signs as acid reflux, anxiety, muscle pain or a terrible case of flu.
The dangers for a silent heart attack are identical to those for a heart attack with symptoms. The risk factors include:
- Smoking or gnawing tobacco
- Family history of heart disease
- Age
- Elevated cholesterol
- Hypertension
- Diabetes
- Absence of activity
- Being overweight
