You suffer from a shortness of breath
If you find yourself running or climbing the stairs and feeling unusually winded that’s usually one of the warning signs of heart trouble. “The biggest thing I tell people first is to develop a knowledge of their own risk in their body,” says Dr. Phillips.
“They should know what’s normal for them so they can know when something is different from their normal.” Ask your doctor to conduct a thorough health evaluation. It’s best to be proactive about your heart health now and learn how to reduce your risk of a cardiac arrest in the future.
