4. Back Pain
Back pain is a common symptom that can be associated with heart attacks, and it commonly shows up as one of the potential precursors of a heart attack about to happen together with some of the other symptoms that are mentioned on this list (including chest tightness, chest pain and/or difficulty breathing).
The majority of people imagine that back pain is always related to their back muscles or spine, but this isn’t always the case: A great deal of heart attack patients report that their back hurt a few hours to minutes before having a heart attack – and this might have been the time window that got them to make a trip to the emergency room.
Never ignore any pain for too long, especially not if you are a high risk for a heart attack or know that someone in your family has been diagnosed with a heart condition or had a heart attack during heir lifetime: All these things are increased risk factors for developing a heart attack or heart condition yourself.
