Flu like symptoms accompanied with nausea and vomiting sensation can also be some of the hidden signs of a heart attack.

What About Silent Heart Attacks?

You are hearing it right; heart attacks are now becoming more and more silent

It’s common and quite natural to see someone – whether in moves, acts or in reality, holding or rather clutching their chest, bursting in sweat and groaning with severe pain and then collapsing on the ground, and to confirm that they have a heart attack. This is what all of us see in day-to-day life; and, in fact, most of us are taught to recognise heart attack in this way – but, heart attacks do not always occur with the usual signs and symptoms.

Chest pain is not always a rule of thumb to recognize heart attack because sometimes a heart attack can be different from the one which is accompanied with severe chest pain – rather it may not be painful at all.

It will not come with tell-tale signs of a typical heart attack – not even that symbolic chest pain – which everyone of us are taught to recognize quite diligently. This type of heart attack is called a silent heart attack.
