Dr. Richard Zelman | Difficulty Breathing

Breathing difficulties don't necessarily indicate a heart attack, but if they occur unannounced and you experience other indicators of one, it is wise to consult your physician immediately.
As an example, you might notice yourself getting winded more easily when exercising or walking up stairs; having difficulty breathing when lying down; coughing up bloody-looking spit; experiencing an irregular and rapid heartbeat or blue or gray skin color; neck or jaw pain is an indicator that something may be off. Women are particularly prone to these symptoms even without experiencing chest discomfort.
Dr Richard Zelman MD emphasizes that plaque build-up in the arteries carrying oxygen-rich blood to the heart can hinder its proper function and cause irreparable damage, so we must be aware of potential signs of heart attacks as soon as they emerge and recognize them quickly if one should occur.
