Warning of five hidden signs of a heart attack following Trevor Francis' death
People are being warned to look out for five hidden warning signs of a heart attack following the death of former England star Trevor Francis.
The Three Lions icon passed away age 69 at his home in Marbella on Monday morning having suffered a heart attack.
Heart attacks are caused when coronary arteries supplying blood are blocked and some symptoms are commonly known such as pressure, aching or a squeezing feel on the chest.
Sometimes the pain covers the arms, neck and back while moving in waves with it often starting mildly and then worsening.
Football great Francis had suffered a heart attack 11 years ago and kept himself fit with daily power walks.
Surprising symptom that 40% of women suffer weeks before a heart attack
He had an annual health check through the League Managers' Association and, according to his spokesman, was "enjoying life very much having eventually got over the death of his wife". Helen passed away in 2017 after a battle with cancer.
Francis will always be remembered for scoring Nottingham Forest ’s winner in their 1979 European Cup final win against Malmo, while he also pulled on the England shirt 52 times.
People may have very different symptoms or none at all when they are suffering a heart attack and here is a list of five signs that are less commonly known, stated the Australian Heart foundation.
1. Dizziness and light-headedness
An indication could be if a person starts feeling faint, unsteady on their feet and the room starts spinning. If this happens it could be your body warning you of a heart attack and help should be sought.
2. Nausea, indigestion or vomiting
These symptoms could be brought on by many conditions but for anyone feeling sick, believing they have simply indigestion or maybe vomiting they should not ignore the possibility that it could be something more serious. It should always be remembered that the sooner help is given then the better are the outcomes.
3. Shortness of breath
While being left out of breath is normal when exercising, when it happens for no apparent reason then it needs to be looked into and could be caused by many conditions. But when it happens along with a tightening of the chest, or generally discomfort in that area then, in particular, it could be a warning sign of a heart attack.
4. Sweating
Sweating for no reason with people feeling hot while the weather is not particularly warm could also be another indicator of a heart attack. This includes a cold sweat which is commonly seen as being caused by a virus or infection.
5. No warning
There doesn’t have to be a warning sign of a heart attack and somebody could have no symptoms at all. Signs may only become clear afterwards and tests could show that the person has suffered a heart attack.
