Indigestion, Nausea, & Vomiting:
 

Some people have these symptoms during a heart attack. They may even vomit. Women are more likely to report this type of symptom than men are. You can have an upset stomach for many reasons that have nothing to do with your heart.

Pain that Spreads to the Arm:

Sweating-Day & Night:

Other warning signs of Heart Diseases:

Chest Pain:
 

Chest pain is discomfort or pain that you feel along the front of your body, between your neck and upper abdomen. There are many causes of chest pain that have nothing to do with your heart. But chest pain is still the most common symptom of poor blood flow to the heart or a heart attack. This type of chest pain is called angina. Chest pain can occur when the heart is not getting enough blood or oxygen. The amount and type of pain can vary from person to person. The intensity of the pain does not always relate to how severe the problem is.

Shortness of Breath

When the heart can not pump blood as well as it should, blood backs up in the veins that go from the lungs to the heart. Fluid leaks into the lungs and causes shortness of breath. This is a symptom of heart failure.

Coughing or Wheezing

Coughing or wheezing that does not go away can be another sign that fluid is building up in your lungs. You may also cough up mucus that is pink or bloody.

Swelling in the Legs, Ankles, or Feet

Swelling (edema) in your lower legs is another sign of a heart problem. When your heart doesn't work as well, blood flow slows and backs up in the veins in your stomach or notice some weight gain.

Fatigue

Tiredness can have many causes. Often it simply means that you need more rest. But feeling run down can be a sign of a more serious problem.
