Unlike typical heart attacks, silent heart attacks often develop without severe chest pain and are frequently mistaken for indigestion or gas. Doctors warn that repeated burping, bloating, or a feeling of heaviness in the chest—especially if recurring—may be warning signs.

Those at higher risk include older adults, individuals with long-term high blood pressure, or those with a family history of heart disease. Hidden symptoms may include mild chest discomfort, nausea, upper abdominal pain, unexplained fatigue, pain radiating to the arms, neck, or jaw, and shortness of breath or cold sweats.

Ignoring these signs can be dangerous; early medical evaluation is crucial to prevent serious complications and save lives
