Signs & Symptoms of a Heart Attack

Swollen Legs

Swelling of your feet and legs could also indicate a heart attack. In most case, you might notice the lower extremities getting more swollen after taking off your pants or shoes later in the day because gravity would increase the pressure and amount of blood in the vessels of these areas. Like pain in the torso and chest, this condition is mainly triggered by a lack of blood flow from your heart. In many cases, blood might clot up and stop or prevent your heart from pumping as usual.
