“Excessive sweating can be a clear indication of a heart attack, especially if the person leads a desk-bound lifestyle,” Dr Anand Kumar Pandey, Director and Senior Consultant- Cardiology, Dharamshila Narayana Superspeciality Hospital said.
Explaining the link between the two, he said: “At the time of heart attack, your heart slows down and it becomes difficult to circulate blood through the body. It actually happens when the coronary artery gets blocked and breaks down the supply of oxygen-rich blood to the heart muscle. Therefore, the body uses extra energy to pump blood and cool itself down, which makes you sweat.”
You shouldn’t ignore excessive sweating if it is “more than usual, especially when you aren’t doing exercise as it can be an early warning alert of heart diseases“. In such a situation, the expert suggested keeping your body temperature down.
