Don’t IGNORE this WEIRD feeling [FIRST heart attack warning?]
Call it the world’s worst coin toss.
Heads, you get nothing. But tails?
You get a HEART ATTACK!
As crazy as that sounds, new research reveals HALF of the people who develop an easy-to-spot issue end up SUFFERING a heart attack…
Making it potentially one of the biggest cardiac warning signs around.
Here’s the problem…
You’d definitely FEEL it… but almost certainly IGNORE it!
So today, let me share what to look for.
More importantly, let me help turn the odds in your favor…
Because I want to put you in that OTHER half…
The 50% who DON’T suffer that heart attack!
Watch out for THE TINGLER
When I was a kid, there was a Vincent Price movie called The Tingler about a parasite that feeds on fear — specifically the “tingle down the spine” sensation.
Theater owners would wire buzzers into the seats… and hit the switch during key moments.
Nearly every member of the audience would practically have a heart attack!
Now, it turns out that TINGLING in another part of the body could mean you’re at risk of an ACTUAL heart attack…
Because new research shows how that sensation in your feet and toes could be a key warning sign.
It’s officially called small fiber neuropathy.
It’s NOT when your foot falls asleep because you sat on your leg or were curled up too long on the sofa reading a book or watching TV.
It’s a sensation that comes and goes seemingly on its own, and can feel like tingling… pins and needles… or numbness down there at the lower extremities.
For some, it goes beyond a tingle and feels more like burning pain.
Nearly HALF of the people with the condition tracked over the course of the 6-year study suffered a heart attack at some point.
Researchers aren’t sure why, exactly.
The folks with the tingle were more likely to be overweight or obese… and more likely to have diabetes, too.
But that didn’t explain ALL of the risk.
That, they think, could be because the condition is a warning sign of out-of-control inflammation…
And inflammation is a key driver of overall cardiovascular risk.
So, here’s what you need to do…
First, if you feel “the tingler” coming for you, get to the doc for a checkup — especially if you’re overdue. Maybe you didn’t have diabetes before, but you could have it now… particularly if you’ve been MIA from your doctor’s office through the whole shutdown business.
If you DON’T have diabetes, PHEW.
But don’t rest TOO easy… because you’ve still got the tingling feeling.
So second, get busy on circulation-boosting therapies to ensure “the tingler” doesn’t make a run for your heart.
I generally suggest the following for overall cardiovascular protection (hopefully, minimal tingling):
- L-carnitine (1,000 mg)
- coenzyme Q10 (100 mg)
- selenium (200 mcg)
- magnesium (500 to 800 mg), and
- vitamin E as mixed tocopherols (400 to 800 IU)
And don’t forget the best circulation-booster of all — a little daily activity.
