A silent heart attack is a kind of heart attack that does not show any kind of symptoms that's why it is called a silent heart attack. Normally, a person who suffers from a heart attack does not get enough oxygen which leads to pressure on the heart, damage to heart muscles, and a blood clot that leads to a heart attack as it obstructs the blood flow in the coronary artery. Usually, a heart attack can occur anytime while a person is asleep or awake or has serious emotional or physical stress, when the body is highly inactive, or even when a person is physically active outside in the cold. Silent heart attack is a serious issue as nearly 50 to 80% of heart attacks are usually silent. It has also been witnessed that silent heart attack is more common in women as compared to men.
