Heart Attack
One of the more serious symptoms of clogged arteries is a heart attack. While mild heart attacks may be corrected through surgical procedures, more extensive ones can lead to death.
Those experiencing a heart attack have described it as crushing pressure and severe chest pain. This may be combined with sweating and weakness. A person may also experience pain in the arms and shoulders. However, it's possible for a heart attack to occur without any obvious symptoms.8‘Coronary Artery Disease - Symptoms and Causes.’ Mayo Clinic, 5 June 2020, www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/coronary-artery-disease/symptoms-causes/syc-20350613
