Sweating more than usual could be a sign of an impending heart attack, experts say. Night sweats are also a sign for women that they have heart issues.

A heart attack happens when part of the organ can't pump because it is dying due to a lack of blood flow. This disrupts the pumping sequence for the whole heart and causes major complications, reports the Mirror.
