Many possible: There are many warning signs. Having chest pain is a common one. Also, if you get chest pain while walking or exerting or if you get short of breath. Sometimes it is just that you have difficulty breathing, or even having problems lying flat because of breathing problems. With all the possibilities, i would suggest talking with your primary care physician about your symptoms.
