Can you identify the symptoms and sign of heart attack?
We may tend to think a heart attack is sudden and intense, like a "Hollywood movie" heart attack, where a person clutches his or her chest and falls over.
The truth is that many heart attacks start slowly, as a mild pain or discomfort.
If you feel such a symptom, you may not even be sure what's wrong.
Your symptoms may come and go. Even those who have had a heart attack may not recognize their symptoms, because the next attack can have entirely different ones.
Therefore, it's vital that everyone learn the warning signs of a heart attack. These are:
Most heart attacks involve discomfort in the center of the chest that lasts for more than a few minutes, or goes away and comes back. The discomfort can feel like uncomfortable pressure, squeezing, fullness, or pain.
2) Discomfort in other areas of the upper body.
This can include pain or discomfort in one or both arms, the back, neck, jaw, or stomach.
3) Shortness of breath.
This often comes along with chest discomfort. But it also can occur before chest discomfort.
4) Other symptoms.
May include breaking out in a cold sweat, nausea, or light-headedness.
As with men, women's most common heart attack symptom is chest pain or discomfort. But women are somewhat more likely than men to experience some of the other symptoms, particularly shortness of breath, nausea/vomiting, and back or jaw pain.
