| Boilerpipe Text | Warning Signs of a Heart Attack
Some heart attacks are sudden and intense, like the "movie heart attack," where no one doubts what's happening. But most heart attacks start slowly, with mild pain or discomfort. Often people affected aren't sure what's wrong and wait too long before getting help.
Here are signs that can mean a heart attack is happening:
Chest discomfort.
Most heart attacks involve discomfort in the center of the chest that lasts more than a few minutes, or that goes away and comes back. It can feel like uncomfortable pressure, squeezing, fullness or pain.
Discomfort in other areas of the upper body.
Symptoms can include pain or discomfort in one or both arms, the back, neck, jaw or stomach.
Shortness of breath
with or without chest discomfort.
Other signs may include
breaking out in a cold sweat, nausea or lightheadedness.
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 common symptoms, particularly
shortness of breath, nausea/vomiting, and back or jaw pain
.
Learn the signs, but remember this: Even if you're not sure it's a heart attack, have it checked out (tell a doctor about your symptoms). Minutes matter! Fast action can save lives - maybe your own. Don't wait more than five minutes to call 9-1-1 and insist on Upstate!
