Heart Attack Symptoms
RECOGNIZING THE SIGNS CAN SAVE YOUR LIFE.
A heart attack is caused by a blockage of blood flow in the arteries that supply oxygen-rich blood to the heart muscle, damaging the heart muscle. The damage disrupts the heart's ability to pump blood and can cause death without immediate medical care. If you think you or someone close to you is having a heart attack, call 911.
The classic symptoms of heart attack are:
++ Chest pain -- pressure or squeezing that lasts for several minutes or comes and goes in waves ++ An uncomfortable sensation in your arm, jaw, neck or back ++ Shortness of breath
Other related symptoms include:
++ Dizziness ++ Nausea
++ Sweating ++ Clammy skin
In addition to the classic symptoms, women can often have more mild symptoms:
++ Palpitations ++ Indigestion
++ Fatigue ++ Flu-like symptoms
People who have had heart attacks describe the feeling as:
++ An elephant sitting on my chest ++ Pain between my shoulder blades ++ Someone squeezing my heart inside my chest ++ Being run over by a truck
