Recognizing the symptoms of a heart attack are crucial for effective care and treatment in such an emergency. The experience varies, with symptoms of a heart attack affecting each individual differently. With the degree of symptoms differing from one individual to another, it is easy to see how these symptoms are often misinterpreted as heartburn or indigestion.
Some common symptoms of a heart attack include
discomfort
in the chest, shoulder, arm, back or jaw, the feeling of heaviness and
pressure
in the chest, shortness of breath, nausea, sweats, heart palpitations
and
anxiety. Many risk factors for heart disease are controllable, though
some are
not. It is possible to reduce the risk
factors for heart disease by making serious lifestyle changes.
These symptoms
of
a heart attack can feel like a squeezing or heavy pressure on the
chest,
a tight band around the chest, having something heavy sitting on top of
your
chest, or a bad case of indigestion.
