How Do You Recognize Signs Of A Heart Attack?
These guidelines are based on the recommendations of the American Heart Association. Note any crushing pain, pressure or squeezing in the center of your chest that lasts for more than a few minutes. Be alert to pain that spreads to the jaw, neck, shoulder or arms (often the left arm). Note any nausea, sweating, dizziness, or shortness of breath in combination with chest pain. Look for any combination of the symptoms listed above. Keep track of one or more of the above warning signs subsiding, and then returning.
