What are symptoms of heart attack?
• Chest discomfort. 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. • 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. • Shortness of breath. This often comes along with chest discomfort. But it also can occur before chest discomfort. • Other symptoms. These may include breaking out in a cold sweat or experiencing nausea or light–headedness.
