What is the difference between the two forms of chest pain presentation? Why is this so important in awareness programs in the heart attack problem?
The difference between chest pain and chest discomfort is like night and day in that the public is not totally aware that heart attacks have beginnings that are soft and not hard as seen in prolonged and severe chest pain. Denial and procrastination cannot be given as a reason for delay until the proper cardiac awareness program on these “smoke detector” symptoms of a heart attack are considered adequate.
