WARNING: 6 Heart Attack Symptoms You Need to Know Right Now!
Symptoms of heart attack you need to know right now.
Heart attack, a.k.a myocardial infarction, occurs when part of the heart muscle starts to die because of inadequate oxygenated blood supply to the heart.
And this inadequacy is commonly caused by an obstruction in the coronary arteries by blood clots or cholesterol plaques.
And while 90% people do survive their first heart attack, almost 10% don't make it because of extensive damage caused by the time they reach the hospital.
So do you know these 6 heart attack symptoms?
Read on to find out.
#1 Acute Chest Pain
The pain associated with a heart attack occurs suddenly in the middle of your chest. And it is a severe, twisting sort of pain. As if someone is squeezing the life out of your heart.
This pain, a.k.a angina, last for a few minutes and often disappears after a while if the blood flow is restored to your heart. But if it is not, then the pain quickly radiates to your arms, back, neck, and then head.
#2 Pain in the Jaws or Toothache
This symptom is more commonly seen in women than in men when they get a heart attack. And may or may not be accompanied by chest pain.
#3 Acute Shortness of Breath
This is another common symptom of a heart attack, wherein the individual suddenly starts to gasp for air as if they are drowning.
This shortness of breath (a.k.a dyspnea) can occur before the chest pain begins or can occur at the same time.
#4 Excessive Sweating
Breaking into a cold sweat is often a sign you see right before someone faints. But when in conjunction with these other symptoms, it is a sign that you are having a heart attack.
#5 Nausea and Vomiting
Angina very often spreads to the upper part of your stomach and causes epigastric pain, which gives rise to intense heartburn, feeling of indigestion, nausea, and vomiting during a heart attack.
#6 Pain in the Arm
During a heart attack, people often feel intense pain in their left arm, shoulders, back, and sometimes, even the entire left side.
But this symptom is not always restricted to the left.
What Should You Do If You Have a Heart Attack?
The most important thing is to call for help and alert people so they can call an ambulance. Because the longer you take to reach the O.R, the greater will be the damage caused to your heart.
