HEART ATTACK SYMPTOMS & WARNING SIGNS

A heart attack is a frightening event, and you probably don't want to think about it. But, if you learn the signs of a heart attack and what steps to take, you can save a life - maybe your own.

What are the signs and symptoms of a heart attack?

Many people think a heart attack is sudden and intense, like a "movie" heart attack, where a person clutches his or her chest and falls over.

The truth is that many heart attacks start slowly, as a mild pain or discomfort. If you feel such a symptom, you may not be sure what's wrong. Your symptoms may even come and go. Even those who have had a heart attack may not recognize their symptoms, because the next attack can have entirely different ones.

Women may not think they're at risk of having a heart attack - but they are.

It's vital that everyone learn the warning signs of a heart attack. These are:
? 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. Can include pain or discomfort in one or both arms, the back, neck, jaw, or stomach.
? Shortness of breath. Often comes along with chest discomfort. But it also can occur before chest discomfort.

Prevention is your best weapon against a heart attack. It can prevent or limit damage to the heart. The sooner prevention measures are started, the more good they will do - and the greater the chances are for survival and a full recovery.

To your good health,
