This is what I found:

Signs and symptoms
Heart attacks have many variable signs and symptoms. Not all people who have heart attacks experience the same ones or experience them to the same degree. Many heart attacks aren't as dramatic as the ones you've seen on TV or in the movies.

For example, heart attack symptoms in women, in older adults and in people with diabetes tend to be less pronounced. Some people have no symptoms at all. Still, the more signs and symptoms you have, the greater the likelihood that you may be having a heart attack.

Warning signs and symptoms of a heart attack include:

Pressure, fullness or a squeezing pain in the center of your chest that lasts for more than a few minutes
Pain extending beyond your chest to your shoulder, arm, back, or even to your teeth and jaw
Increasing episodes of chest pain
Prolonged pain in the upper abdomen
Shortness of breath
Sweating
Impending sense of doom
Lightheadedness
Fainting
Nausea and vomiting
A heart attack can occur anytime — at work or play, while you're resting, or while you're in motion. Some heart attacks strike suddenly, but many people who experience a heart attack have warning signs and symptoms hours, days or weeks in advance. The earliest predictor of an attack may be recurrent chest pain (angina) that's triggered by exertion and relieved by rest. Angina is caused by temporary, insufficient blood flow to the heart. The medical term for insufficient blood flow to the heart is "cardiac ischemia."

Answer 4

Other people have answered the heart attack question. I want to answer the angina and unasked bits.

Angina is pain often caused by a blocked or partially blocked artery feeding the heart. It gets worse with exercise or strenuous activity. It may not cause permanent damage.

Any abominal pains or seeming indigestion can be confused with heart problems, for example I had chest pain for about 2 hours or so, probably NOT caused by heart problems. This was ascertained by examination in hospital.

The pain was moderate and very localized.

Another idea is that people sholdn't always wait for pain before investigating health. An example of this is anyone with any direct family e.g. father, mother, brother(s), sister(s) who have or have had heart disease or diabetes. A certain amount of medical investigation might then be approprite.

Other risk factors are age, maleness, (or post-menopausal status in women), smoking, obesity, drinking excessive alcohol, a sedentary life style, eating a lot of saturated fat, and high blood pressure and / or high blood cholesterol. There are other less well-known medical test which are helpful e.g. test for blood level of homocysteine.

Answer 5

symptoms of heart attack...........DEATH

severe pain in chest and a sharp shock of pain down the left arm.
pain down the left arm as the heart is just slightly more to the left side of the chest.

If someone has a heart attack sit them on the floor with their knees up to their chest and give them an aspirin to chew. Aspirin thins the blood and so helps the blood get through the blocked archery's better. then call 999 or 911 if you are us.

Answer 6

There are as many different syptoms as types of heart attack. I have now had four. The first, I thought I had indigestion, second, I had a tight pain across my chest, the third, I collapsed, the fourth was as the second. I have never had a pain down my left arm. Go and see a doctor. Amateur diagnosis could prove to be fatally wrong.

Answer 7

Known by it's full name, Angina Pectoris, is a chest pain that is severe and crushing, with a feeling behind the breastbone of great pressure and suffocation, due to an indequate blood supply to the heart. The standard treatment for it is nitroglycerin, which dilates the blood vessels, making more blood available to the heart.

However, if you are suffering from angina, you are going to need surgery in the near future to either unblock the clogged artery or a bypass. Either way, schedule an appointment for yourself, or whoever else is suffering from it, with a cardiologist so you/he/she can get the proper diagnosis.

Answer 8
