Anyone experiencing these should call 911.

Answer 2

the symptoms of heart attack, also called cardiac arrest, are:

. A crushing, squeezing, or burning pain, pressure, or fullness in the center of the chest. The pain may radiate to the neck, one or both arms, the shoulders or the jaw.

. The chest discomfort lasts more than a few minutes or can diminish in intensity and return.

. Shortness of breath, dizziness, nausea or upset stomach, chills, sweating or weak/fast pulse

. Feeling of an irregular heart beat

. Cold and clammy skin, gray facial color

. Fainting or loss of consciousness

. Fatigue

if someone has most of these symptoms, 911 should be called immediately. be warned that some people have the condition called "silent ischemia", where they do not experience symptoms. but there are other ways to tell if a heart attack is under way.

. you chest pain medication in no longer working/responding. call your doctor almost immediately. this could mean a heart attack is near.

. Your angina ( chest pain ) attacks become more frequent, prolonged, and severe; as angina worsens, the risk of heart attack increases.

Answer 3

Chest discomfort. Most heart attacks involve discomfort in the center of the chest that lasts more than a few minutes, or that goes away and comes back. It can feel like uncomfortable pressure, squeezing, fullness or pain.
Discomfort in other areas of the upper body. Symptoms can include pain or discomfort in one or both arms, the back, neck, jaw or stomach.
Shortness of breath. May occur with or without chest discomfort.
Other signs: These may include breaking out in a cold sweat, nausea or lightheadedness
As with men, women's most common heart attack symptom is chest pain or discomfort. But women are somewhat more likely than men to experience some of the other common symptoms, particularly shortness of breath, nausea/vomiting, and back or jaw pain.

If you or someone you're with has chest discomfort, especially with one or more of the other signs, don't wait longer than a few minutes (no more than 5) before calling for help. Call 9-1-1... Get to a hospital right away.
