seven signs of heart attack?

Answer 1

* Chest discomfort—pressure, squeezing, fullness,
or pain in center of chest
* Discomfort in one or both arms, back, neck,
jaw, or stomach
* Shortness of breath, may come before or
with chest discomfort
* Breaking out in a cold sweat
* Nausea
* Light-headedness
*Irritability/uneasiness of patient's physical state, with ST elevation in EKG.

In diabetics these or most of the signs may be abscent only EKG will show acute changes or cardiac enzymes will be elevated.

Answer 2

You will not have all seven. You may only have 2 or 3 of them

1 sudden onset of weakness,nausea, and/or sweating without an obvious cause.
2 chest pain /discomfort/pressure /burning pain that is often but not allways crushing or squeezing and does not change with each breath. and it does not have to be over the heart it can be just the upper part of the chest.
3 pain /discomfort/pressure or burning pain in the lower jaw,arms back,abdomen,neck.
4 sudden arrhythmia with/or without syncope(fainting)
5 shortness of breath or dyspnea.
6 pulmonary edema
7 sudden death.

You may have any of these symptoms (except 6 AND 7) and they go away after 3 to 15 mins. GO TO THE HOSPITAL.
you may be having Angina Pectoris IT MAY BE A WARNING THAT YOU MAY HAVE A HEART ATTACK WITHIN MINS TO A FEW WEEKS.
It is far better to find you are having angina and get it treated then have a heart attack.
The first sign after angina may be sign 7 and you may be out of luck.
