Answer 6

As someone who works for 10 cardiologists, I have to say EVERYONE is different.
Some signs:
dull OR sharp pain in chest
numbness and tingling in left arm
back or neck pain
headache
sweating
etc...
Some people have all plus some and others don't have any.
If you think you are having a heart attack, GO TO THE E.R.
Some people have them, and then the pain goes away, so they don't go to the DR or hospital. BAD IDEA! Some people have mild ones until the BIG ONE hits. You can have a routine test, EKG, where they will put electrodes (stickers) on your chest for less than 3minutes. No pain inflicted unless you have a hairy chest when they rip off the stickers (my favorite part when it comes to mean patients with attitudes) This will help them read the electrical impulses your heart is giving off along with showing your rhythm and rate. It can determine if there might be a problem. If they suspect something or need to rule out heart damage, they will do further tests like an echo cardiogram (ultrasound of your heart) and/or stress test (walk on a treadmill and take pictures of your heart). Needless to say, if you wait, whether you are or aren't having one, YOUR LIFE MAY DEPEND ON IT! Go to the E.R.

There are symptoms of AMI that typically occur in men, symptoms that typically occur in women and there is the silent MI, which is atypical in its presentation.

Typical Male Symptoms: Feelings of heaviness or tightness that progresses to severe gripping pain in the lower sternum. Pain that radiates down the left arm. The pain isn't relieved by rest or nytroglycerin. Then shortness of breath, sweating, anxiety.

Typical Female Symptoms: More likely to have upper abdominal pain, dyspnea, nausea and fatigue as well as chest pain. There may be shoulder or upper back pain.

Both Male & Female: Nausea and vomiting. Pulse becomes rapid and weak (thready). Blood pressure drops. Skin pallor and cyanosis.

Answer 8

I'm not medically qualified, but am writing from experience, as my husband sadly died of this in 1991. The symptoms are a grey pallour, intermittent dizziness, cold sweats, and shortness of breath. He also tired very easily, and the most menial tasks were an enormous effort for him.

My husband was also a diabetic, and apparently it is more common in diabetics than in non-diabetics.

Answer 9

With the newer types of insulin these days, diabetic diets aren't necessarily as restrictive as they used to be. Read here https://tr.im/dwJzV
As with any medicine or diet change, you should discuss it with your doctor. Fruits, both fresh and dried, have a natural sugar in them that will raise blood sugar levels, so be careful about eating too much. Not sure about the nuts. Moderation is always the key. I've been diabetic for 18 years and just recently changed insulin types. I love it because it gives me more freedom in when and what I eat.
