Answer 1

I'm assuming you're female, since you referred to your breast. Women have a different variety of warning signs of heart attack; here are some of the signs:

The most common symptom of a heart attack, heart attack victims may experience a diversity of symptoms that include:

pain, fullness, and/or squeezing sensation of the chest;
jaw pain, toothache, headache;
shortness of breath;
nausea, vomiting, and/or general epigastric (upper middle abdomen) discomfort;
sweating;
heartburn and/or indigestion;
arm pain (more commonly the left arm, but may be either arm);
upper back pain;
general malaise (vague feeling of illness); and
no symptoms (approximately one quarter of all heart attacks are silent, without chest pain or new symptoms and silent heart attacks are especially common among patients with diabetes mellitus).

Answer 3

Usually cold sweating/clammyness, shortness of breath, numbness on th eleft side of your body, loss of consciousness... the best thing I can tell you if you're concerned is to see your doctor. Also, Google "heart attack symptoms" and see what you get there. Oh, and you can take Aspirin if you think you are having a heart attack. Try Bayer Aspirin.

Take care.

Answer 4

Numbness on either side of your body that does not go away
Shortness of breath for no reason what so ever
Persisting, for no reason, excruciating BAD pain on a side of your chest
