Heart Attacks

 

Heart Attacks:

    The American Heart association says that these are the usual warnings of heart attack, although symptoms vary 

• Prolonged, oppressive pain or unusual discomfort in the center of the chest, behind the chest bone. Pain may radiate to shoulder, arm, neck or jaw.
• The pain or discomfort is often accompanied by sweating, nausea, vomiting and shortness of breath may also occur.
• Sometime these symptoms subside and then return.

Minutes count when heart attack strikes. ACT PROMPTLY. Call a doctor and carefully describe the symptoms, if no doctor is immediately available, shift the patient to a hospital emergency at once.
