Warning Signs of a Heart Attack

A heart attack can strike suddenly, but often, the body gives warning signs. Recognizing these early symptoms can save lives.

🔴 Chest Discomfort – A feeling of pressure, tightness, or pain in the chest that lasts for a few minutes or comes and goes.

🔴 Pain in Other Areas – Discomfort may spread to the arms (especially the left), neck, jaw, back, or stomach.

🔴 Shortness of Breath – Feeling out of breath even when resting or doing light activities.

🔴 Cold Sweat – Unexpected sweating, similar to stress-induced or feverish sweating.

🔴 Nausea or Lightheadedness – Feeling dizzy, faint, or having an upset stomach can indicate a heart issue.

⚠️ Women’s Symptoms May Differ – Women often experience fatigue, nausea, or back pain instead of classic chest pain.

If you or someone else has these symptoms, call emergency services immediately. Every second counts! 🚑
