The signs of heart attack can be confused with other symptoms unrelated to heart attack.
Not always a heart attack is marked by acute pain in the chest.
It is observed that among people who go to the doctor with acute pain in the chest area, not all are victims of a heart attack. Among patients unable to feel a strong pain, heart attacks happen no less.
Pain in chest can be caused by such innocuous reasons as heartburn and more serious problems, such as aortic dissection. However, if you have any concerns about your condition, the best solution is to immediately contact a specialist.
“If you doubt whether your symptoms are a heart attack or not, immediately call an ambulance or go to the doctor,” suggest experts. Among the main signs of a heart attack, in addition to discomfort or pain in the chest, it may be noted abdominal pain, shortness of breath, feeling of lightness in the head, nausea and vomiting.
Immediately contact for help if your pain worsens during physical activity, if you suddenly take your breath away or you start to sweat intensely and gives the pain from the chest to the left arm or upper jaw.
