Heart Attack Symptoms

Typical heart attack symptoms

Chest discomfort or pain -This discomfort or pain can feel like a tight ache, pressure, fullness or squeezing in the center of your chest lasting more than a few minutes. This discomfort may come and go.
Upper body pain -Pain or discomfort may spread beyond your chest to your shoulders, arms, back, neck, teeth or jaw. You may have upper body pain with no chest discomfort.
Stomach pain- Pain may extend downward into your abdominal area and may feel like heartburn.
Shortness of breath- You may pant for breath or try to take in deep breaths. This often occurs before you develop chest discomfort.
Anxiety -You may feel a sense of doom or feel as if you're having a panic attack for no apparent reason.
Lightheadedness -You may feel dizzy or feel like you might pass out.
Sweating -You may suddenly break into a sweat with cold, clammy skin.
Nausea and vomiting -You may feel sick to your stomach or vomit.
