10 Warning Signs of A Heart Attack
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Warning Sign #1: Chest Pain
Chest pain is perhaps the most symbolic of all signs of a heart attack. That does not mean that it is always down to a heart attack, though, and there is a wide range of other conditions that can cause the symptom. Regardless, if you do feel a pain in this area and you don’t know why, you may need to treat it as an emergency.
The pain associated with a heart attack is often described as a burning or pinching sensation. Other people will describe it as a heavy pressure as though they have a heavy weight on top of them. If it is just a brief pain, it probably is not your heart, but if it lasts for a few minutes, then you likely need help.
