Heart Attack:
Know the Signs
A heart attack occurs when blood flow to a part of the heart
is blocked – usually by a blood clot. If this clot cuts off the
blood flow completely, the part of the heart muscle supplied
by that artery begins to die.
Your heart is your body’s most important muscle. When
it’s in trouble, every second counts. Knowing the signs of a
heart attack can help you or a loved one get help as soon as
it’s needed.
According to the American Heart Association, typical signs
of a heart attack include:
• Chest discomfort – Most times this occurs in the center
of the chest and lasts more than a few minutes, or goes
away and comes back. It can feel like uncomfortable
pressure, squeezing, fullness, or pain.
• Discomfort in other areas of the upper body – This can
include pain or discomfort in one or both arms, the
back, neck, jaw, or stomach.
• Shortness of breath – This may be, but isn’t always,
accompanied by chest discomfort.
• Breaking out in a cold sweat, nausea or lightheadedness.
If you think you or someone you know may be having a
heart attack, call 911 as soon as possible and chew on a
325-mg aspirin tablet to prevent further blood clotting.
