The chest pain may be mild or severe. Some people don&#8217;t have any chest pain or pressure.<\/p>\n<p>Heart attack symptoms may include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Chest pain.<\/strong> It may feel like pressure, tightness, pain, squeezing or aching. The chest pain may come and go.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Upper body pain.<\/strong> Pain or discomfort spreads to the shoulder, arm, back, neck, jaw, teeth or sometimes the upper belly. Some people have upper body pain with no chest discomfort.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Shortness of breath.<\/strong> You may gasp for breath or try to take in deep breaths.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Anxiety.<\/strong> You may feel a sense of doom or feel as if you&#8217;re having a panic attack.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lightheadedness or sudden dizziness.<\/strong> You may feel dizzy or feel like you might pass out.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sweating.<\/strong> You may suddenly break into a sweat with cold, clammy skin.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Nausea and vomiting.<\/strong> You may feel sick to your stomach or throw up.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Heartburn or indigestion.<\/strong> Some people who are having a heart attack may feel like they have heartburn or an upset stomach.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Women tend to have more-vague heart attack symptoms, such as nausea or a brief or sharp pain felt in the neck, arm or back.<\/p>\n<p>Older adults and people with diabetes may have no or very mild symptoms of a heart attack. Never ignore heart attack symptoms, even if they don&#8217;t seem serious.<\/p>\n<p>Heart attack symptoms can vary widely. For instance, you may have only mild chest discomfort while someone else has severe chest pain.<\/p>\n<p>If you think that you&#8217;re having a heart attack, immediately call 911 or your local emergency number.<\/p>\n<p>If you don&#8217;t have access to emergency medical services, have someone drive you to the nearest hospital. Drive yourself only if there are absolutely no other options.<\/p>\n<p>Movies and TV often portray heart attacks as dramatic, chest-clutching events. But heart attacks may begin with subtle symptoms. The chest discomfort may not even be described as pain.<\/p>\n<p>Many people have warning symptoms that happen hours, days or weeks in advance. For example, chest pain or pressure that keeps happening and doesn&#8217;t go away with rest may be an early warning sign of a heart attack.<\/p>\n<p>Never ignore heart attack symptoms, even if they don&#8217;t seem serious.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Watch for these heart attack symptoms.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","tags":[1686,1685,1682,1684],"class_list":["post-50718","mayo","type-mayo","status-publish","hentry","tag-anatomical-structure","tag-condition","tag-person-group-concept","tag-theme-of-focus","content_type-articles"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
