Warning Signs of a Heart Attack...

Signs and Symptoms of a Heart Attack are as follows:

  • Chest Discomfort - Most Heart attacks involve discomfort in the center of the chest that lasts more than a few minutes, or that goes away and comes back. It can feel like uncomfortable pressure, squeezing, fullness or pain
  • Discomfort in other areas of the upper body. Symptoms can include pain or discomfort in one or both arms, the back, neck, jaw or stomach
  • Shortness of breath. Most occur with or without chest discomfort
  • Other signs: these may include breaking out in a cold sweat, nausea or lightheadedness
With women these additional signs include extreme fatigue, back pain, upper abdominal pain, persistent heartburn, and nausea. Several predisposing factors include smoking, obesity, and females over 40 years of age, hypertension, hyper-cholesterol, and family history of cardiac disease.

What can you do to prevent ACS?

  • Eat low-fat foods - Ask your caregiver for information about a health heart diet
  • Exercise regularly
  • Lose Weight
  • Stop Smoking
  • Talk to your doctor about taking medicine for high cholesterol. Diet and exercise may not lower your cholesterol enough. Cholesterol medicine may help prevent further cholesterol build up in the arteries
  • Treat health problems such as high blood pressure and diabetes
  • Take your medicines as directed by your doctor
If you experienced any signs or symptoms of Acute Coronary Syndrome, call 911 right away or go to the nearest Emergency Room.
