Heart Health
There is a common misconception that when someone begins to have a heart attack, they immediately grab their arm or chest in pain. While pain in the chest, arm, shoulder, and neck are common, there can be other signs or symptoms of a heart attack, including:
|
• |
Trouble breathing |
• |
Nausea or stomachache |
• |
Feeling light-headed, dizzy, or unusually tired |
• |
Breaking out in a cold sweat |
• |
Pain in the upper abdomen (above the belly button) |
• |
Sudden jaw pain |
|
These symptoms can come suddenly or develop slowly over hours, days, or even weeks before the heart attack.
It is important to continue to educate yourself on ways to improve your heart health. The first step is seeing your Primary Care Provider for your annual physical.
Call 911 right away if you think you or a loved one may be having a heart attack.
