A heart attack is the sudden loss of blood flow to the heart muscle due to the blockage of a hear artery.
Recognizing the symptoms and knowing what to do are key to minimizing the affects of an attack.
The most common and easily recognized symptoms are…
Chest discomfort (pressure, squeezing, fullness, or pain)
Discomfort in other areas of the upper body (neck, arm, jaw)
Shortness of breath
Sweating
Nausea
Lightheadedness
When a heart attach happens, the blocked artery needs to be opened as quickly as possible to allow blood to flow again. Recognizing the symptoms and acting quickly are vital! If you’re unsure of whether it’s a heart attack or not, take action anyway. It’s best to err on the side of safety!
