A heart attack can happen suddenly, and recognizing the signs early is important for getting help quickly, which can save lives. Here’s what to watch for: 

  • Chest Discomfort: Many people feel pressure, squeezing, or a full sensation in the center or left side of the chest. This discomfort may last for several minutes or come and go.
  • Pain in Other Areas: The pain can spread to other parts of the body, like one or both arms, the back, neck, jaw, or stomach.
  • Shortness of Breath: This may happen with or without chest discomfort and can feel like it’s hard to breathe or catch your breath.
  • Other Signs: Cold sweats, nausea, dizziness, rapid or irregular heartbeat, feeling unusually tired.

 

Why It’s Important to Recognize These Symptoms Early

Heart attacks don’t always start with severe symptoms. Sometimes, they begin with mild pain or discomfort that can easily be overlooked. Early recognition is key to minimizing heart damage. When blood flow to the heart is blocked, the heart muscle begins to lose oxygen and can become damaged quickly. The longer the delay in treatment, the more damage can occur.

Getting medical help right away can make a big difference. If any of these symptoms are experienced, don’t wait. Call emergency services immediately. The faster treatment begins, the better the chances of recovery and preventing lasting heart damage.

Remember, every minute counts during a heart attack. By recognizing these warning signs and acting quickly, lives can be saved.
