Discomfort in the center of the chest that lasts more than a few minutes, or goes away and
comes back, is a telltale sign of a heart attack.
Heart attack
warning signs
An umbrella term that encompasses
various conditions, cardiovascular
disease is a formidable
foe. According to the World
Health Organization, cardiovascular
diseases claim the lives of 17.7
million people across the globe every
year, accounting for 31 percent
of all deaths worldwide.
If cardiovascular disease statistics
are alarming, then it’s important
to note that many premature
deaths related to it can be prevented.
While the Organization notes that
four out of five cardiovascular disease
deaths are due to heart attacks
and strokes, men and women
who learn to recognize the warning
signs of heart attack may be able to
get help before things escalate. In
fact, the American Heart Association
notes that many heart attacks
begin slowly with mild pain or discomfort.
By paying attention to
their bodies and learning to recognize
these warning signs, men and
women may be able to get help before
heart attacks claim their lives:
Chest discomfort: Discomfort
in the center of the chest that lasts
more than a few minutes or goes
away and comes back is a telltale
sign of heart attack. The discomfort
may feel like pressure in the chest,
squeezing, fullness, or pain.
Discomfort in the upper body:
Discomfort in areas of the upper
body that are not the chest also may
be a warning sign of heart attack.
The American Heath Association
notes that such discomfort or pain
may occur in one or both arms, the
back, neck, jaw, or stomach.
Shortness of breath: Shortness
of breath may be an early warning
sign of heart problems. The Association
notes that this may or may not
be accompanied by discomfort in
the chest.
Additional signs: The Association
notes that some people suffering
from a heart attack may break
out in a cold sweat, experience nausea
or begin to feel lightheaded.
Symptoms of heart attack tend
to be different for men and women.
While the most common symptom
for both men and women is chest
pain or discomfort, women are more
likely than men to experience additional
symptoms. According to
the American Heart Association,
women are more likely than men to
experience shortness of breath, nausea
or vomiting, and pain in their
backs or jaws.
The American Hearth Association
urges fast action by anyone who
suspects they or a loved one are suffering
a heart attack. Acting quickly
can save lives and help men and
women avoid joining the nearly 18
million people who succumb to cardiovascular
disease each year.
