Very often, it is quite difficult to differentiate between a heart attack and heartburn. The common signs of a heart attack are tightness, pain, or discomfort in the chest. Sweating, nausea, and vomiting are accompanied by intense pressure in the chest. A radiating and intense pain in the chest extends from the chest to the left arm. Shortness of breath for more than a few minutes. If you have any of the above you must consult the doctor or go to the emergency room.
If you even think you are having a heart attack you must call for a cardiac care ambulance, and put under your tongue a Sorbitrate or chew an aspirin. If you are allergic to aspirin don’t take one. At the hospital care will include rapid thrombolysis, cardiac catheterization, and angioplasty. They will also administer intravenously clot-busting medications.
The risk factors for a heart attack include smoking, diabetes, high levels of cholesterol, hypertension, family history of heart diseases, atherosclerosis, lack of exercise, obesity, and fast foods.
