Heart trouble? Here’s what to do.
Heart attacks are the
leading cause of death in the United States, with more than 600,000 deaths
annually from heart disease and more than 5 million visits to hospital emergency
rooms due to chest pain.
If you think you’re having a heart attack, don’t wait. Know the signs and
symptoms of heart trouble, and call 9-1-1, or proceed to the closest emergency
room:
- Chest discomfort, including uncomfortable pressure, squeezing, fullness or
pain. Most heart attacks involve persistent discomfort in the center of the
chest, or chest pain that goes away and comes back again.
- Pain or discomfort in the upper body area, including one or both arms, the
back, neck, jaw or stomach.
- Shortness of breath with or without chest discomfort.
- A cold sweat, nausea or lightheadedness
