Warning Signs of a Heart Attack

Chest pain: This is the most common symptom of a heart attack. It may feel like pressure, tightness, or a squeezing sensation in the center of the chest. This may last for a few minutes or come and go.
Upper Body Discomfort: You may also experience pain or discomfort in one or both arms. It may also happen in the back, neck, jaw, or stomach.
Shortness of Breath: Feeling breathless or having difficulty breathing, often accompanied by chest pain.
Nausea and Dizziness: Some individuals may also experience feelings of nausea, lightheadedness, or sudden dizziness.
Cold Sweats: Unexplained sweating, often described as cold and clammy, can be a warning sign of a heart attack.
Fatigue: Unusual and extreme tiredness, even with minimal physical exertion, may indicate an underlying heart problem.

Potential Medical Treatments

Emergency Medical Care: If you or someone around you experiences the warning signs of a heart attack, it is crucial to call emergency services immediately (such as 911) for prompt medical attention.
Medications: Upon arrival at the hospital, healthcare professionals may administer medications such as aspirin, nitroglycerin, or clot busting drugs to help restore blood flow to the heart.
Angioplasty and Stenting: This procedure involves the Cardiac Cath Lab inserting a catheter with a balloon into the blocked artery to widen it and placing a stent to keep it open, allowing improved blood flow.
Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG): In especially severe cases, bypass surgery may be recommended to create new pathways for blood to flow around blocked or narrowed arteries.
Cardiac Rehabilitation: Following treatment, a comprehensive rehabilitation program may be prescribed to help individuals recover, manage risk factors, and adopt a heart-healthy lifestyle.
