Early Heart Attack Warning Signs
For half the people having symptoms of a heart attack, early treatment can prevent permanent damage to the heart. That's why it's important to recognize early warning signs and act by calling 9-1-1 immediately.
Early warning signs include:
- Chest discomfort, like pressure, squeezing, fullness or pain, in the center of the chest
- Chest discomfort that lasts more than a few minutes, or that goes away and comes back
- Cold sweat
- Lightheadedness
- Nausea
- Pain or discomfort in one or both arms, or the back, neck, jaw or stomach
- Shortness of breath with or without chest discomfort
To help save you or a loved one's life:
- Learn the early signs of a heart attack
- Call 9-1-1 immediately if you or others experience these signs or symptoms
- Learn hands-only CPR
- Make lifestyle modifications to reduce your risk for heart disease
