Heart attack symptoms

Heart attacks often start with severe chest pain, but not in every case. Women may have less obvious signs, so it’s important for both men and women to understand these possible symptoms, which may include:

  • Chest discomfort, pressure, or pain
  • Difficulty breathing, even when not active
  • Lightheadedness or loss of consciousness
  • New episodes of weakness or fatigue
  • Rapid or irregular heartbeat
  • Sudden arm pain (especially in the left arm), and/or pain in the jaw, neck, or back

Delaying care for a heart attack may lead to more serious health issues.

If you are experiencing any of these symptoms – especially in combination with nausea or vomiting – please visit the nearest emergency room immediately or call 911.
