The heart attack causes a variety of symptoms and they may not be felt as pain. Common symptoms may include:
Symptoms
of a heart attack can vary for different people. Some people suffer
from severe pain, some show no signs and few may have a sudden cardiac
arrest. However, the more the symptoms, the more likely you are having a
heart attack.
Symptoms
may occur at rest or exertion. Exertional symptoms which last less than
twenty minutes are more likely to be angina, which is cardiac pain
arising due to blockages in arteries but is of a less serious nature
than a heart attack.
If
you are experiencing resting symptoms, it is advisable to visit the
emergency room rather than the consulting clinic, to ensure that you
receive prompt care from our highly trained team.
REMEMBER! Time is of essence; for a heart attack patient, every minute counts.
