Surviving a Heart Attack

In men, the symptoms are a pain in the chest, neck or left arm and may include nausea. Women are more likely to have shortness of breath, fatigue, sweating, racing heart and a burning sensation in the stomach.

Call 911 for an ambulance. Don’t be embarrassed if it turns out to be something minor. Chew two full strength aspirin. Tell ambulance and hospital staff that you think you are having a heart attack. Initial tests may show no evidence of a heart attack but hours later tests may reveal a minor heart attack occurred.
