[QUOTE="flyguy1, post: 1957739, member: 92595"] Up to 45% of heart attack are "silent", that is, they do not have the classic symptoms we are told to look for. "The sooner you get help for a heart attack, the better your chances for a complete recovery. Unfortunately, many people hesitate to get help, even if they suspect there’s something wrong. Doctors, however, overwhelmingly encourage people to get help if they suspect they’re experiencing early heart attack symptoms. Even if you’re wrong, going through some testing is better than suffering long-term heart damage or other health issues because you waited too long. Heart attack symptoms vary from person to person and even from one heart attack to another. The important thing is to trust yourself. You know your body better than anyone. If something feels wrong, get emergency care right away. According to the [URL='http://www.deputyheartattack.org/assets/pdf/EHAC-Brochure.pdf'][B]Society of Cardiovascular Patient Care[/B][/URL], early heart attack symptoms occur in 50 percent of all people who have heart attacks. If you’re aware of the early symptoms, you may be able get treatment quickly enough to prevent heart damage. Eighty-five percent of heart damage happens in the first two hours following a heart attack. Early symptoms of heart attack can include the following: [LIST] [*]mild pain or discomfort in your chest that may come and go, which is also called “stuttering” chest pain [*]pain in your shoulders, neck, and jaw [*]sweating [*]nausea or vomiting [*]lightheadedness or fainting [*]breathlessness [*][B]feeling of “impending doom”[/B] [*]severe anxiety or confusion [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
