How do I know if I'm having a heart attack?
The pain of a heart attack can feel like bad heartburn. You may also be having a heart attack if you:
* Feel a pressure or crushing pain in your chest, sometimes with sweating, dizziness, nausea or vomiting
* Feel pain that extends from your chest into the jaw, left arm or left shoulder
* Feel tightness in your chest
* Have shortness of breath for more than a couple of seconds
* Feel weak, lightheaded or faint
* Have sudden overwhelming fatigue
Don't ignore the pain or discomfort. If you think you are having heart problems or a heart attack, get help immediately. The sooner you get treatment, the greater the chance that the doctors can prevent further damage to the heart muscle.
