As a medical professional, I can tell you that the experience of a heart attack can vary greatly from person to person. Some individuals may describe the pain as a feeling of intense pressure, squeezing, or fullness in the chest, which can radiate to other areas such as the arms, back, neck, jaw, or stomach. The pain is often described as different from other types of pain one might experience, and it can last for more than a few minutes, or it can come and go over a period of time. It's important to note that not everyone with a heart attack experiences severe pain; some people may have only mild discomfort or even no chest pain at all. Other symptoms can include shortness of breath, which may or may not be accompanied by chest discomfort, as well as breaking out in a cold sweat, nausea, or feeling lightheaded. These symptoms can be a sign that the heart muscle is not receiving enough oxygen-rich blood, which is a medical emergency requiring immediate attention. read more >>
