Heart Attacks

Symptoms of a Heart Attack

A heart attack often happens very suddenly, without much warning. The most common signs are:

  • a gripping or pressure-like pain that begins behind the breastbone, often spreading to the neck, jaw and down into the arms (it is not brought on by exertion or relieved by rest);
  • sweating;
  • weakness;
  • loss of consciousness; and
  • a weak pulse or one that is difficult to find.
