Heart Attack Warning Signs
Regional Medical Center of San Jose participates in the "Act in Time to Heart Attack Signs" program. What are the warning signs for a heart attack?
- Chest Discomfort
Uncomfortable pressure, squeezing, fullness or pain in the center of the chest that lasts more than a few minutes, or goes away and comes back. The discomfort can feel like uncomfortable pressure, squeezing, fullness, or pain. - Discomfort in Other Areas of the Upper Body
This may be felt in one or both arms, the back, neck, jaw or stomach. - Shortness of Breath
May often occur with or before chest discomfort. - Other Signs
May include breaking out in a cold sweat, nausea or light-headedness.
Fast Action Saves Lives
If you or someone you are with begins to have chest discomfort, especially with one or more of the other symptoms of a heart attack, call 9-1-1 right away. Don’t wait more than a few minutes – 5 minutes at most—to call 9-1-1. If you are having symptoms and cannot call 9-1-1, have someone else drive you to the hospital right away. Never drive yourself, unless you have absolutely no other choice.
