A heart attack is when blood flow to a part of the heart is blocked, preventing enough oxygen from getting to the heart. The heart muscle dies or becomes permanently damaged.
Detecting Heart attack:
Many of the symptoms of heart attack can be brought on by digestive disturbances or other less serious conditions. But only sophisticated medical tests can determine for sure if you're having a heart attack. Heart attacks may vary from person to person, and from heart attack to heart attack. Women, for example, may experience "atypical' symptoms such as pain between the shoulder blades rather than crushing chest pain.
Dizziness can be an early symptom of heart attack
Cardiac chest pain is often vague, or dull, and may be described as a pressure or band-like sensation, squeezing, heaviness, or other discomfort.
- Pressure, fullness, squeezing or pain in the center of the chest.
- Pain spreading to the shoulders, neck or arms.
- Severe pain, sudden weakness, dizziness, fainting, sweating, nausea or shortness of breath.
Heart attacks can occur without any warning symptoms. These are called silent heart attacks. Some heart attacks may be associated with "atypical' symptoms, symptoms such as heartburn, nausea, or sudden light-headedness and sweating. These are more common in women, diabetics, and people older than 65.
