Heart Attack Warning Signs

The information on warning signs of heart attack given has been taken from literature and intended for general use only.

1. Sweating
   
2. Shortness of breath
   
3. Nausea or vomiting
   
4. Dizziness
   
5. Crushing or squeezing chest pain radiating to the arm, neck or jaw
   
6. Irregular and/or rapid pulse

Call emergency services immediately if the chest pain increases in intensity, or with any of the other symptoms. Some of these signs necessarily do not indicate the heart disease. They may be due reasons other than cancer.

If you have a heart attack and you are alone, you should know what to do and how to survive a heart attack in such a situation. Note that you have only 10 seconds to act, so you should be fast. Do the following:

1. Keep calm, do not panic.
