Health Information

Symptoms

Patients who come to the emergency department with chest pain or other acute cardiac symptoms are immediately evaluated; if tests confirm that a heart attack is in progress, the patient is quickly moved to the Cardiac Catheterization Lab in our Heart and Vascular Center for an emergency angioplasty.

Heart attack symptoms include:

  • Pressure, burning, aching or tightness in the chest
  • Nausea
  • Pain that travels down one or both arms
  • Jaw pain
  • Fatigue, exhaustion
  • Anxiety
  • Chest pressure, squeezing or discomfort
  • Back pain
  • Shortness of breath
  • Feeling of fullness
  • Women sometimes experience indigestion, back pain and shortness of breath with or without chest pain

 

If you or someone you know is experiencing any of these symptoms, call 9-1-1 right away.
