Do You Know?
Someone has a heart attack every 29 seconds and coronary heart
disease claims one life every minute in the United States.
Warning Signs of a Heart Attack:
You may experience any or all of these symptoms. Sometimes the
symptoms go away, then come back again.
 |
Uncomfortable pressure, fullness, squeezing, or pain in the center
of the chest lasting more than a few minutes
|
|
Pain spreading to the shoulders, neck, back or arms
|
|
Chest discomfort, lightheadedness, nausea, fainting, sweating, or
shortness of breath |
If you experience any of the symptoms for more than 15 minutes, get
help fast.
|
Do not delay. Call 911 or have someone drive you to the emergency
room, which ever is faster. |
|
Do not phone your doctor to make an appointment.
|
|
Do not try to drive yourself. |
|
Most of the damage occurring from a heart attack occurs within the
first six hours. The faster you get help, the greater the chance
of limited damage to your heart and a quick and complete recovery.
