But, chest pain is key. Associated with this is numbness, tingling sensations into the left arm and teeth. There is often full body sweating and nausea.

Question 2

i think i might have heart attack!?

Accepted Answer

Call 911!!!: If you feel pressure-type chest pain, going to your shoulder or jaw, and have associated shortness of breath, these are classic signs.  Remember, only about 1/3 of heart attacks present with these classic signs. Some show up as nausea, vague discomfort, or no signs at all.  If you have any question, err on the side of caution and get to the er immediately.  Chew an adult Aspirin while waiting.

Question 3

signs  of an impending heart attack?

Accepted Answer

Angina at: Rest for starters, however, frequently there are no impending signs until the horse is out of the barn.  This is why asymptomatic screening for coronary calcium is vital in appropriate patients.

Question 4

what are the warning signs of a heart attack?

Accepted Answer

Heart attack: Sudden chest pain-often described as discomfort (tightness or pressure like) in upper chest associated with radiation to jaw or arm, with  sweating/shortness of breath/lightheadedness. Any or all of these features can indicate a heart attack.  This classic presentation, however, is only described in a third of cases.  Atypical chest pain/ or  no symproms occur in 2/3 patients.

Question 5

could you have a heart attack because of a heart attack?

Accepted Answer

No not really: A heart attack is a heart attack.

Question 6

how commom is the widow maker heart attack?

Accepted Answer

There are only: limited data available to answer your question. Some studies indicate about a 53% incidence of atherosclerotic involvement of the Left main or Left anterior descending arteries. If the patient is symptomatic and treated, the MI would be avoided. If not then a widow maker MI might occur. The former occurs much more frequently than the latter so I would say by my experience it is not common.

Question 7

is armpit pain a heart attack?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: Usually heart attack pain is felt in the left jaw, down the left arm, and/or across the left chest and may be accompanied by nausea, shortness of breath, dizziness, palpitations or passing out.  Sometimes it can be a vague sensation in the chest or like heartburn, and sometimes there's no pain at all.  Armpit pain would more likely be muscular or a swollen lymph node.  If in doubt, check it out!

Question 8

Accepted Answer

Depends: Good question! the presenting symptoms are similar but with careful history and lab tests,  it can be well differentiated.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Neck drainage sounds more like an infected cyst ?

Not especially: THe autoimmune disease attacking the thyroid is not directly associated with the heart. THe activated thyroid can cause the heart to beat very rapidly and that can be stressful and damage the heart. this is not common especially since the group that gets graves is young.
