What are the symptoms of a first heart attack?

Unique: Most of my patients say that they felt a heavy pressure on their chest that would not let go, difficulty breathing, feeling of impending doom, severe tiredness and weakness, with or without cold sweats. Diabetic patients have described a pressure in the epigastric area upper abdomen, with some heavyness kind of like a sudden bad indigestion. Sensation of pain is not as common as peoplethinkcall911.

Heart attack --: Heart attack is heart attack -- actually many people don't survive the first one. The spectrum of symptoms include: chest pain, chest pressure across the entire chest and tightness, shortness of breath, nausea and vomiting, cold sweat feeling like going out literally. If you have chest pain, don't try to figure things out, instead call 911 straightaway!
