Dr. Liesa Harte answered

Specializes in Family Medicine

Heart attack : A heart attack is when the heart muscle does not have enough blood supply and all that includes. That causes a firm of muscle pain. Of course, you could have pain in any of your muscles besides your heart, too.

Dr Pizzo and another doctor agreed
