No one is the same..: Everyone is different. In general we tell people to be concerned if they are having chest pressure or feel short of breath, especially with exertion. Back pain can also be a symptom and some people just feel tired or feel nothing at all. Most important is that if you have symptoms that give you a 'sense of doom' you should call your doctor. If the feelings come and don't go away, you call 911.
