Many presentations: Heart attack discomfort comes from deprivation of oxygen for several minutes to an area of heart muscle. If the representing pain is transient,it is called Angina and little or no damage is done to the heart . Discomfort of a heart attack can be feeling of upset stomach with nausea,pain down either arm or into jaw,pressure in chest/ back,etc depending on part of heart involved. See MD if worried.
