Be Aware of Common Heart Attack Warning Signs

Symptoms of a heart attack can vary and can range from mild to severe. The most common symptoms of a heart attack include chest discomfort, shortness of breath, discomfort in other areas of the upper body, such as the arm, back or neck region, shortness of breath, nausea, cold sweat and rapid or irregular heartbeat.

If someone is having a heart attack, first call 911 then check to see if the person is breathing and has a pulse. If the person isn’t breathing or you don’t find a pulse, only then should you begin CPR. Don’t know how to do CPR? Now is the time to learn!
