Heart Attack Symptoms

heart attack picture

The SYMPTOMS of a HEART ATTACK are:

  • Central crushing chest pain.

  • Sweating.

  • Nausea and/or vomiting.

  • Dizziness.

  • Cold, clammy feet and hands.

  • Palpitations.

If you are having these symptoms or see a friend or loved one in similar distress you need to get to a healthcare facility immediately.

Persons with long standing diabetes may not have any of the symptoms described above. The reason being that high blood sugar over a long period of time destroys nerves. You therefore may not feel the chest pain or have any of the other symptoms. Persons with this type of heart attack will usually be advanced in age and have problems with feeling in their feet and fingers - from nerve destruction. The most common complaint in these persons is loss of appetite, indigestion, and malaise (feeling blah).
