Common Chelation Therapies > Heart Attack Symptoms

A heart attack occurs when blood flow in a coronary artery is inhibited or stopped completely. This can cause irreparable damage to the heart, and medical assistance is needed immediately after symptoms begin, to minimize the damage. There are no outward symptoms of heart disease, but a heart attack is often preceded by several phenomena.

Kinds of Heart Attack Symptoms

Pain in the chest and arms related to heart disease is called angina. The presence of angina is often a sign of a heart attack. The pain is often described as a feeling of pressure or squeezing in the chest. Some people describe the feeling as a fullness in the center of the chest. Pain spreading to the arms, neck and shoulders is also a sign of heart attack. This too is often characterized as a tightness or burning in these areas.

Anxiousness, nervousness and a feeling of imminent danger also often accompany a heart attack. The person suffering from the heart attack may appear pale and sweaty or clammy and may be unresponsive or incoherent. An increased heart rate or irregular heart beat may accompany all these symptoms.

Anyone feeling such symptoms should call 911 immediately. The longer the interval between the onset of a heart attack and the time a health professional attends to the patient, the more likely it is there will be serious, irreversible damage to the heart.
