Heart Attack Warning Signs

Watertown Emergency Department Exterior

Pay attention to your body and call 9-1-1 or have someone take you to the Emergency Department immediately if you experience any of these heart attack warning signs:

  • Chest discomfort. Most heart attacks involve discomfort in the center of the chest that lasts more than a few minutes, or that goes away and comes back. It can feel like uncomfortable pressure, squeezing, fullness or pain.
  • Discomfort in other areas of the upper body. Symptoms can include pain or discomfort in one or both arms, the back, neck, jaw or stomach.
  • Shortness of breath. This may happen with or without chest discomfort.
  • Other heart attack signs. These may include cold sweat, nausea, lightheadedness, palpitations, paleness, weakness/fatigue, or dizziness.
