• Uncomfortable pressure, fullness, squeezing or pain in the center of the chest - lasting more than a few minutes.
• Pain may spread to the shoulders, neck or arms.
• Chest discomfort with lightheadedness, fainting, sweating, nausea or shortness of breath may also occur.
• Women are more likely to die of a heart attack than men. Partly because they tend to suffer milder symptoms -- shortness of breath and neck aches vs. the more familiar chest pain -- resulting in a delay getting to a hospital.

It is important to note that you may not have all these signs and that they sometimes subside and return. When one, or all occur, get help immediately. Call 9-1-1 and if possible get to our Heart Emergency Center.
