Gastrointestinal issues including nausea and heartburn

 Experts believe gastrointestinal problems such as stomach pain, indigestion, heartburn and nausea can be an early sign of a heart attack. The stomach pain can arise in the middle of the upper abdomen and usually feels heavy rather than sharp or stabbing. Such pain could linger on for more than a few minutes.

From overexposure to heat to stress to eye, neck or back strain, a lot of factors can lead to dizziness or lightheadedness. However, feeling dizzy can also be an early warning sign of heart attack, especially in women. This symptom may also appear with cold sweats, chest tightness or shortness of breath and some people may even faint or lose consciousness, which is when one must call for medical assistance immediately.

Warning signs of a heart attack are not just limited to certain parts of the body rather can spread and radiate throughout the body.

A classic heart attack sign is pain that spreads to the arm, especially in the left side of the body. It usually starts from the chest and moves outward towards the arm and the jaw. Other pain areas include neck, back and the stomach.

In light of any one or more symptoms of heart attack, contact your nearest hospital asking for immediate medical attention.

In case a person suffers from a heart attack and finds it difficult to breathe, begin a cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) to maintain or restore the blood flow in the body. According to the experts at MayoClinic, CPR involves chest compressions (100 - 120 per minute).
