Gas pain vs. heart pain Gas that gathers in the stomach or left part of the colon can feel like heart-related pain. The following symptoms may suggest that chest pain is related to a heart attack: pain that resembles a strong pressure applied to the chest.

Most heart attacks involve discomfort in the center or left side of the chest. The discomfort usually lasts for more than a few minutes or goes away and comes back. It can feel like pressure, squeezing, fullness, or pain. It also can feel like heartburn or indigestion.

THe abdominal aorta is there & can sometimes develop an aneurysm, but usual in the elderly who have blocked arteries, etc. The most common symptoms of gas are belching, flatulence, abdominal bloating, and abdominal pain.

A heart attack is when blood flow to the heart is blocked, and sudden cardiac arrest is when the heart malfunctions and suddenly stops beating unexpectedly. A heart attack is a “circulation” problem and sudden cardiac arrest is an “electrical” problem.

A mini heart attack occurs when there is a temporary blockage in the coronary arteries. Just as with mini stroke symptoms, the symptoms experienced during a mini heart attack may be extremely short-lived and mild; thus, lacking the intensity typically seen with a classic heart attack.

A heart attack occurs when blood flow to the heart is blocked. Cardiac arrest occurs when the heart malfunctions and suddenly stops beating unexpectedly. A stroke occurs when the blood supply to part of your brain is interrupted or reduced, depriving brain tissue of oxygen and nutrients.

The pain of a heart attack differs from that of a strained chest muscle. A heart attack may cause a dull pain or an uncomfortable feeling of pressure in the chest. Usually, the pain begins in the center of the chest, and it may radiate outward to one or both arms, the back, neck, jaw, or stomach.

Takeaway. Panic and anxiety attacks are different, but they share some symptoms. Anxiety attacks often follow periods of prolonged worry. Panic attacks tend to occur suddenly, and the symptoms are often more intense.

Heart attack pain happens when one of the arteries supplying the heart becomes blocked. Angina is a similar chest pain caused when these arteries are narrowed by heart disease. Heartburn is a burning pain often felt in the upper belly or lower chest. It is caused by stomach acid going back up the food pipe.

A heart attack is when one of the coronary arteries becomes blocked. The heart muscle is robbed of its vital blood supply and, if left untreated, will begin to die because it is not getting enough oxygen. A cardiac arrest is when a person's heart stops pumping blood around their body and they stop breathing normally.

The signs of a person having a heart attack are chest pain, difficulty breathing, nausea, lightheadedness, rapid or irregular heartbeats, pressure in center of chest, or unusual fatigue for days.

Lesson Summary Mild heart attacks usually only affect a small portion of the heart and don't cause much, if any, permanent damage. On the other hand, massive heart attacks often affect much larger regions of the heart and cause more permanent damage.

A heart attack is a medical emergency. If someone appears to be having a heart attack, call 911 or your local medical emergency number. Heart failure(or congestive heart failure) — When a person's heart function becomes weaker, the heart can't pump enough blood to the body. This usually happens slowly over time.

One of the key distinctions between the two is that a heart attack often develops during physical exertion, whereas a panic attack can occur at rest.

The amount of arterial gas embolism that causes symptoms depends on location — 2 mL of air in the cerebral circulation can be fatal, while 0.5 mL of air into a coronary artery can cause cardiac arrest.

What's the difference between a heart attack and stroke? A heart attack occurs when blood flow to a part of the heart is blocked, usually by a blood clot. Without oxygenated blood, the heart muscle begins to die. A stroke is a brain attack, cutting off vital blood flow and oxygen to the brain.

Differentiating between panic and anxiety attacks Panic attacks usually occur without a trigger. Anxiety is a response to a perceived stressor or threat. Symptoms of a panic attack are intense and disruptive. They often involve a sense of “unreality” and detachment.
