Heart attack symptoms? hmm...rather vague here. but it could also be that the stresses in your life are making feel anxious? Anxiety and/or panic attacks frequently present as somewhat similar to having a heart attack. In fact, up to 30% of patients who complained of having heart attack symptoms actually suffer from anxiety disorders instead.\n\nTo have peace of mind, do consult your local doctor. He/she will be best positioned to advise you :)

Yes, do go to the emergency room if you can drive, or have someone drive you.  Otherwise call 911.  I had a silent heart attack in my 30's, so minor pain could indicate one too.  At the hospital a blood test will reveal certain elevated enzymes if you're having a heart attack.  Don't take any chances.  I felt silly calling 911, but otherwise would have died, because I had to be defibrillated.  Better safe than sorry, so please go!

it's possible, especially if you've injured your back before, or have a weak back.  the jerking and contracting of the muscles all over your body when you vomit could trigger it.

My panic attacks are similar to a heart attack - except for the pain in the heart. I struggle to breathe, collapse and break out in sweat and have heart palpitations but no heart pain. Not fun at all. Deep breaths, try stay calm and you should be OK. Hope you don't get another attack!

heave? There are multiple different kinds of abnormal heart sounds. I have taken numerous heart classes and have never heard of that one. "heave" means vomit, to undergo retching or vomiting..that term has nothing to do with the heart.

I am sorry for your loss.  47 yo is very young, therefore you musy be young and the loss of a parent so young is even harder on the survivors.\n \nWhen a person has a heart attack the heart muscle is lacking the oxygen it needs because of blockage in the cornary (heart) ateries that feed the heart muscle.  If it is a long time before the mucscle gets oxygen that term is ischemia.  Often times the muscle dies from this lack of oxygen, and scar tissue replaces the healthy muscle tissue.  Scar tissue doesn't work as well as the muscle so it makes the heart work inefficiently.  Often times the heart cannot keep up with the amount of blood flowing in and out of it from the lungs and the blood backs up and causes an problem thats call congestive heart failure.  Your mom was regulated in the hospital with meds, probably diet and close observation.  The fact that she also had pluerisy which is an infection or irritation in the slippery membrane that surrounds the outside of the lungs allowing them the move freely in your chest cavity was probably not a cause of death as you found out later.  \nPersons with severe ischemia occassionally do ok if they are closely monitoring their meds, diet, (sodium intake can cause an excessive build up of fluids in the body, making the damaged heart have to work harder).  Since no autopsy was performed, the physicains knew what he hearts base line abilities were when she went home, and by knowing how severely her damage was they are able to presume that her heart disease was probably the cause of her death.  Her primary MD is usually the one to sign the death certificate, so if you want to know where they got the info to determine her exact cause of death, put a call into them and ask.\nI hope that you can find closure on this.  As long as it plagues you, you will have a hard time going through the grief process.  Contact Hospice if you are having a difficult time accepting her death.  They are experts at helping people cope with their losses.\nGod Bless you and your family during this difficult time.

I don't need to tell you that his symptoms and his family history means that a heart attack MUST be ruled out. I guarentee that if he goes to a hospital they will take him as serious as a train wreck. You need to push, drag, or get his buddies to carry him to the ER. If he has had a heart attack, he may live through it but maybe not the next one, I can't tell you enough how I would like to drag him myself to the hospital. He needs help now!!

One symptom of a heart attack is that you can experience jaw pain which i suppose could go up to your teeth.  Considering your dad has a history of heart problems, he should probably get it checked out.  Best of luck!

Let me assure you, as a physician, that your own physician would be overjoyed to hear from you with regard to this question.  He or she would be less overjoyed to know you are seeking out advice over the internet, because the answer depends on many details of your medical history and not just the fact that you've had a heart attack.

What do you want to know about heart attack. It kills! Being over weight can cause heart problems as well as smoking and many other things. A simple search on the web will give you all the info you need.\n\n\ndp

There is a lot of misinformation here.  I'm an EMT/Paramedic in an ER and I've personally treated many, many heart attacks as well as other cardiac problems.\n\nFirst of all, there is no "guarantee" that you would experience left arm pain, pressure in the chest, difficulty breathing, or even chest pain when you have a heart attack.  These are some of the "textbook" symptoms, but not everyone will experience the same signs and symptoms.  In fact, women tend to have very atypical symptoms.  Many people suffer "silent" heart attacks, where no significant symptoms are present.\n\nSecond, when you have a heart attack, that does not mean that your heart has stopped beating (cardiac arrest).  In most heart attacks, cardiac arrest does NOT occur.  A heart attack simply means that a part of your heart tissue is experiencing damage, often due to a blockage of one of the coronary arteries that provides blood (and oxygen) to the tissue.  The earlier it is detected and treated, the more favorable the outcome.  \n\nIf you think you have experienced anything that could be cardiac, I would recommend that you see your physician ASAP.  They will probably perform an EKG (electrocardiogram) to look for abnormalities in your rhythm that may be indicative of a cardiac issue, and they will probably test certain enzyme levels in your blood (CKMB and troponin) which can also indicate a cardiac event.\n\nHowever, I would be very cautious of trying to get serious medical advice here.  I've seen a lot of poor advice and misinformation given in this category (and in this thread, for that matter).

You'll feel better if you do throw it up.  Drink water with electrolytes (i.e. vitamin water, smart water, etc) to rehydrate.  Have tums and crackers to calm your stomach.\n\nBut most importantly, if you are still experiencing vomiting and/or diarrhea problems after 24 hours, GO TO THE HOSPITAL.  Losing fluids quickly can be very serious, at times fatal!\n\nHope you feel better soon.

When I have an anxiety attack, I feel like my heart is going to pulse right out of my chest, I feel like I can't get enough air, I start to sweat, I can't focus on anything (like total meltdown), and I feel like I'm being closed in.  I feel like I'm going to puke, and I feel like my stomach is on fire.  That's what I feel.\n\nThe clinical definition of a panic attack is:\n\nA panic attack is a severe attack of anxiety and fear which occurs suddenly, often without warning, and for no apparent reason. Various other symptoms then occur during a panic attack. These include one or more of the following:\n\nPalpitations or a thumping heart. \nSweating and trembling. \nHot flushes or chills. \nFeeling short of breath, sometimes with choking sensations. \nChest pains. \nFeeling sick. \nFeeling dizzy, or faint. \nFear of dying or going crazy. \nNumbness, or pins and needles. \nFeelings of unreality, or being detached from yourself.\nThe physical symptoms that occur with panic attacks do not mean there is a physical problem with the heart, chest, etc. The symptoms mainly occur because of an 'overdrive' of nervous impulses from the brain to various parts of the body during a panic attack.\n\nDuring a panic attack you tend to over-breathe (hyperventilate). If you over-breathe you 'blow out' too much carbon dioxide which changes the acidity in the blood. This can then cause more symptoms such as confusion and cramps, and make palpitations, dizziness, and pins and needles worse. This can make the attack seem even more frightening, and make you over-breathe even more, and so on.\n\nA panic attack usually lasts 5-10 minutes, but sometimes they come in 'waves' for up to two hours.\n\nWho gets panic attacks? \nAt least 1 in 10 people have occasional panic attacks. The tend to occur most in young adults. Twice as many women than men have panic attacks. Anyone can have a panic attack, but they also tend to run in some families.\n\nWhat causes panic attacks? \nPanic attacks usually occur for no apparent reason. The cause is not clear. Stressful life events such as a bereavement may sometimes trigger a panic attack.\n\nDealing with a panic attack\n\nTo ease a panic attack, or to prevent one from getting worse:\n\nbreathe as slowly and as deeply as you can. Concentrate on breathing. \nbreathe into a paper bag. By doing this you re-breathe your own carbon dioxide. This helps to correct the blood acid level that had been upset by over-breathing which makes symptoms worse (described above).\nWhat is the treatment for a panic attack?\n\nNo regular treatment is needed if you have just an occasional panic attack. You may find it helpful to:\n\nunderstand about panic attacks, and the cause of the symptoms. \nknow that any physical symptoms which occur do not mean that you have a serious disease. For example, some people find it helpful to know that the palpitations or chest pains they had during a panic attack were not due to a heart or chest problem. \nknow how to deal with a panic attack (see above).\nIf you have frequent or recurring panic attacks, this is called panic disorder. Treatment to prevent panic attacks is an option if you develop panic disorder. See a separate leaflet called 'Panic Disorder'.

It is an illness, eating disorder. Your brain tells you to keep eating,all the time.You eat till you vomit & eat some more. Big weight gain, strain on heart. Strokes can also be a problem.
