Heart Attack Symptoms
By cbassman • Jul 10th, 2008 • Category: family, healthRussell’s symptoms were nausea (dry heaves) and breaking out into a cold sweat.
I assumed, as most of us probably do, that a heart attack’s symptoms are chest pain, chest tightness, shooting pain or numbness down the left arm. When my husband began throwing up air, and broke out into a clammy sweat, I assumed food poisoning, or a stomach virus. He was wondering the same. I never dreamed he was in the process of having a heart attack right then. If I had, I could have called 911. It’s something that will be on my mind until I myself die. I wish I had known.
Please read here at the American Heart Association’s website about the first signs of heart attack. You don’t have to be old, or unhealthy, or have any previous signs or symptoms. Please read, and take care of yourself, and keep these in the back of your mind for the future.
