Personal Best Health Wellness - Heart Attack without Signs

It happens surprisingly often.

In fact, a study of 400,000 heart attack patients, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, found one-third arrived at the hospital with no chest pain. Consequently, these patients delayed getting care, were often misdiagnosed and were more likely to die.

The best safeguard — particularly if you have heart attack risk factors — is to learn the other symptoms associated with heart attack: shortness of breath, nausea, sweating, dizziness, rapid and/or irregular pulse.
