Although heart attack symptoms vary from one person to another, according to the British Heart Foundation, here are the three most common signs of a heart attack:
Pain or discomfort in your chest that suddenly occurs and doesn’t go away.
Pain that may spread to your left or right arm, or to your neck, jaw, back or stomach. For some people the pain or tightness is severe, while other people just feel uncomfortable.
Feeling sick, sweaty, light-headed or short of breath.
