Heart Health Fact #3
Sadly, only 27% of people can identify all the major symptoms of a heart attack and know to call 911 immediately when they occur. Immediate action saves lives! According to the CDC, the major signs of a heart attack are:
Chest pain or discomfort.
Upper body pain or discomfort in the arms, back, neck, jaw, or upper stomach.
Shortness of breath.
Nausea, lightheadedness, or cold sweats.
