This pain may radiate to other parts of the body such as the left arm, neck, jaw, or back, and it often lasts longer than a few minutes or comes and goes. Shortness of breath can occur even at rest, caused by the heart’s inability to pump efficiently due to the blockage. Nausea, vomiting, and a cold sweat are also common and may mimic symptoms of indigestion, especially in women.
The individual may feel lightheaded or dizzy, which could indicate a drop in blood pressure or inadequate blood flow to the brain. A sense of impending doom or extreme anxiety is frequently reported just before or during the attack.
In some cases, especially among older adults or people with diabetes, the symptoms may be subtler, known as a “silent” heart attack.
Immediate medical attention is critical, as delays can lead to irreversible heart damage or death.
