1. Discomfort in the Chest Area

This is one of the most common symptoms of a heart attack. If you have a blockage in the heart valves or blood vessels, you may feel discomfort and pressure in the chest area.

This feeling can last for several minutes and may occur during rest or physical activity. It tends to be short-lived.

However, it’s essential to note that in some cases, this symptom may accompany a heart attack, particularly in women.

2. Pain Radiating to the Arm

Pain can extend to the arm and the left side of the body. This pain typically starts from the chest, as mentioned earlier, and spreads to the arm. However, in some cases, it might not originate from the heart and may be isolated to the arm.

3. Jaw or Throat Pain

If you feel pressure in the chest followed by pain in the jaw or throat, this may be a sign of a heart attack.

It’s important to note that jaw or throat pain without any other symptoms, such as chest pressure, is usually not a sign of a heart attack.
