It's good to know the symptoms of a heart attack so that we can know if we're having one and we can also help others who may not know.
A well-known symptom is pain on the left arm. However, there can
also be intense pain on the chin or jaw as well as profuse sweating and feelings of nausea.
Sometimes there may be NO pain during a heart attack and many who had such a heart attack didn't wake up. It's usually the norm to have chest pains.
Once we recognise the symptoms of a heart attack we should
immediately place 2 crystal aspirins under the tongue where they will dissolve and we can swallw them with some water. These crystal aspirins work faster than the tablets so it's advisable to keep them handy.
After that, we should inform a family member or friend to get us to the hospital. Meanwhile we should NOT lie down but sit up and wait for help to arrive.
It's good to know that we can do something to help ourselves in such situations.
