Heart attack symptoms in men are most commonly recognized. These include:
-Chest pain or discomfort. This may be severe or not, and has been described in many ways including fullness or pressure, squeezing, or the common 'elephant on the chest' type pain.
-Problems breathing such as shortness of breath that can lead to dizzyness or lightheadedness
-Stomach issues including nausea and stomach pain
-Pain that radiates to one or both arms, or the jaw
-Sweating, even if it is freezing cold.
Not all people experiencing a heart attack experience the same symptoms! It is important to be aware that the 'elephant on the chest' pain doesn't happen to everyone. Early treatment is VERY important, and if there are any symptoms present that just 'don't make sense', particularly in someone who has heart problems or other medical conditions, it is better to be safe than sorry and get it checked out.
