Heart Attack Warning Signs Thousands of Canadians die from heart attacks every year because they don't receive medical treatment quickly enough. Learn to recognize the signs of a heart attack so you can react quickly to save a life. It is important to understand that warning signs can vary from person to person and they may not always be sudden or severe. Although chest pain or discomfort is the most common symptom of a heart attack in both men and women, some people will not experience chest pain at all, while others will experience only mild chest pain or discomfort. Others may experience one symptom, while some experience a combination. Pain: o pain in the chest, neck, jaw, shoulder, arms or back o sensations of burning, squeezing, heaviness, tightness or pressure o sudden discomfort or pain that does not go away with rest o chest pain or discomfort that is brought on with exertion and goes away with rest (a symptom of angina which is a warning signal that you are at increased risk of a heart attack) o in women, pain may be more vague Shortness of breath Sweating Nausea Light-headedness Heart Disease Risk Factors Age o as you get older, your risk of heart disease increases o although strokes can occur at any age, most strokes occur in people over 65 Gender o men over 55, and postmenopausal women, are at greater risk of heart disease o until women reach menopause, they have a lower risk of stroke than men Ethnicity o risk factors such as diabetes and high blood pressure are higher among certain ethnic populations Family history o your risk of heart disease is increased if close family members developed heart disease before age 55 or, in the case of female relatives, before menopause o your risk of stroke is increased if close family members had a stroke before age 65 History of stroke or TIA o if you ve had a previous stroke or TIA (transient ischemic attack or a mini-stroke ), your risk of stroke increases Risk Factors You Can Address High blood pressure High blood cholesterol Diabetes Being overweight Excessive alcohol consumption Physical inactivity Smoking Stress All the above information was taken from the Heart and Stroke Foundation s website: http://www.heartandstroke.com/site/c.ikiqlcmwjte/b.3484021/k.7c85/heart_disease.htm 6
