Symptoms of a heart attack can include: -Discomfort, pressure, heaviness, or pain in the chest, arm, or below the breastbone. -Discomfort radiating to the back, jaw, throat, or arm. -Fullness, indigestion, or choking feeling (may feel like heartburn). -Sweating, nausea, vomiting, or dizziness. -Extreme weakness, anxiety, or shortness of breath. -Rapid or irregular heartbeats. -During a heart attack, symptoms typically last 30 minutes or longer and are not relieved by rest or oral medications. Initial symptoms may start as a mild discomfort that progresses to significant pain. Some people have a heart attack without having any symptoms, which is known as a "silent" myocardial infarction (MI). It occurs more often in people with diabetes.
