	Anyone who's ever had a Heart Attack knows that after talking to others that not everyone has the same symptoms and signs of an impending Heart Attack. Some people, especially women seem to have either no symptoms, or what is called a 'Silent Heart Attack', which is what I had. Other women have very different symptoms, such as reflux, or even an asthma type symptom. Don't ever ignore these things, as the earlier you are seen by medical professionals you may be preventing a heart attack or severe damage to your heart!! Teri "If you are having any one of the symptoms described below that lasts for more than 5 minutes, SEEK EMERGENCY TREATMENT (CALL 9-1-1) WITHOUT DELAY. These symptoms could be the signs of a heart attack and immediate treatment is essential." VIEW IMAGE Symptoms of a heart attack include: Chest pain or discomfort in the center of the chest; a “squeezing,” “heaviness” or “crushing” feeling that lasts for more than a few minutes or goes away and comes back Pain or discomfort in other areas of the upper body including the arms, back, neck, jaw, or stomach Difficulty breathing, shortness of breath Sweating or “cold sweat” Fullness, indigestion, or choking feeling (may feel like “heartburn”) Nausea or vomiting Light-headedness Extreme weakness or anxiety Rapid or irregular heart beats Source: http://www.clevelandclinic.org/heartcenter/pub/guide/disease/cad/mi_symptoms.htm?index=10478 "Because he is he and I am I."......E.

	What type of symptoms did you have that either signaled you to go to the ER, 'you just knew that you were having a heart attack', or what symptoms preceded your visit to the Dr. or hospital where it was discovered that you'd had a heart attack, or a problem leading to one??

	Wow so many of these symptoms I have had along with the pain but can it go away for a while? or if it is really your heart will it not just stop and go away? I mean , it has returned but, im not sure its the same thing... the first pains you described was me exactly, center of chest, crushing , penatrating to back...feeling of disorentiation and weakness... now, with todays pain...i read where you said eye blurryness...earlier tonight i had to take my glasses off and keep rubbing my eyes because i felt so blurry...but that was a few hours before the pain hit... did the asprin really help or did it just go away ? i know you cant answer all these questions...its just so good to talk to others about it Thanks to everyone so much Currently on Asacol, Azathioprine , Remecade ,Ibrupropen (at time) and Dyazide But...laugh...its good medicine ~~~ Back to Top

	Hi Misterie, I'm glad you are back, but sorry to hear that you are still having problems! If you are having angina, it can come and go. Stable angina can happen while excercising, or moving about, while unstable angina may occur at rest or with less exertion and will usually last longer. If it is your heart, the problem will usually progress, not go away. Aspirin is given in a person who may be having a heart attack to try and help so that clots do not form. Misterie, I would definitely have your symptoms checked out ASAP!! You need to be seen and tested if your are having these types of symptoms! I would not hesitate to be seen by your Dr., or in an ER!! Hugs, Teri :) "Because he is he and I am I."......E. V.
