Each year heart attacks affect more than a million Americans. Myocardial infarctions are another name for a heart attack (MI). The terms "myo," "cardial," and "infarction" all relate to the death of tissue brought on by a lack of blood flow. Your heart muscle may suffer long-lasting effects from this tissue death.

Heart Attack Signs

Heart attack signs and symptoms include: 

• Pain, pressure, heaviness, tightness, or discomfort in the arm, chest, or area behind the breastbone 
• discomfort that spreads to your arm, back, jaw, or throat 
• Feelings of suffocation, bloating, or fullness (it may feel like heartburn) 
• sweating, nausea, vomiting, or lightheadedness 
• extreme weariness, anxiety, or shortness of breath 
• rapid or irregular pulse 
• The signs and symptoms of a heart attack can vary from one individual or attack to attack.

These signs and symptoms of a heart attack are more common in women:

1. unusual exhaustion 
2. breathing difficulty 
3. nausea or diarrhoea 
4. Unsteadiness or faintness 
5. discomfort in the stomach Indigestion could be the sensation. 
6. neck, shoulder, or upper back discomfort

Some heart attacks cause no symptoms at all (a "silent" myocardial infarction). Diabetes sufferers are more likely to experience this. 

   Angina 

Angina is not a disease or condition. It is a symptom that occasionally can indicate a heart attack. The symptoms could be brought on by routine tasks or exercise, but they would disappear after resting or taking nitroglycerin.
