What Should You Do If You Notice These Symptoms?
A heart attack is a medical emergency. If you suspect that you or someone else is experiencing one:
Call emergency services immediately. In Pakistan, Rescue 1122 is available in many areas.
Do not drive yourself to the hospital. An ambulance team can begin emergency care and arrange appropriate treatment.
Stop physical activity and rest while waiting for help.
Follow the emergency dispatcher’s instructions. Do not delay calling to try home remedies or wait for symptoms to become severe.
Do not take aspirin unless emergency services or a qualified healthcare professional advises it, because it may be unsafefor some people.
Symptoms may be mild, severe, intermittent, or unusual. You do not need to experience all eight symptoms to have a heart attack.
Final Thoughts
Knowing the warning signs of a heart attack can help you respond quickly when every minute matters. Chest pressure, unexplained breathlessness, pain spreading to the arm or jaw, cold sweating, nausea, unusual fatigue, dizziness, and upper abdominal discomfort can all be important warning signs.
