What are the early signs of a heart attack?

What should I do if I am experiencing early signs of a heart attack.. Left arm hurting. Chest pain?

  • My left arm has been hurting all day and now I am experiencing little pain in my chest. I just want to know of some home remedies to prevent the heart attack or is it Inevitible that it is going to happen

  • Answer:

    It is very unlikely that you would be having abrupt onset of some pain in your arm and now at your chest too, all day and this actually be unstable angina (pain coming from your heart due to heart disease). If you are concerned, then go to the ED and have it checked out. They will take it seriously no matter how unlikely it sounds. You should note that they will take measures to rule in or rule out an acutely presenting heart condition - and will treat a heart condition if it exists. If you rule out, they may or may not treat your arm pain and they may not provide you with a diagnosis. Many, many things can account for your symptoms other than a heart attack. Only a trained medical person who can take a full medical history, do a physical exam, and do diagnostic and lab work, would be able to tell what you need to know. If you do nothing else, then take a single, full strength aspirin (NOT ibuprofen or tylenol) daily. There are no reliable home remedies for a heart attack. Good luck.

No one is immune from any illness including heart disease. What you can do though is to minimise your risks. So it is actually all a matter of odds. And to logically work things out as in this case. Now for a start if you are young..an adolescent...your odds in having a heart attack are quite good ..excellent in fact as heart disease is the result of years upon years of lifestyle abuse....unless of course it is genetic. So if you had a close relative or many with heart disease at a young age..then you MAY (not sure) be a candidate. Now about your left arm and and chest pains. How long have you experienced these? And..did the pain go away and come back? And whilst you had this pain did you go about your usual tasks...after perhaps you took some painkillers? And what are your usual tasks....does it involve numerous vigorous activity? If you answered all of these in the positive then it would be virtually impossible for it to be a heart attack as it would have got WORSE resulting in your collapse. In any case it would be better for you to seek medical assistance in order to determine the cause of this pain. Perhaps it may be "referred pain" from your cervical region.

Call your doctor, or the Er, report your symptoms, & ask their advice. Consider it seriously.

This is not the time for home remedies. Tell whoever you are with to call 911. If you are alone, you call. Do not drive yourself to the hospital. Home remedies are for after you get back home. Then you: 1.Stop smoking. 2. Take medication to lower your blood pressure, including a statin drug to lower your cholesterol. 3. Eat a low fat, low salt diet with plenty of fruits and vegetables. 4. Exercise for 30 minutes or more, three times a week or more.

If You are experiencing these Symptoms, Then You should get Yourself to Your Local ER urgently. Call an ambulance and the paramedics will advise You as to what they believe is happening. But Ring Now and go to hospital now. If You don't, then You could be DEAD by the morning if You don't.

Go to a doctor.. Reduce metabolic demands through rest and relaxation. Consume small but frequent meals (4-6 daily) that are low in calories.

Just wait until you have a serious heart attack and die, than go to a doctor.
