Heart Attack Early Diagnosis and Treatment Can Save Your Life

“Chest pain” might be a warning sign of a heart attack. Not all heart problems come with clear warning signs. Chest pain might happen during daily activities or exercise. Some people may feel tightness, pain, or aching sensation in their chest that may spread to their neck, jaw, or shoulder. Sweating and irregular heart beat might also be signs of a heart attack.
