As a Cath Tech I approve this message
Zickezacke
This list is useless. symptoms are far to insignificant for diagnosis. Which is why they are not trained in first aid courses.
vahnn
According to this I've had like 30,000 heart attacks in the last 4 years.
dextarrogue
Scariest thing that's ever happened to me. Thankfully a stent fixed me.ive changed my diet and exercise to never get one again.
MorallyCasual
I minimize my symptoms becaue doctors have been doing that to me for years. now I second guess myself
TheLookAndFeelMUSIC
Yeh, this isn't going to help anyone.
BusterH
When my ulcerative colitis flares up I have all the symptoms on these
hotdudecurator
As a doctor, don’t just memorize this, go to the ER if you’re concerned. I had a lady with “an impending sense of doom” as her only symptom
ThatWillBuffOut
I'm not sure "I have all these symptoms, lol" is quite the flex you think it is. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
TheLookAndFeelMUSIC
I highly doubt they mean it as a flex.
LeftRightThere
I get worried when I go too hard at the gym and I feel like passing t and vomiting. I immediately check my pulse.
LateralMoves
According to these symptoms I might be having a heart attack nearly every single day
Holinyx05
LOL I've been having those symptoms since like 2007.
TheVampireDante
Hmm, pretty sure I've been having a continous heart attack for the last 20 years according to this...
DontYuckMyYum
I've had all of these the past 4 years. 22 trips to the er and to a cardiologist for every test they have. Drained my savings told me...
DontYuckMyYum
There's nothing wrong with my heart. Still no clue what's causing symptoms.
ChefBrooke7029
I had a silent lady heart attack last summer at home. I haven't had a single test. Thanks insurance
Guerrerense
I had covid in January of this year and have had lingering chest pain and shortness of breath since then. It’s goddamn terrifying. (1)
Guerrerense
So goddamn worried that it kept lingering so I went to the ER and they ran tests and X-rays and it all came out good. (2)
iamoverrated
Ditto dude. It sucked, I thought I was dying... turns out I had heartburn. EKG and X-Rays came back fine.
komododave
Same here. 3 times. Still terrified
eldritchscreeching
Aspirin is the best first aid for heart attacks. Aspirin is a cox2 inhibitor whos primary use is as a non-steroidal anti inflammatory >

I have pain in my left shoulder every single evening at the same time. The consistency is the only thing that keeps me from getting too worr

Also, diabetics and women may have no symptoms at all. Silent MI is a thing.
Demmayyy
RN here. Had discharge orders for a pt in for COPD exacerbation. About to leave and she says she’s having a bit of indigestion, belching1/2
Demmayyy
a lot, but says it’s happened before, get order/give 500mg TUMS, wheel her out, discharged. Coded in parking lot. STEMI.
MaladaptedMedic
Fuuuuuuck, that’s rough. You couldn’t have known without running a 12-lead. And why would you? It wouldn’t be indicated. :/
Flustercuck
So the first image says jaw pain for men but then the 3rd image says it's a difference between the two and only women.
Salzab
And one says nausea on the womens side while another only has it on the mens side. So yeah these are a bit varying :S
ThanosTheGreat
What about the smell of burning toast? Or is that a joke?
ThatWillBuffOut
That's a stroke. Call a bondulance.
fortfantastic
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pUOG2g4hj8s it was seizures
TakeMeToFrontPageAndBackFiveTimesADay
That’s supposed to be a stroke
ThanosTheGreat
Oh right.
Gorapora
Heart attack symptoms in women: literally anything. Could be something you ate, dehydration, a strained muscle... or a fuckin' heart attack.
Rhodabike
Yes, that's why women are more likely to die of a first heart attack than men are.
Blue4Five
I honestly thought I may have had one, or close to one, a few weeks ago. Upper left chest pain (heart area), very very minor radiating to
Blue4Five
the left arm one time, to the jaw the next day - brief and minor. Had a heart stress test shortly there-after, all good.
EvilAbedsBoneSaw
There's a condition called stable angina. It's basically intermittent heart pain but w/o obvious signs of damage. Still not good tho.
smileyf4c3
Look up tietze syndrome, just found out about it last night.
mohammadbinsalmon
could just be anxiety. or literally nothing, lol. these infographics are honestly kinda terrible
skarbux
Too bad I have GAD and experience all of these symptoms all day. I might have been having a heart attack the last 20 years
CarBOM
Same, friend, same. Not as bad on meds, but off meds I thought I was dying every day.
krisiteenie56
Yea I was on meds but stopped them earlier this year. Last week I had PA and now I'm lingering w/symptoms. Think I'll get back on them.
krisiteenie56
I have GAD as well & I'm the same. I've been having aches the last week and keep considering going to ER for heart check. I'm prob fine tbh
skarbux
I've done it all when it comes to testing. mental health flips medicine upside down since we go in hoping there is a physical problem.
Mios2822
Interesting point
krisiteenie56
Yea I ended up going. Need to get back on the meds.
sureasyourebornyourenevergoingtoseenounicorn
The problem with this list is most people have some of these symptoms everyday. Can we get a check engine light so we know when it’s serious

Right?!
explohd
I've had a heart attack so i can tell you the jaw pain is towards the back and is on both sides. The chest pain and tightness is... 1/2
explohd
like having a severe asthma attack.

Yup https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/costochondritis/symptoms-causes/syc-20371175

And the chronic version which I have: https://www.webmd.com/pain-management/tietze-syndrome
Ryebread91
Yeah. My hamstrings cramp if I run and they and calves feel sore. Is that from standing all day at work or clots? Who knows?
ThatOrangeApple
For real. I'm barely over 20 and have most if not all of these symptoms almost every day
ubatuba3000
So are you sure you are not having cardiac symptoms ?
erbiumyttriumytterbium
In most cases, several symptoms present at once with intense severity.
ActionKingTheBest
I might have been having a heart attack ever since I turned 30.

Siq101
Ooooh weeee, those sound fun!
JamesAHarrod
Me too, have most of those symptoms at least once a day
incubisexual
My exact thought reading this. "well my anxiety didn't need fuel, already worried about all this but hey fuck it I guess"
counterfeitdreams
Yeah apparently what I thought were panic attacks were actually heart attacks. 1 or 2 a month for five plus years. How am I still alive?
SociallyAwkwardCanadianMoose
This is why I wish we has something like a wrist watch saying go to hospital. Anxiety and acid are a pain
MrRareza
I feel ya. Acid reflux since 16 yrs old, and now I'm hitting forty and feel the rest of those symptoms constantly lol
Handingoutnapslikecandy
I just turned 31 and it's still happening so good luck.
HorriblyPositive
36 here and checking in. Mine got so bad my wife dogged me to get an EKG and heart ultrasound. Everything fine, just eat like I'm still 16.
HorriblyPositive
Apparently as you approach 40, eating a half dozen burritos will not actually give you a heart attack, it just feels that way every week.
ButtTrumpett
At once, or?
HorriblyPositive
I mean technically in series. I don't think I can fit six frozen burritos in my mouth in parallel.
FentuckyCriedKhicken
I had since 37. I thought I was gonna die but god has other fucking plans with me. He wanted to fuck me every three days with this.
NonstopRampage
Cr4zyC4tLady
I have had severe fatigue, exhaustion, and general anxiety always, since I was about 6-7, that I can remember anyway. It’s been miserable.
Alexict87
I'm glad someone said it cause I really started to fukin panic. Again.
thisappisajoke
Seriously I've gone to the hospital before because I have a lot of these and everything always looks okay. Acid reflux alone causes a lot.
ActuallyAPirate
All you other commenters saying you have these symptoms daily is very relieving, thanks
Corin
I turn 30 in a few months, and it's already happening!

So. You got kids.

EnemyoftheSteak
I had symptoms so I went to the ER to get checked. No heart event, just high anxiety and depression. Millennial problems
shimmerkitten
That's awesome, good on you for taking care of yourself ?
CorydorasAfavorplease
I was in and out the hospital for these symptoms for weeks and they kept telling me anxiety. It was, but clearly anxiety takes a real toll.
Skomer
I did the exact same thing.
rotzverpopelt
I have one twice a day. Or cancer. Or corona. Thanks anxiety!

You are already dead.

fredznclezo
Could be angina, please get checked ?
tcdriver
My heart attack felt just like heartburn....let that sink in...JUST LIKE HEARTBURN...
Aussiedobergirl
Both of mine felt like a pulled muscle in my sternum.
yogurtgoblin
My dad's did too. He drove himself to the hospital because he didn't want the fuss.
finelines1515
Mine too, lead to quadruple bypass
theoutlawedwoman
My grandpa had one at work and just kept chugging along. Grandma made him go to hospital that night when he said he was having chest pain.
theoutlawedwoman
The man's been struck by lightning twice, been I'm accidents and set his own bone, has a couple heart stints, both knees replaced but went
theoutlawedwoman
To repair the air conditioner a couple weeks later. He's a tough sonofabitch and stubborn as hell.
dabone
I've had 3 first 2 were just like bad heartburn. 3rd one much much worse
m3essential
How old are you? Do you have a Family history of high cholesterol/plaque?
dabone
Familial hypercholesterolemia runs in the family. I even had cholesterol build up in clumps under my skin in my 20s. I'm 50 currently.
m3essential
Good luck my friend.
Theglidingdutchman
Mine felt like I was really anxious and winded. Hour later I am in the hospital.
Obscurepythonquote
Like a menthol cigarette smoke in your chest , sounds stupid but . Non smokers, extreme mint feeling that hurts...
MaladaptedMedic
A heart attack can present functionally identical to a panic attack. Chest pain that radiates, diaphoresis, cold skin, etc... scary
RebeccaRuxin
My dad thought he was constipated and gassy. Turns out he’d been having a heart attack for a FEW DAYS. He barely survived
tz07
So is a heart attack just like the heart spazzing out? I just realised I know so little about heart attacks
RebeccaRuxin
I think so. I think your heart gets overworked and can’t pump blood as hard as your body needs it to. My dad had a blocked artery too
moltar512
yeah, same. i was 38 and my chest hurt, so i went to cvs and got some tums. It wasn't heart burn.
MisterDonutVampire
What does heartburn feel like? Someone treated me like an idiot for asking this once, I honestly do not know.
howagaarnfromstrala
Feels like a heart attack.
ColdSquirrel
Worst I ever had felt like something was trying to eat it's way through my chest from my back whenever I took a sip of water. Yay GERD
SilverStrings
1/2 Have you ever had acid reflux or leftover burning vomit feeling in your throat after throwing up? It's that same burning feeling, but
SilverStrings
2/2 in your chest. Usually feel that uncomfortable burning sensation center of chest close to heart. Hope that helped!
MisterDonutVampire
thanks.
floofnmeeps
Well now I'm terrified. A heart attack is my worst nightmare
m3essential
Yep. It’s an absolutely terrifying ordeal.

hattiesburglar
Don’t be afraid. Heart attack is your friend. Quick and painful.
SSlicer
Mine is an aneurysm in my brain. Dead b4 I hit the ground.
fregeek
To me is Alzheimer’s, dementia or something slow and painful like ALS. I rather go of a heart attack.
MeesusSuper
Totally this. I watched my dad die for 12 years.
fregeek
My dad died at 61 of a heart attack. My great grandma at 101 after 15 yrs with Dementia. A friend died...
fregeek
...of ALS: 3 years of slow death. No thank you! I rather go -even if it’s young- in seconds/minutes of a heart attack.
fregeek
Sorry about what you went through. I can’t imagine.
MeesusSuper
Thank you. It was rough. All through my teen years too.
