Silent symptoms

You hardly notice a silent heart attack (it’s in the name, after all), but there are a couple of symptoms that point to a more serious problem than simply fatigue. If you’re experiencing one or more of the following symptoms, make sure you stay alert. Contact your doctor if you’re feeling worried about it.

  • Tightness or a squeezing sensation in the chest that may spread to the neck, jaw or back
  • Sweating
  • Vomiting, nausea
  • Pain in the upper belly
  • Pain between the shoulder blades
  • Shortness of breath
  • Extreme fatigue
  • Dizziness
  • Restless feeling, anxiety
  • Sped up breathing
