Sudden chest pain-often described as discomfort (tightness or
pressure like) in upper chest associated with radiation to jaw or arm, with
sweating, shortness of breath, and/or lightheadedness. Any or all of these features can indicate a
heart attack. This classic presentation
however is only described in a third of cases.
Atypical chest pain or no symptoms occur in 2/3 of patients.
