HEART HEALTH FACT #3

Each year 735,000 Americans have a heart attack.  Knowing the warning signs increase your chances of survival.

Sadly, only 27% of people can identify all the major symptoms of a heart attack and know to call 911 immediately when they occur.  Immediate action saves lives!  According to the CDC, the major signs of a heart attack are:
  • Chest pain or discomfort
  • Upper body pain or discomfort in the arms, back, neck, jaw, or upper stomach
  • Shortness of breath
  • Nausea, lightheadedness, or cold sweats
