How could people miss a heart attack? Knowing the signs can help you spot when someone happening:

• Discomfort in the chest or other areas of the upper body

• Pain in one or both arms, the back, neck, jaw or stomach

• Shortness of breath

• Discomfort like breaking a cold sweat, feeling nauseous and experiencing lightheadedness.

While the most common symptom for men and women is chest pain or discomfort, women are more likely than men to experience some of the other common symptoms, particularly shortness of breath, vomiting and back or jaw pain.

Heart health includes knowledge, and what you know could save someone’s life.

I’ve been thinking about that on my daily walks.
