Call your health care provider if you notice any of the following symptoms, which suggest angina:

• Chest pain, pressure or feeling of indigestion after physical exertion, which may or may not be relieved by rest
• Shoulder or arm pain involving left, right, or both sides during physical or mentally stressful activity
• Jaw pain, unexplained by another cause, like a sore tooth
• Shortness of breath after exertion or walking uphill
• Fainting spell
• Pain in the upper part of your abdomen
• Unexplained nausea, vomiting, or sweating

Call the emergency helpline (Ambulance) or have someone take you immediately to a hospital emergency department if you have signs of a heart attack.

The most crucial factor is time. Each year, thousands of people die because they do not seek medical attention quickly. Err on the side of caution and go to the hospital. This may prove to be the difference between life and death.
