When to Seek Medical Care for Coronary Heart Disease, Symptoms of Coronory Heart Disease,

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
• Palpitations or dizziness

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.

Coronary Heart Disease Symptoms, Cardiac Arrest Common Symptom of Coronary Heart Disease, CHD Symptoms

Cardiac Arrest commonly occurs in people who have had previous heart attacks, but it may occur as the first symptom of heart disease. Most people exhibit some symptom or discomfort. Symptoms usually occur during exercise or activity because the heart muscle's increased demand for nutrients and oxygen is not being met by the blocked coronary blood vessel.

More common symptoms of coronary heart disease include the following:

Chest pain on exertion (angina pectoris), which may be relieved by rest

Shortness of breath on exertion

Jaw pain, back pain, or arm pain, especially on left side, either during exertion or at rest

Palpitations (a sensation of rapid or very strong heart beats in your chest)

Dizziness, light-headedness, or fainting

Weakness on exertion or at rest

Irregular heartbeat

Silent Ischemia is a condition in which no symptoms occur even though an electrocardiogram (ECG, or heart tracing) and/or other tests show evidence of ischemia. Arteries may be blocked 50% or more without causing any symptoms.
