How To Spot the Early Symptoms of a Heart Attack

Did you know that heart attacks cause symptoms days and even weeks before the actual attack happens? 

Early Heart Attack Care (EHAC) can help you recognize the signs and symptoms so you can act early and minimize the damage of a heart attack. 

Early Symptoms of a Heart Attack

Early symptoms of a heart attack:

  • Anxiety
  • Tightness, pressure or aching in chest
  • Back or jaw pain

When these symptoms occur, call 911 immediately.
