Would you recognize a heart attack?
Heart attacks don’t always look like what we see on TV. Some start slowly, with mild pain or pressure that comes and goes. Others strike suddenly.
Here are some common warning signs:
- • Chest discomfort or squeezing pain that lasts more than a few minutes
- • Pain spreading to the arm, back, neck, jaw, or stomach
- • Shortness of breath
- • Cold sweats, nausea, or lightheadedness
If something feels wrong, don’t drive yourself — call 911.
Our firefighters and paramedics are trained to begin advanced cardiac care on the way to the hospital, when every second makes a difference.
Comment “Done” if you completed today’s safety check.
