Some heart attacks are sudden intense. Others start slowly, with mild pain or discomfort, then progress over time.

Commonly, people experience a heart attack when they are not fully aware of what is happening and they may not seek immediate medical attention. This can prove fatal.

The signs of heart attack and symptoms of a heart attack may include shortness of breath or a tight chest sensation, pain over the heart or the middle of the chest, pain or discomfort in one or both arms, neck, jaw and back, a cold sweat, upset stomach and dizziness. High Blood pressure and heart attack have connection. Our medical experts say that blood pressure is controlled by flexibility and overall side of the blood vessels.

Inflammation and excess cholesterol reduce the flow of blood, which ultimately increases the pressure within the blood vessel. When the pressure increases your heart must work harder to pump blood through the smaller space and wherever the blood is travelling to (for example; arms, toes, brain etc) will suffer.

Blood carries vital nutrients and oxygen to tissues throughout the body. The diminished blood flow ultimately affects the ability to heal over time, the tissues deteriorate.
