How do you know if im having a heart attack?

First off, I want to say that sometimes, a heart attack can be asymptomatic, or silent, which means just because you don't have the symptoms doesn't mean you aren't having a heart attack.

Most people experience a crushing feeling in their chest, as if somethings constricting you from the inside, if that makes sense. There can be sweating, nausea, cold hands and feet, and shortness of breath as well.

If you are worried you're having a heart attack, be sure to call 911 right away, because sudden death is not uncommon.

Also, if you've had previous health issues, you're more likely to get a heart attack. Stay safe and happy holidays!
