Do you know all the signs and symptoms of a heart attack? If not, now’s the time to commit them to memory. Taking time to recognize all five signs and symptoms of a heart attack can save your life or the life of someone you love.

Heart disease is the leading cause of death in Idaho, accounting for one quarter of all deaths. Heart attacks strike both men and women and can happen at any age. Some deaths from heart attack can be prevented by seeking immediate medical assistance at the first sign of symptoms.

While many people know to call for help when experiencing chest pain, a recent study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that only a quarter of adults know all the symptoms of a heart attack and the importance of calling 911. The signs and symptoms of a heart attack are:

1. Chest pain.
2. Pain in the arms or shoulders.
3. Feeling weak, lightheaded, faint or nausea.
4. Shortness of breath.
5. Pain in the jaw, neck or back.
