I had a pain run up my left side from the bottom up and over to my chest, which struck me from moving for a second . and my left arm hurts, but thats the only symptom. Anyone had a heart attack only reply please, what was your symptoms, and if you had this pain, doesnt a attack come on pretty quick after the symptoms?

If you think you are having a heart attack, call 911.
The symptoms of a heart attack are:
Chest pains that radiate down your left arm
Feels like a heavy weight is on your chest
Shortness of breath
Lightheaded-ness
Heart attacks can be symptomless, or the pain can be in different areas.
The paramedics would rather you be alive, than embarrassed for calling them about a panic attack.

Get to a Dr. now….I have had 4 heart attacks in 6 yrs time…I felt,pain & numbness of my arms,sometimes one at a time sometimes together,fatigue,mid back pains and coldness in that area,also flu like symptoms,running nose,cough,light headedness…I never really had shortness of breath or direct chest pains,that is one difference a woman has from a man at times…never ignore the symptoms you are having now…see a Dr.!!

Don’t screw around….call 9-1-1 and GO TO THE HOSPITAL WITH THE PARAMEDICS.
Women do not have “typical” heart attack symptoms, so you must rule out cardiac causes first.
