Heart Attack

A heart attack happens when one or more of the arteries that supply your heart becomes blocked. This means that the muscles in your heart aren’t able to get all the oxygen they need. The longer the artery is blocked, the more dangerous the situation becomes.

Go to the hospital or call 911 right way if you think you might be having a heart attack.

• Signs and symptoms of a heart attack

• Pain, pressure, or discomfort over your chest

• Sudden pain or tingling over your arms, back, neck, jaw, or stomach

• Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing

• Nausea or vomiting

• Sweating or cold, clammy skin

• Feeling dizzy or lightheaded

If a serious injury occurs, the best thing you can do for yourself or a friend is call 911 - never hesitate to ask for help! A life might depend on it.

REMEMBER: Every phone, even without a payment plan, can call 911
