When Is Chest Pain A Heart Attack?
If you wake up in the middle of the night with chest pain, your mind might automatically think you're having a heart attack. After all, it’s the number one killer disease in the USA. And the number one symptom is the vague term “chest pain”, which can be misleading because it’s not always painful nor always in the chest.
In most cases, people imagine they will have severe chest pain and dismiss the actual symptoms of a heart attack, go back to sleep and suffer one. Below I will discuss the symptoms you will and won’t feel if you are having a heart attack and what you should do, and in which cases you should seek help immediately.
How chest pain from a heart attack feels
The typical pain described is a feeling of tightness, squeezing or heaviness in the chest. The Latin term angina pectoris, meaning sensation in the chest, is a more accurate description. This pain has been described as feeling like a band or weight is being tightened around your chest. The pain is often on the left side and above the bottom ribcage, although it’s often difficult to determine its exact location.
Other typical symptoms include:
Shortness of breath Sweating, nausea, and anxiety Pain in the left arm, jaw or neck. What other symptoms might I feel? While the typical symptoms are definitely a reason to visit your physician, sometimes people feel less typical pains, which could also indicate that you are having a heart attack.
Pain not on the left side – sometimes the pain is located on the right, center or top of the abdomen. No pain – some people don’t experience pain and only feel shortness of breath. Research indicates that no chest pain symptoms can occur in 1/3 of people having a heart attack. Sharper pain - some people report sharper chest pains or the feeling of indigestion. How long should the chest pain last? The next indication of whether you are suffering a heart attack is pain duration. Consider the following 3 factors:

The chest pain lasts for at least 5 minutes and doesn’t last continuously for more than 20 to 30 minutes. Pain that comes on during rest, or doesn’t go away after exertion, also indicates a heart attack. Do I have any of the major risk factors?
Doctors like to consider the risk factors when determining whether your chest pain is a heart attack. They will take high-risk patients with atypical symptoms more seriously than low-risk patients with classic symptoms.
Age – the risk increases as you age. For men it’s after the age of 40 and for women it’s after the age of 50. It can happen to a younger person, but it’s more unlikely. Sex – this is not to say women aren’t affected by heart disease, but the risk for heart attacks is higher for men. http://en.bcdn.biz/Files/2015/6/28/293145a8-2dae-4244-9eb82d9bc2ea6b93.jpgGenetics – your risk is significantly higher if a member of your immediate family had or has coronary heart disease. The risk is even higher if that family member was a man under 50 or a woman under 60. Hypertension, diabetes, and cholesterol – these diseases increase your risk of having a heart attack considerably. Smoking – while most people think smoking destroys your lungs (and it does), more smokers die from heart disease. Smoking
substantially increases the risk of you having a heart attack. Source
What it shouldn’t feel like
Some chest pain is not consistent with having a heart attack.
Sharp and brief pain – stabbing pain that lasts only a few seconds is not coming from the heart. Persists for hours – heart attack chest pain will last for 20-30 minutes at the most and typically ends with a heart attack. Gets worse with movement – the sort of pain that worsens when pressed on is usually from chest bone or muscle pains and not the heart. You can pinpoint the pain with a single finger – heart chest pain tends to be difficult to locate exactly. If you have a worrying pain, there is no harm in having it checked out. It’s better to have lesser symptoms checked out than to stay at home and actually have a heart attack. If you are high risk, don’t hesitate to have the pain checked out. If you are high risk and have the classical symptoms, I advise going to the emergency room or calling an ambulance.

MAYO CLINIC - DRINKING WATER--You must read
this! MAYO CLINIC - DRINKING WATER
This is indeed good information. A cardiologist determined that heart attacks can be triggered by dehydration. Now I carry a bottle of water wherever I go. aspirin is also a good idea!
Good Thing To Know! From The Mayo Clinic. How many folks do you know who say they don't want to drink anything before going to bed because they'll have to get up during the night!!1 Heart Attack and Water - Drink 1 glass of water before going to bed avoids stroke or heart attack! I never knew all of this!
Interesting....... Something else I didn't know ... I asked my Doctor why people need to urinate so much at night time. Answer from my Cardiac Doctor: Gravity holds water in the lower part of your body when you are upright (legs swell). When you lie down and the lower body (legs and etc) seeks level with the kidneys, it is then that the kidneys remove the water because it is easier. I knew you need your minimum water to help flush the toxins out of
your body, but this was news to me.
Correct time to drink water... Very Important. From A Cardiac Specialist!
Drinking water at a certain time maximizes its effectiveness on the body: 2 glasses of water after waking up - helps activate internal organs 1 glass of water 30 minutes before a meal helps digestion 1 glass of water before taking a bath - helps lower blood pressure 1 glass of water before going to bed - avoids stroke or heart attack I can also add to this... My Physician told me that water at bed time will also help prevent night time leg cramps. Your leg muscles are seeking hydration when they cramp and wake you up with a Charlie Horse.
Mayo Clinic on Aspirin Dr. Virend Somers is a Cardiologist from the Mayo
Clinic
who is the lead author of
the report in the July 29,
2008 issue of the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.
Most heart attacks occur in the day, generally between 6 A.M. and noon. Having one during the night, When the heart should be most at rest, means that something unusual happened. Somers and his colleagues have been working for a decade to show that sleep apnea is to blame.
1. If you take an aspirin or a baby aspirin once a day, take it at night. The reason: Aspirin has a 24-hour "half-life"; therefore, if most heart
attacks happen in the
wee hours of the morning, the Aspirin would be strongest in your system. 2. Aspirin lasts a really long time in your medicine chest; for years. (when it gets old, it smells like vinegar). Please read on. Something that we can do to help ourselves - nice to know. Bayer is making crystal aspirin to dissolve instantly on the tongue. They work much faster than the tablets. Why keep Aspirin by your bedside? It's about
Heart Attacks There are other symptoms of a heart attack, besides the pain on the left arm. One must also be aware of an intense pain on the chin, as well as nausea and lots of sweating; however, these symptoms may also occur less frequently.
Note: There may be NO pain in the chest during a heart attack. The majority of people (about 60%) who had a heart attack during their sleep did not wake up. However, if it occurs, the chest pain may wake you up from your deep sleep. If that happens, immediately dissolve two aspirins in your mouth and swallow them with a bit of water. Afterwards: - Call 911. - Phone a neighbor or a family member who lives very close by.
Say "heart attack!" - Say that you have taken 2 Aspirins. Take a seat on a chair or sofa near the front door, and wait for the ir arrival and ........
