What does a heart attack feel like ?
- Thread starter MAJOR METAL
- Start date
Like a hundred monkeys playing some creole funk on a grand piano with extra tuba's to boot, except it's out of time, painful, and radiates from a growing hole of burning hell in your chest. It will hurt enough to make you crap your pants.
Add to that fine description a feverish sweat, nausea and a tingling in your arm(s).
I bet it feels like a foreshadow to death.
When i took my class for medical training for work, A patient explained to us about her heartattack, She made it sound real bad. I'm scared to ever experience one

Imagine walking into your bass-room, to find that somebody has poured paint stripper over both your Sadowskys
!Well, that initial feeling of shock, but repeated over and over again until you lose conciousness - I guess
!?
LMAO
a heart attack will present differently to different people, the quality of the pain can be described as a heaviness or pressure, maybe a stabbing pain or dull ache, pain can originate in the chest and radiate to the back, neck, arms, jaw, etc. sometime the pain is not in the chest at all and all one experiences is back, neck, jaw, arm pain, many people think they are experiencing acid reflux (heartburn) and others may have no associated pain at all, (the deadly silent MI). Nausea, vomiting and diaphoresis are tell tale signs. Many of the signs and symptoms are associated with the area of the heart that is dying. From the many people I have seen having a heart Attack I can honestly tell you that it is no es bueno.
It varies a lot: can be pain, pressure, indigestion, and some are even silent.
With most other pains, you can say this hurts here or that hurts there. With a heart attack, you are the pain!
A guy that used to live with my grandmother for a while (not my grandfather, that's another story) heart blew a valve in his chest. When they found him it happened so quick they had to pry him off of the wood trim on the floor because when he feel his teeth hit the trim and stuck. Seeig that and having a photographic memory not a good combo.
My father had one earlier this year, he went white, green & blue. Looked like he was choking but made it through. He said it was extremely painful all down his left side and arm and that once the medics gave him a drug it all relaxed and he was ok.
Sad thing is it can be mostly prevented by stuff everyone knows but takes the chance.
