Health and Fitness (Part 7: Heart Attacks)

Heart attacks happen to people every day.  The more we are educated on the symptoms, the better we have a chance of getting immediate medical attention.

Thanks to BFF Josie's sister Wilma's friend Ailee for sharing this life-saving information.

A serious note about heart attacksWomen should know that not every heart attack symptom is going to be the left arm hurting.

Be aware of intense pain in the jaw line.

You may never have the first chest pain during the course of a heart attack.

Nausea and intense sweating are also common symptoms.

60% of people who have a heart attack while they are asleep do not wake up.

Pain in the jaw can wake you from a sound sleep. Let's be careful and be aware. The more we know, the better chance we could survive.
