Every year, lakhs of people get admitted to the emergency ward for treatment due to complaints of chest pain. If you are also feeling any such problem, then it is possible that you are having a heart attack. But chest pain can also occur due to other reasons. Heart attacks have become a common occurrence these days. If you see signs of a heart attack around you or at home, do not hesitate to seek help. Some heart attacks cause severe pain, while some heart attacks attack victims in a very silent manner. Those that come with severe pain may then cause difficulty in breathing, but on the other hand, there are also heart attacks that start silently with mild pain and restlessness. 

These problems start occurring in the body due to heart attack

Earlier, mostly elderly people used to suffer from this disease, but now cases of heart attack have become so common that even younger people are falling prey to it. There are many reasons behind heart attack, such as if you are a patient of high cholesterol, diabetes, obesity and high blood pressure, then you can get a heart attack. If the patient is not immediately taken to the hospital after a heart attack, then life can also be lost.
Most people consider only chest pain as a symptom of heart attack, but it is not so. Before a heart attack, our body parts start giving many types of signals. It is believed that the pain of heart attack is related to the chest, but its symptoms are also seen in many parts of the body.

About 30% of people have a heart attack without chest pain. This is called a silent heart attack. Silent heart attacks may have mild symptoms or no symptoms at all. These people are more likely to have a silent heart attack: Elderly people, women, diabetic patients, people with heart failure. 

Symptoms of a Silent Heart Attack

in the jaw, arms, or upper back

Sometimes pain in the jaw is also due to heart attack

According to the news published in the English portal India TV, Dr. Akash Shah, Consultant Pathologist of Newberg Diagnostics, Ahmedabad, is telling where the pain of heart attack occurs in the body other than the chest. Apart from the chest, the pain starts in these parts of the body. Pain in neck, jaw and shoulder: The pain of heart attack can spread from the chest to the neck, jaw and shoulders.

Back pain is not caused by chest pain but by heart attack

Some patients who suffer from a heart attack complain of pain in the upper back. This pain often occurs between the shoulder blades. It is more common in women, but people usually mistake it for a muscle strain or fatigue. Abdominal pain: Often mistaken as a symptom of indigestion or dyspepsia, upper abdominal pain can be a symptom of a heart attack. If these symptoms are accompanied by shortness of breath and fatigue as well as nausea or vomiting, you should immediately consult a doctor.
