How To Survive A Heart Attack When You Are Alone. by Stanley21: 4:30am On Aug 13, 2019
The question now is how do i know i have a heart attack so i fetched
this:

Typical heart attack symptoms

Chest discomfort or pain

This discomfort or pain can feel like a tight ache, pressure, fullness or squeezing
in your chest lasting more than a few minutes. This discomfort may come and go.

Upper body pain

Pain or discomfort may spread beyond your chest to your shoulders, arms,
back, neck, teeth or jaw. You may have upper body pain with no chest discomfort.

Stomach pain

Pain may extend downward into your abdominal area and may feel like heartburn.

Shortness of breath

You may pant for breath or try to take in deep breaths. This often occurs
before you develop chest discomfort, or you may not experience any chest
discomfort.

Anxiety
You may feel a sense of doom or feel as if you're having a panic attack
for no apparent reason.

Lightheadedness

In addition to chest pressure, you may feel dizzy or feel like you might
pass out.

Sweating
You may suddenly break into a sweat with cold, clammy skin.

Nausea and vomiting

You may feel sick to your stomach or vomit.

Most heart attacks begin with subtle symptoms — with only discomfort
that often is not described as pain. The chest discomfort may come and
go. Don't be tempted to downplay your symptoms or brush them off as
indigestion or anxiety.

Don't "tough out" heart attack symptoms for more than five minutes.
Call 911 or other emergency medical services for help.

If you don't have access to emergency medical services, have someone
drive you to the nearest hospital. Drive yourself only as a last resort,
if there are absolutely no other options.

Heart attack symptoms vary widely. For instance, you may have only
minor chest discomfort while someone else has excruciating pain. One
thing applies to everyone, though: If you suspect you're having a heart
attack, call for emergency medical help immediately.
