Q
My father has some of the heart attack symtoms but of course he says they are nothing important. When some one is about to have a heart attack do all the symtoms happen at once or can the swelling be today, the arm pain tomorrow, and the trowing up the next?

Many people experience warning signs of a heart attack several days or even weeks before a heart attack. Shortness of breath, chest pain or chest discomfort, neck/shoulder or upper back pain/discomfort, nausea, overwhelming fatigue, numbness/tingling in hands can be some of the symptoms of a heart attack. It is best to have these symptoms checked, do not ingnore them.
