HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
A heart attack occurs because a part of the heart is not receiving enough blood. It normally occurs in person with a history of angina, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity.
The symptoms are: (1) severe chest constant pain,usually in the centre of the chest. This pain is tight , heavy or pressing pain that may sometimes go towards the neck or the left side of the chest
(2)shortness of breath
(3)palpitations
(4)diaphoresis- excess sweating
(5)dizziness
(6)nausea and vomiting
(7)anxiety- persons can experience what is termed- a sense of impending doom
If these symptoms occur it is best to go to an emergency department as soon as possible.
Treatment would involve 3 main aspects: (1) pain relief
(2)restoring blood supply to the part of the heart effected- aspirin and medication to break up the clot
(3)reducing the chance of any complications ( there are different types of medications that can be used such as beta blockers, ace inhibitors, l caritine
I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
