Hi,
I will give you some advises so you can determine whether you have heart attack.
Heart attack is not likely, if
1, pain intensity changes with movements
2, pain intensity changes with breathing
3, pain intensity changes with palpation

Heart attack is likely, if pain reveals with nitroglycerin spray.

Hope I could help you.

In case of further questions don't hesitate to ask.

Regards,
Lilit Baghdasaryan
