      Anyone who suspects symptoms of a heart attack should call emergency services immediately.

      Only 65 percent of women would call emergency services if they suspected they were having a heart attack, according to a 2012 survey.

      Emergency treatment can save lives. Anyone noticing the following symptoms should call an ambulance immediately, especially if the signs are present for 5 minutes or more:

      •       chest pain or discomfort;

      •       pain in the upper body, including arms, back, neck, jaw, or shoulder;

      •       difficulty breathing;

      •       dizziness;

      •       extreme weakness;

      •       indigestion or heartburn;

      •       nausea;

      •       rapid or irregular heartbeat;

      •       shortness of breath;

      •       sweating;

      •       unexplained anxiety;

      •       vomiting.
