Heart Attack Symptoms

6. Shortness of Breath

Shortness of breath can be completely normal after intense physical activity. However, if it is severe or sudden, please contact a doctor. Because it can be an indicator of a heart attack. Shortness of breath initially occurs with exertion but may get progressively worse and eventually occur at rest in severe cases. It typically is worse on lying flat on your back and patients sometimes wake up from sleep and sit up to catch their breath.
