Experts say that when someone is experiencing a heart attack, the heart muscle isn’t getting enough oxygen-rich blood due to a blockage in the coronary arteries. In response to this stress, the nervous system goes into overdrive, which triggers flight-or-fight mode.
Pain in upper chest, upper back, left hand, upper jaw is major sign of heart attack.
Pain in the upper chest, upper back, left arm, or upper jaw can be a major warning sign of a heart attack. This discomfort may feel like pressure, tightness, or a dull ache. It often radiates from the chest, signaling that the heart muscle is under stress due to blocked arteries.
Heavy chest like someone kept weights on you is final sign of attack.

It may start gradually or come suddenly and often radiates to the left arm, jaw, ot back. This pressure-like pain can be accompanied by shortness of breath, nausea, or cold sweats. It is advisable to seek immediate medical attention.
