Hi! I have high risk for heart attack. So I know what symptoms of heart blockage are. Heart blockage is condition when arteries may reduce or completely cut off the blood supply to a portion of the heart.
Those are symptoms and signs of heart attack: uncomfortable pressure, fullness, squeezing or pain in the center of the chest lasting more than a few minutes. Pain can spread to the shoulders, neck or arms. The pain may be mild to intense. It may feel like pressure, tightness, burning, or heavy weight. It may be located in the chest, upper abdomen, neck, jaw, or inside the arms or shoulders. Chest discomfort with lightheadedness, fainting, sweating, nausea or shortness of breath also can occur. It is possible that you have increased or irregular heart rate. You have chest discomfort; you should call emergency medical services...
