Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you for asking!
I read your query and understood your concerns.

Major warning signs or a heart attack are chest pain and dyspnea which are increased on walking around and are relieved by sitting down immediately or by nitroglycerin.

If you have one of these symptoms you should go to ER to exclude life threatening situations.

Hope this will be of help!
Wish you health!
