Severe chest pain and shortness of breath!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
Heart attack typically presents with acute onset of severe left chest pain associated with shortness of breath, dizziness, cold sweats, etc. However, the presentation is not always typical especially in the elderly population who can present with no pains but just shortness of breath, cold sweats, etc.
If you have any of these symptoms, please consult your doctor and get a rapid EKG, heart enzymes measurement and clinical exam. This would be very helpful at making the exact diagnosis.
