What Are The Symptoms Of A Potential Heart Attack?
If someone were to experience a mini heart attack would the hospital just send them home that day without doing anything. Also was wondering if a person was to wear a holster heart monitor for a few days would the dr be able to detect bleeding around the heart from the results n if they could would the dr wait till next morning to see patient or tell then to get to hospital ASAP. I m wondering all this cause I m worried about my sister who is apparently going through all this

Hi welcome to HCM.
Heart attack can present with wide variety of symptoms,among which chest pain is more prominent.This can radiate along the upper arm and xiphisternum,.Occasionally it can present with breathlessness and nauseating sensation,.All cases with chest pain have to be evaluated through EKG and Troponin assessment.Drugs like heparin and antiplatelets help in prompt reversal of symptoms.Consult your cardiologist for further queries.
Thank you
