Chest pain is the most important symptom of heart attack. But heart attack can occur with other symptoms like undue fatigue, breathlessness, sweating etc. Confirmation is by getting an electrocardiogram and other investigations after a preliminary evaluation by a doctor.
Note: For further follow-up it is advisable to consult an emergency medicine specialist. Click here.
