What Are The Symptoms Of A Mild Heart Attack?

I have had a heart attack--I don't know when or where. I had an EKG and it showed I had an attack. If I did not know I had one how will I know if I have had another one? How many attacks can a person have before they know they have had one. I am a 56 yr old female.

hi,
it actually doesnt depend on number of heart attacks in some patients it just appears as mild epigastric discomfort or tingling in left arm.if you have any of above go to nearest doctor.
i advice you to visit a doctor regularly as you already have had an attack..
important symptoms are
1.left chest pain or epigastric pain radiating to
neck left arm upper back(even tingling in arms)
2.dizziness confusion or syncope
3.profuse sweating, vomiting
it is observed that some or only one of the above
said symptoms is seen occasionally
