Can Headache, Vomiting And Sweat Be Considered As Heart Attack Symptoms?

Hi, I am a 55 y/o female and last nite I mowed the lawn, yes, in the heat. After I showered I suddently got a headache that got worse. I laid down and started feeling naseau, and started vomiting, cold sweats and some tingles. I feel some better this AM. Did I over-exert or have heart attack symptoms?

Thank you for choosing HCM

I understand the anxiety that you must be facing. It seems that you have symptoms of heart attack. When you have headaches, vomiting and sweating, it is possible that you have these symptoms due to the pain in the chest.

In some cases, there is no pain but the anxiety and the sweating is still present. The next step that you should take is to get an ECG taken. This will help you get to the cause.

Please follow up after you get the ECG done.
Hope this helps you.
