What Are The Symptoms Of Potential Heart Attack?

Hello, I just had some type of nerve/heart attack at age 23. It lasted about 3 minutes. My arms from my fingers to my elbows (both sides) went numb first. My fingers curled up. Nerves in both hands caused my hands to curl. My eyes felt like they were being forced shut by my system, but I could force them open slightly. Then legs basically became useless as I started to lye on the ground.

Hello,

What you're experiencing is not likely a heart attack. It seems to be more of an electrolyte imbalance probably low potassium.

Typical of heart attacks would include chest pain substernal in nature with crescendo-decrescendo pattern with radiation towards the jaw and left arm.

This could also be associated with heavy sweating and a fast heartbeat. most people would have a feeling of "impending doom".

On top of all this, you should have risk factors for a heart attack such as hypertension, diabetes, or illegal drug use.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Chuckie Miguel Bacolod, Internist / Hospitalist
