HEART ATTACK WARNING SIGNS
Some heart attacks can be sudden and intense, but most heart attacks start slowly with mild pain and discomfort. Know the warning signs and how to respond quickly and properly. Most heart attacks involve an uncomfortable pressure or pain in the center of the chest.
It can also include pain or discomfort in one or both arms, the back, neck, jaw or stomach. Heart attacks can include shortness of breath with or without chest discomfort and may include breaking out in a cold sweat, nausea or lightheadedness. Know the signs and save a life-it may even be your own!
CELEBRATE NATIONAL HEART MONTH
February is National Heart Month. This is a good time to take care of your "sweetheart" and yourself by taking action against heart disease!
Being heart smart starts with knowing your numbers: from cholesterol and triglycerides, to your blood pressure, waist size and body mass index. Make a daily commitment to a heart-healthy lifestyle. This means not smoking, exercising regularly, making good food choices and reducing stress.
