(16-05-06) Unusual Sweating Predicts Oncoming Heart Attack

When individuals begin perspiring, after little or no exertion, while experiencing discomfort in their chest, arm, neck or jaw, it could indicate the onset of a heart attack.
Time is of the Essence
Time is of the essence during a heart attack. Doctors have urged people who experience common symptoms to get to a hospital as quickly as possible. These symptoms can include shortness of breath, cold sweats, nausea, lightheadedness, or discomfort in the chest, arm, neck or jaw.
Sweating is a Key Factor
Many seek treatment when they experience a high number of these symptoms; however, those who only experience a few may delay seeking treatment, which can be dangerous. Sweating may be a key factor in the symptoms that prompt individuals to seek treatment.
