Sweating – Similar to stress sweat, rather than sweating from exercise.
Fatigue – Extreme tiredness.
Chest Pain or Discomfort – The pain can be anywhere in the chest, not just the left side.
Stomach Pain – Can range in intensity from heartburn-like pain to severe abdominal pressure.
Nausea – Flu-like symptoms, including nausea, may occur a few days before a heart attack.
Pain in the Arms, Back, Neck, or Jaw – Pain can be gradual or sudden.
Shortness of Breath – Typically trouble breathing for no clear reason.]

Also! If you can stand up and walk around the room, it’s more likely panic. If you try to stand up and are too weak, call 911 and get to a place where the paramedics will be able to reach you (i.e. crawl to the front door and unlock it)
