How do you know if you have heart problems?

[Edit]
Supervised by Itamar Medical

Answer

3/4 of people rushed into ER have anxiety attacks which mimic heart attacks, but one should always take this seriously and call 911 if they have:

A hard time breathing; feels like someone is sitting on their chest; are perspiring a lot (cold sweat); vomiting (in some cases); numbness either on the left or right side and especially the arms to the neck and jaw area. If you suffer from stress it's best to see your doctor and see if they will let you have a stress test done by a heart specialist. It's better to be safe than sorry and will put your mind to rest.
