CORRECT!

Chest pain is the most commonly reported heart attack symptom. But the pain may not feel severe or "stabbing." It may feel more like a discomfort. Chest discomfort may be accompanied by or follow shortness of breath. Or discomfort or pain may be felt in other areas of the upper body, such as one or both arms, the back, neck, jaw, or stomach. Also, other symptoms that can occur include breaking out in a "cold sweat," nausea, or light-headedness.
