Sorry, Try Again
It’s better to be safe than sorry, and sometimes chest pain—even mild chest pain—is the only indicator of a heart attack beginning. Emergency medical personnel, or mobile EMS teams, can diagnose a heart attack and begin treatments on the spot. They can even revive a heart that has stopped or is beating erratically. Call right away—do not wait longer than 5 minutes from when symptoms start. It’s okay to be wrong. Emergency medical personnel want you to call to get a heart attack checked out. And even if the call turns out to be a false alarm, running the risk of feeling a little embarrassed is better than running the risk of dying or having a permanently damaged heart.
