Kindly let me know if there are any silent signs of heart attack.

There are often no symptoms. That is why it is referred to as a “silent heart attack.” However, possible symptoms of a heart attack are: tightness or squeezing sensations and/or chest pain with radiation to the left arm, lightheaded feeling, collapse or fainting episodes.

Palpitations—when your heart races and/or is not in rhythm is also an important sign. Also important is shortness of breath and difficulty breathing (you feel like you cannot get enough air).

It is important for anyone with any cardiac symptom, go to seek an emergency medical attention immediately.
