"The most common symptom a man experiences is chest pain. Men experience this probably about sixty percent more than women of the same age who are havin' a heart attack. This pain is one of pressure, fullness, or tightness felt in the middle of the chest, but it can radiate to the jaw, the back, the stomach, or down either or both extremities. It isn't necessarily described as a sharp pain, but more of one of pressure, fullness, and tightness. The other symptoms a male will experience with an impending heart attack are shortness of breath; they will become very sweaty or diaphoretic. The patient also will become nauseous, light-headed, complaining of feeling dizzy. Most times, these symptoms come on with some exertion in the male, but they can come on when he's not exerting, and the first thing you need to do if you are with the male about of age thirty to thirty five and has these symptoms, with or without activity, is to call 911 to get assistance on the way."
