Symptoms of heart-attack:

A unique fact about heart disease is that, in general, the more serious the condition the more remote from the heart are the symptoms.   Amongst danger signals that may, but not necessarily do, betoken heart disease and invite prompt medical attention are:

1 Shortness of breath after slight exertion.

2  Pain or tightness in the chest, often running down the left arm.

3  Swelling in the ankles and abdomen.

4  Dizziness, light-headedness, or vertigo.

5  Seeing double (a particularly dangerous sign).

6  Indigestion that is vague and hangs on.

7  Persistent head-ache.

8  Fatigue without otherwise explained origin.
