chest pain


Chest pain can be a warning sign of a heart attack. It can feel like uncomfortable pressure, squeezing or fullness. If you feel this kind of chest pain or other heart attack warning signs, call 9-1-1. Another type of chest pain that occurs during physical activity and subsides with rest is called stable angina. Stable angina can usually be managed with medication, but a heart attack is a medical emergency.
