2.  Based out of Irvine, California, and offering
services to the greater Irvine area, Cardiac
Monitoring Services excels in tracking heart
activity. Patients who experience symptoms
on a daily basis will likely use the Holter
device for several days or a week, while the
Cardiac Monitoring Services event monitor
can be worn for more than a month and
will only begin recording as symptoms arise.
A heart attack is one of the most serious,
surprising health events a person can
experience.

3.  While some people may be aware that certain
health conditions have made them more susceptible
to a heart attack, others may be completely
blindsided. Knowing the signs of an oncoming heart
attack can help a person take the right actions
before becoming incapacitated.
Chest pains and other uncomfortable sensations
throughout the center of the chest are symptoms
commonly associated with a heart attack. An
unusual sense of fullness or a strange tingling can
take the place of actual pain, as can tightness of the
chest. These symptoms usually last for several minutes
or more and may subside before beginning again.

4.  Shortness of breath either
accompanying or in the absence of
chest pain can be another warning sign.
Leading up to a heart attack, pain and
discomfort may also travel to one or
both arms, the neck and jaw, the back,
and the stomach. Lastly, sudden cold
sweats or nausea can also be symptoms.
