Which of the following can be symptoms of an impending heart attack?

• A. pain in the arm
• B. breathing difficulties
• C. chest pain
• D. any of these

Answer: (D)

Warning signs before a heart attack can present in several different ways, and there isn’t just one universal telltale symptom. Chest pain or pressure is common, but people can also notice pain or discomfort in the arm, and breathing difficulties or shortness of breath can occur. These signs can show up alone or together, and they can vary from person to person. Because any of these can signal an impending heart attack, all of the listed symptoms are possible warning signs. If you or someone else experiences chest discomfort, arm pain, or trouble breathing, it’s urgent to seek medical help right away.
