💓 As Heart Month comes to a close, it’s a good reminder that heart attacks don’t always look like the dramatic scenes we see in movies. 🎬❌

Many start quietly, with symptoms that can be mild or easy to ignore. Signs to pay attention to:
❗ Chest discomfort — pressure, squeezing, fullness, or pain in the center of the chest that lasts more than a few minutes or goes away and returns.
❗ Upper‑body pain — discomfort in one or both arms, the back, neck, jaw, or stomach.
❗ Shortness of breath — with or without chest discomfort.
❗ Other symptoms — cold sweats, nausea, lightheadedness, or dizziness.

If you or someone around you experiences these symptoms, don’t wait to see if they improve. Every minute counts when it comes to protecting the heart muscle. 🫀

📞 Call 911 right away.

🚑 Emergency responders can begin life‑saving care as soon as they arrive — long before reaching the hospital. 🏥

Know the signs. Act fast. It could save a life.
