jaw pain heart attack early signs

When people refer to jaw pain and heart attack where on the jaw is this referring to. Is it lower jaw or up near the cheek on the upper jaw. Is the pain intense or throbbing.

Next time would go to the emergency room where they can do labs and EKG. Cardiac enzymes from a heart attack do not show up till 48-72 hrs after a heart attack so they will need to redo the labs then. Many times heart attacks and strokes are caused from the same thing (clots.

There are the classic signs such as chest pain or pressure which is the number one signs as well as jaw pain, sweating, heartburn, shortness of breath, jaw pain, toothache, headache, and nausea and vomiting. Women also often have the signs of lightheadedness, nausea, extreme fatigue, fainting, dizziness, or pressure in the upper back. Heart attack is the number one killer of both men and women and involves death of the cardiac muscle.

I have heart murmur.I have pain on my chest,neck,lower jaw and back of the ribcage area.pain on the chest hurts more when I take a deep breath.Are these a sign of a heart problem?

Any chest pain is worthy of checking into....I would advise reporting your symptoms to your doctor. I think everyone experiences some type of chest pain in their lives and most of the time it's benign in origin. Keep in mind,however, that the tv portrayal of a heart attack happens in less than 10% of those that have one. Look out if you experience nausea, cold sweats, pain in jaw, pain that radaiates into the back or down one or both arms along with chest pressure.....

I have been having sharp pains in the middle of my chest. The pain goed up into my jaw and ear. What can this be? I have high blood pressure.

I have pain in my left arm and shoulder with numbness, and pain in my right arm. The chest pain is still the same. I have pain in my jaw, back, neck, and upper ribs. I also get tingling in my fingers on my right hand. I don't know if these are signs of a heart attack or the symptoms of what my doctor still thinks it is Costochondritis?

Pain in the jaw and back are signs of a heart attack. Also, you mentioned that you have a history of cardiac problems. Apparently, you know a little bit about what you're talking about since you have Angina, and you say it's happening more frequently. I also agree with SurgiMenopause about the CHF (Congestive Heart Failure). If you tire easily with activity and your feet/legs are swelling, accompanied by difficulty breathing, you probably have CHF.

This doesn't sound particularly like heart attack. And yes, sore muscles and all the other symptoms you describe can be caused by anxiety, especially if the anxiety is extreme and lasts for an entire day or longer. I think it's worth going to a doctor, for two reasons. One is just to make sure your heart is OK. Another is, if you get anxiety attacks like this often, it may be worth to start treating them.

Any jaw pain? Left arm pain ? Neck pain? Those are other signs for a heart attack... I know this sounds funny but it sounds like gastritis/indigestion:) He could try to take a prilosec ... or other heartburn indigestion medication :) good luck!

My Dad had a Stent placed after a heart attack one week ago. He has been having jaw pain all day. Should we be worried?

My father only had an upset stomach for two days - no chest pain - yet it was a heart attack - if only we knew. By the time he had the crushing chest pain he was 2 minutes away from death. The ambulance people tried to revive him for an hour and a half. It was no use. He didn't have any known heart disease or chest pains up to that point. I hope i have scared you. I wish i still had my dad and someome had scared me too.

IF not, jaw pain can be signs of other issues, especially after having chewed lots of gum. You could have something known as TMJ and that causes jaw pain. TemperoMandibularJoint disease can be brought on by repetitive movement of the lower jaw, which can cause lots of pain. You could also have a blocked salivary gland known as siladentits, which causes jaw pain. I would recommend seeing an MD if you have not done so already. Both of the issues I mentioned can be treated with medicine.

it could be something not as sinister, in a heart attack there is chest pain, lower jaw pain, dizziness, pain radiating down the armmainly left side, sometimes with heart disease there is a mucasey cough that lasts for months, are you healthy? have you checked your cholesterol? and bp?

Once yesterday and once today, I got this weird feeling in my heart, like a burning or pinching for a few seconds and then it went away. I really want to go to the ER because I'm scared I'm having a heart attack. Sometimes my left arm and jaw hurts too (all heart attack symptoms) but I can't tell if I'm imagining it from anxiety or my arm really hurts.

Does this sound like heart attack symptoms? I have been put on a prescription for beta blocker and given nitro spray, had an ecg, chest xray and blood tests but still waiting for results.

An hour is rather a long time for the heart to decide to have an attack after eating. Generally it would happen within 15 minutes of eating. As already stated, it is worth having your vital signs checked but maybe it would be worth eating something before you go to your emergency. I say this because if you go there with no discomfort, you can bet your bottom dollar nothing will be detected.

If there was a heart attack that usually indicates heart muscle damage, and that would impair heart contractions and if serious the lack of blood flow can cause heart failure. There may never be any further symptoms like what you have experienced (if a heart problem) until the heart fails and that results in pulmonary edema (fluid in the lungs), enlarged heart, shortness of breath, muscle fatigue and eventually cardiac arrest. I had heart failure and never experienced any symptoms prior.

I am generally fit and well, I eat well, I exercise a lot without breathlessness, dizziness, or any other symptoms. Well, during the night last night (early morning) I woke up with THE most excruciating pain in my chest. It was a 'small area pain' and located right on my heart area. No pain down my arm, neck or jaw. I could breathe ok, but this pain was like someone stabbing me with a knife!

I have been reading that women may have that kind of symptom before a heart attack. I had Rheumatic fever as a young child, and have never been told I had any heart damage. I have heart attacks in my family, my brother has had several bypass surgeries, and has a difibullar in place, and his heart is working at 20%. Is there a possibility this could be heart related, or is there some other cause? I would appreciate comments from anyone who has had this or knows someone who has.

I had a very scary evening last night I called 911 because I was having such horrendous back pain that went up my right jaw to my ear. It was the worse pain ever. I was petrified it was a heart attack as women can have heart attack pain in the upper back. The EMT'S we're so nice. They took all my vital signs and did an EKG. My blood pressure was elevated of course as was my heart rate.

Doctor checked only my blood pressure which was normal and refused to do further checking of heart , telling that I might be very young to have heart attack. Please , help me to understand this symthoms... Thank You in advance!

The only reason why I am concerned is because I have both chest and jaw pain and those are heart attack symptoms. I also have pain in both my arms. A couple days agobefore I went to the doctors I had sweating, pressure in chest, and trouble breathing Is that why the EKG came back normal because those symptoms were gone at the time?

It was very scary and I wondered if I might be having a heart attack or stroke. The pain subsided after about 3-5 minutes. I regained use of my right side after the incident. My blood pressure after this pain attack was 106/65. Heart rate was 52. It seems to me that those numbers would indicate that it wasn't a stroke or heart attack - especially since I'm fine now. My arm is a little sore, but I'm wondering if I'm just imagining the soreness.
