Dr Nishant Tyagi, director of interventional cardiology at Medanta Noida, warned that heart attack symptoms are often subtle and frequently misdiagnosed as acidity or indigestion.
Patients often experience pressure, tightness, squeezing, or fullness in the centre of the chest rather than severe knife-like pain.
Discomfort can also radiate to the shoulders, back, neck, jaw, or arms, and may be accompanied by breathlessness, sweating, or nausea.
