Heart attacks are something that is often shown in movies or tv shows, but when they happen in real life, it’s important to know the warning signs and learn what to do if you have any signs or symptoms. Meredith Fleming, a nurse practioner with Prairie Cardiovascular, says that it is important if you feel like you’re having a heart attack to be seen immediately.
Fleming says you should call 9-1-1 and not have your spouse or loved one try to take you to the ER.
Fleming says there are ways to prevent having a heart attack starting with a healthy diet.
Make sure to follow up with your primary care physician.
