Never wait and wonder
According to the National Heart, Lung,
and Blood Institute, more than one
million people in the U.S. have a heart
attack every year. Many of them don’t
make it to a hospital in time to get help.
“Some people wait to act, per-
haps because they’re embarrassed
they might mistake indigestion for a
heart attack,” Dr. Jasser says. “Don’t
hesitate. Seek immediate emergency
care, and let a medical professional
diagnose you. It might be worth the
embarrassment!”
