Your heart muscle needs oxygen to survive. A heart attack occurs when the blood flow that brings oxygen to the heart muscle is severely reduced or cut off completely. This happens because coronary arteries that supply the heart muscle with blood flow can become narrowed from a buildup of fat, cholesterol, and other substances that together are called plaque 💓
Symptoms for a heart attack may include:
• chest pain or discomfort
• nausea
• sweating
• lightheadedness or dizziness
• fatigue
