From the perspective of a doc who has worked on a coronary care unit: these are the classical symptoms you can find in all textbooks (we now know that in women the symptoms can be a lot more vague, in some only feeling a bit short of breath ):
- have a typical painful, cramping, oppressive feeling across the chest, as if it a was in a vise
- typically the pain radiates to the left arm, the neck, the back between the shoulder blades (usually in inferior wall infarction)
- people typically sweat, have wide pupils, a fast pulse, symptoms of high adrenalin levels
- they very often are nauseous
